| Mine will go out early Monday morning to Marie. It's time to start rowing!! |
|
| I'll get mine in the mail on Monday too. I'm very excited about getting this started and getting to see everyone's row. |
|
| I'm so sorry, everyone! It takes some time to put together the group photo and I haven't had a minute to spare in the past couple weeks. One crisis after another at work and in the neighborhood. If I can't get it done tonight, then I will have it done one night early this week. Promise! Kate |
|
| I might not be quite as much of a slacker as I feared. I don't think I have photos from Marie or from Joyce. Friends, have you sent me pictures yet? Remember, when you send it, please do the subject line just like this so I can find it again later: "HEART IN HAND - Your Name". Thanks! Kate |
|
| - time to start rowing - LOL with all the rain we are getting right now, there may be alot more truth in that statement than you know :D Kate, Tara, mine was sent out this morning but I forgot to include the instruction.... Yes, it is Monday and it was still on my sewing table when I got home this afternoon. I will send it out so that you can include it for me this week. Marie |

| Hello everyone, I sent my photo to Kate, and I've sent my row to Kay. Can't wait to get my first one! Odessa |
|
| Hello I got Tara's row today, I think I have an idea what I'm gonna do. But I will think about it for a day or 2 before I start anything Michelle Ps I love the turtles |
|
| Odessa, your row arrived yesterday. I love it, and just can't wait to get started on it. Everyone, Odessa wants us to think Spring when we work on her quilt. Well, I don't know how it is in your part of the country, but around here, when spring comes, it brings.... MUD! So be careful whenever you open the package carrying Odessa's row. I'll be sure to seal it up well, but you know how it goes, MUD does ooze! Just thought I'd give you a heads up! |

| Really sorry I've had to drop out of this! But be assured, I'm going to try and keep an eye on what you're doing and how things are progressing. Sounds like you all are inspired and having fun. @:) SharonG/FL |
|
| Gena, I recieved your row just now! It is sooooo PRETTY :D I am going to start looking for a block pattern now and may even get started this afternoon LOL Marie |

| Michelle, I got your row a couple days ago, and finally had the opportunity to open it late last night. I LOVE IT! Now, as an old "FARM GIRL" myself, I wonder what I can put with these chickens to enhance them .... I know! I think I have some sparkly skyscraper fabrics .... oooohhhh, the creativity is starting to flow now! Odessa |
|
| I would love to join in too but I can't become a member on that forum because I am outside the US. I guess it is because of the seed exchanges that are run there. Oh well, another forum at another time might run a pin cushion exchange. But can you post a link again when you all post pictures please? |
|
| I am not sure how my message ended up on this thread????? I was on What are you quilting this weekend! Halloween gremlins must be doing their thing! |
|
| Maria, I finially got to open your package. What wonderful farm animals. I have a question. Do you want the background the same for all of them. Yours was the unbleached muslin. I can do that or have different backgrounds. Which would you prefer? Or do you care? Tara ps I also got the note to put in with the row. |
|

| I finally decided on an autumn row I'm going to make for Kay's quilt. I've ordered some fabric it should be here anyday now. Her row is really creative and pretty. Can't wait to get started on it. Gena |
|
| FINALLY! Here's your group picture. I was going to start a new thread with the image so it would be at the top and will do that if you want me to, but here it is for the group to see. This one was tough! All of the quilts are so different and the sizes are dis-similar too. But they are lovely and so interesting! I think you'll all have fun!
Kate |
|
| Tara - it doesn't really matter to me what you choose. I want this to be a fun blanket for everyone ( including the little ones that will be sharing it with me). Do what ever you think kids will like.... I went with the muslin because that is what I had on hand - no grand scheme there LOL Thanks for posting the row pictures Kate! They all look great :D I have the fabric cut out for Gena's and plan to have it finished over the weekend - I am having a wonderfulo time with all the 'mud & snow' colors that spring brings! FYI - just recieved the news this week: my first grandbaby is a GIRL!!! She wont arrive until April but I am already working on a quilt for her :D Marie |
|
| Marie! Congrats on the news about your granddaughter! |
|
| Tara - just a heads up :D Gena's is ready for another leg of her jouney! I will be sending it out on friday... Marie |
|
| I'm going to have to get busy. I may not have Maria's ready to mail for another week. I was going to try and get it finished this week end. This had been fun. I love the challenge. |
|

| Michelle, Yes, I got it, and I'm perplexed: how do I add another animal to this? Turtles and skunks and ________???? Oh, my! Kay, I'll try to get Michelle's chickens off to you by the first part of next week. Don't worry, you haven't missed it. (And the silver and purple skyscrapers I've added really add a statement!) Happy Turkey Day, everyone! Odessa |

|
| Michelle, I'm sending you a row today. I got rows together but am sending them seperate. I still need to finish the other one. Tara |
|

|
| hello I got it Tara. Odessa did you get the package I sent? how is everyone doing on their rows and should we do a quick check on who has what rows? I have Kay's michelle |
|
| Empty hands here, so if something was sent, we need to be checking with the post office. Kay |
|
| hello I'm still trying to find out where the other rows are. michelle has Kay's Kay has empty hands Odessa..... Marie.... Tara... Gena... I'm sure we would all like to know where they are at this point. |
|
| Michelle, I sent Odessa's to you on Friday. So I don't have any now. Glad you have Kay's, maybe you can get her's done before Odessa's arrives. Tara |
|
| hello I got odessas on sat, I'm almost done with Kays but dont want to send to odessa till I know if she is ready, she has not posted in a wile has anyone heard from her. michelle |
|
| I emailed her mid-month. She's been having some delays, but I haven't heard anything since then. Kay |
|
| Hi, everyone, I just got an email from Gena. She's been having problems logging on. She just wanted to post an update that she has empty hands, too. Kay |
|
| michelle has Kay's and Odessa's Kay has empty hands Odessa..... Marie.... Tara... empty hands Gena... empty hands marie and odessa do you have the other 4 rows, odessa can I send kay;s on to you? I have finnished it. I will be done with odessa's soon and would like to know where we are on finishing this swap. thanks everyone michelle |
|
| hello ok i'm getting worried about this one, marie dosent have any rows eather, I just finnished odessas. I will send her an e-mail and let you know what I hear. michelle has Kay's and Odessa's |
|
| hello I sent odessa her rows and a note asking her if she wants to drop out of the robin, incase something has happened that has left her unable to compleat the robin. I have asked her to send all the rows to me and I will send them out to those that have not worked on them yet. I will let you know if I hear from her michelle |
|
| hello I checked on the DC# for the package to Joyce, it was delivered yesterday and I had included my phone number incase she no longer has internet or computer acess. so I think we have to call this one on hold till further notice. I have kay's rows, everyone has added their rows except joyce, would you like me to just go a head and send it to you? if joyce shows up later it can be up to you if you want to send it to her to do hers. please let me know if anyone hears from her. |
|
| Michelle, that would be fine.Thanks for doing all you have! And as soon as we hear from Joyce, or if anyone has rows I can work on, please send them on. Kay |
|
| hi sorry joyce has all the other rows, yours Kay is the only one accounted for. |
|
| hello I sent Kay her rows, I hope you like them I think they look great. I have a DC# and I sent them priority so they should bee there soon happy quilting everyone michelle |
|
| On hold is a good idea - as Odessa is MIA from #3 also :( Hope everything is okay with her and her loved ones, Marie |
|
| Michelle & Everyone, They're here, they're here!!!!! My rows came home! And they're WONDERFUL! Marie: Your blocks are so bright & cheerful! I think my very favorite is the one of the reeds! The squirrel is so friendly, but he seems to be saying "Don't touch my acorn!" And what a lovely center the mushroom makes! Tara, the leaves are GREAT! I was really hoping for each of those blocks! Believe it or not, they all were battling it out to be in my original row, especially the sweet gum leaf. I have fond memories of a sweet gum tree growing up. Michelle, I really love the sunflower row! The stars and sashing are just the right colors and look so "fallish". It's amazing how you could take a star, and make it blend right into a floral setting. Just perfect! Thank you all so much for all the work you did.. I love them all! I still need to add sashing and decide on final layout, but what a great quilt this will be! (Picture does not have rows in order listed above!)
|
|
| hello your so welcome kay I had a great time working on it. maybe we can try this again when we all have the time to do a do-over. happy quilting everyone michelle |

| Awesome job, ladies! Loving every row! SharonG/FL |
|
| Looks wonderful, I loved seeing everyone's rows. Have fun putting it all together. Please post a picture when you get it finished. Tara |
|
| I heard from Odessa! She is OK but has very good reasons for dropping out of sight for a while. I won't go into any details, because that would be for her to share, but if you knew any of the story you would understand. She thanks you all for your patience. She has all of the round/row robin missing pieces. I told her that if she wants she can send them all to me, without adding her borders or rows, and I'll get them sent to the appropriate person on the list. But she would like to see how much she can get done on them this weekend. Kate |
|
| Odessa, If you're checking in... a big hug! Glad to know you're ok. Kay |
|
| Hi Oh thank goodness I have been so worried about her. I look at the quilt from out last round robin and wondered where she went. BIG HUG Odesssa, we miss you very much. Michelle |
|
| Michelle, I received you quilt yesterday - It is FABULOUS!!!! :D I will not have a chance to work on it until after the 15th but will get it sent on ASAP. Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! |
|
| no rush marie take your time and have fun michelle |
|
| Tara - a quilt top is on its way to you :) Marie |
|
| Marie, I got the package on Saturday. Love the chickens. I had already put stuff away for this. I'm having to remember or rethink what I was going to do. I don't applique very well so I'm looking for paper piece chickens. |
|
| Hello Tara is that my rows you have? Dosent have to be chickens just kinda country or barnyard, or going with The color. I can't beleve almost a year later and my row is still making its way Around. Are there any more still wandering the countryside? Michelle |
|
| Michelle, Yes this is yours. It's beautiful!. I've found some chickens and chicks and some other things that will go with them. I was wondering if any others were out there too. Tara |
|
| tara did you ever get yours? or anyone else get theirs back? thanks for letting me know I guess there is still hope. michelle |
|
| I have not received mine yet and only have Tara's to finish when it arrives. hint, hint... LOL Marie |
|
| I have none to work on, have worked on Michelle's and Joyce's and passed them on. I have blocks ready for Tara's whenever it arrives here. Mine is missing. Kay |
|
| Michelle's is the only one I have left to work on. I haven't gotten mine back yet. Tara |
|
| hello MY CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME. and they brout so many wonderful friends with them. I just love my great quilt, I cant post any picks due to problems with my computer but everyone did an absolute great row for my quilt. thanks so much and big HUGGS to you all.
