Tumbaweeds Round Robin

This is Betty's round robin I did before I did Stephanie's... it is out of order but that doesn't matter. I am glad to say this month they all go home. I will be posting Stephanie's on Thursday

More Theme blocks

So as you can see I have been very busy making blocks...

Tumbaweeds Theme swaps

Our group has come along in leaps and bounds. We have 40 members now and so many swaps going it is a little hard to keep up with them.. I feel as owner I need to join in on all of them to see the work coming through. So here are the blocks I have done since my last posting.

Tumbaweeds Row x Row

I have been busy doing my row x row flowers.. never again will I applique in a row x row. I don't wear a thimble so my fingers have holes in them and why does the needle always find that sore spot.

I finished Mellie's Irises and Rayleen's Pansies. I am now busy working on Ann's Tulips and Irises.

Mellie's Rows are Trees. She used Hand Dyed Fabric... really nice.

Rayleen's Rows are Houses. She has used mainly Greens and Browns.


I really love how these rows grow as you add more rows to them.

Tumbaweeds Round Robin

Well, it doesn't look like I have been doing any sewing lately but that is not correct... I have finally finished Stephanie's Round Robin. She started with a folk art centre and I did the final round of picket fence. I really hope she likes the final results. This quilt finally came to measure 78" x 84". It was really hard to take a photo. The wind blew at exactly the correct time...

Tumbaweeds - Row x Row

We are doing a Row x Row in Tumbaweeds now and we have signed up with 10 ladies doing 9 x 9" blocks. I feel that this is too big a quilt but it appears the USA ladies prefer bigger quilts.

Lori is doing Mountains and Moons
Stepahnie is doing Maple Leaves
Carol is doing Applique Cats
Cheryl is doing Pieced Hearts
Betty is doing Houses
Lesley is doing Friendship Star
Margaret is doing Sun Bonnet Sue
Ann is doing Frogs
Marell is doing Trees
and I am doing Flowers.

I have chosen 9 different flowers and each lady can have the 9 or 1 whichever they prefer

Tumbaweeds - Calico cuties

I am doing a picture swap with SCQIS where I am doing 'An Egyptian Market Place' so I have decided to put that as the centre of a quilt and add Egyptian Gods around it to make a quilt. for my block I chose "Maat" . I got the fabric for a Christmas Present and just fell in love with it.
