Please add me to the Maine list. I see KC1930 is before me, but I want to be there in 2013 also.
Quiltbea

McPatches, your doll quilt is lovely. It's going to look so good on a little doll bed.

Tisme, I will put you at the bottom of the list with me & City/Sandie & PatriciaAnne. As time goes on we can pick a state. You don't have to have anything in your quilt that represents the state you selected. I originally thought if I did a "state thing" last year we would be able to send at least 50 little quilts to Debbie. 2013 is basically the same. You can put a state theme of some sort in your quilt if you wish but you don' have to. In 2014 I'm thinking of asking for state themed quilts....maybe.

quiltbea, I've got you signed up for Maine.

I see New Hampshire is shy a hostess. Well, I vacationed at my sister's country home in NH for many years as I grew from child to womanhood. She was much older and dearly loved. In her memory, I'd love to make a quilt from New Hampshire as well.
Add my name to NH.

Quiltbea, I've added you to New Hampshire & thank you for that request.

Please sign me up. I would like to make one for New Hampshire and one for North Carolina. Thanks for doing this it is a great project.

Nicki -
should our little quilties be washed before we send them on their way?

mcpatches, it does not matter if the quilties are washed or not. It's your preference.

I made up the blocks for my two doll quilts in the 4-patch stacker pattern. I had to try out my new design wall, the sticky Quilters' Block Butler. Love it.
I can finish them up this week and I'll be ready for the 2013 mailing.

Here is a picture of the 2 I mailed Sat.

HI LADIS
NICKI PUT ME FOR MASSACHUSSETS I AM HAPPY I DID NOT PASS THIS ONE

I have a question?????????
Are we to adhere to the exact measurements posted or can be go say an inch bigger ????


Cute little quilties....

May, they don't have to be those "exact" sizes. Mine that I made for 2012 were not exact & I know Debbie could still use them. You surely can go an inch or so bigger or smaller.

Quiltbea, your two quilts are going to be so pretty. I know they will make 2 little girls very, very happy.

shequilts, I love your 2 quilts you made. They are so colorful & cheery. Can't you just visualize the looks on the children's faces when they get these with their doll bed or stroller?

Ely, I will sign you up for Massachusetts & thank you so much for helping.

Made two doll quilts (one of each size) this weekend and will put them in the mail to Deb sometime this week.

Thanks Nicki....some of us quilters have inspiration when we are laying patterns out and ZOOM off we go and then come the .."Oh but"...sans my question. Isn't is amazing we are working on these for 2013 with Christmas looming..

You can also put me down for Connecticut as I lived there for over 20 years.

KC1930 you've been added to another state. Thanks for the support.

Have I told all of you lately that I love you? This board is just the best of the best. THANK YOU & {{{HUGS}}} to you all!!!!!

We love you too!

aww Nicki-you're so sweet and I'm blushing

In my mind's eye I can see some little angels face just light up in awe and wonder. Makes my heart swell!

Nicki, I was thinking what KC said... we DO love you too! You got us involved in this fun, worthwhile project!
mcp, I love your strings!
quiltbea, love your posies!
shequilts, love your two quilts... just perfect to cover a dolly!
I pull fabric today so will be sewing soon

Please put me down for South Carolina. I see it doesn't have anyone yet.

shequilts.....What adorable little quilts. Good going girl.

I had so much fun making these 2 little quilts I've started on 2 more. I happy to hear that it is OK to make them a little bigger. Thank you. We love you too.

dd quilts, South Carolina belongs to you. Thanks for wanting to make a quilt.

Nicki: I would love to join in the fun. Please put me down for Massachusetts as I have lived here all my life. I also would like to do one for Vermont as this is one of my favorite states to Visit. Thanks, Nancy

Catwmn27, thank you so much for joining in on this great project. This is our second year of helping with these & the response from our board has been tremendous. I've got you down for your favorite states.

Add me to Georgia. I have some extra blocks that will work perfect.

Downsouth, you're a "peach" for taking on Georgia. Thanks!!!

I just received an email from Debbie. She said my little quilts arrived and they are so cute. I am happy they got there.
Thank you!!! and I appreciate her email.

Thanks for letting us know you mailed them & that they arrived safely. Debbie is such a sweet lady & will enjoy each & every little quilt.

Here's my first doll quilt finished, 14x18. I'll mail it when I get #2 quilted.

Quiltbea that is soo pretty.I like that you posted the actual finished size...

TcMay....I always put the size on my labels. That way anyone knows right away which bed it will fit: twin, full, queen or in this case a cradle or doll bed.
Mine simply read: "Made in Maine for Christmas 2013" and "14x18" at the bottom. I used a pigma pen.

quiltbea, that turned out so pretty. I love those blocks. That's a great idea with putting the size on the back. Thanks for making these & posting the picture.

my daughter lives in West Virginia and most of my family is from there! So I will take WVA since there are so many of us from Ohio!

West Virginia was a good state to pick, sprmom. There's just something about loving the state that a daughter lives in. Thanks for joining us for the 2013 "Get Your Mrs Claus On" project.

My 2nd doll quilt is done. Another 14x18 in blue and white poinsettia print.

.... oh quiltbea those are so pretty - I like the block you are using - so am I! It's one of my favorites from way back when ... love seeing it back into focus... and you sure are an artist with it.

City/Sandie....Thanks.
Its seems most of the quilts and snugglers I've been making are the 4-patch stacker. I love the look, they are always so pretty and they are easy. And you can't beat the mystery of seeing what each block will look like. Everyone who's rec'd one from me loves the design. At my age I now go for easy and fast.

glad I could help this year, thanks Nicki!

shequilts, Debbi posted a picture of the little quilts made on her blog today. She's got a nice close up shot of them & they sure are pretty. She will probably post everyone's quilts as she gets them (she's so good about that). I will try & keep y'all all up to date as she receives them by linking y'all to her blog below:

http://stitchintherapy.blogspot.com/

Y'all are the BEST!

Here's my contribution so far. I have a few more orphan type blocks left, but need to get 2012 Christmas sewing and quilting done!

ALL the little quilts are so adorable. I am so pleased that Debbie published my 2 little quilts pics on her blog. That really make me proud.

McPatches, those little quilts are awesome & Debbie will be so happy to add them to the 2013 collection. Thank you for helping the children.

shequilts, I know how you feel about Debbie posting the quilt pictures. You can tell that she really liked them & was appreciative of what you did for the project. I always loved it when I saw mine on her blog.

Heard from Debbie that she received my two for 2013. Mark me done

KaribbeanQuilter, thank you for letting me know that your little quilts were sent & made it safely to Debbie's home for storage. Do you have pictures to share with us?

As each of you send your quilts I will put a smiley face by your name if you let me know.

I'm assuming they can be flannel too? I have some really cute Tinkerbell fairy fabric leftover from a project I did for Quiltaholic.

I made a 9 1/2" block that is black and gold with a teddy bear in the middle. This was the only block I made (when my DIL said she didn't like the colors) so it's perfect for this project. I never knew what to do with that single block until now!

Add me to Kentucky too! Kentucky is my home state and the sun still shines bright in my heart for my old Kentucky home (sa..lute!, lol).

Downsouth, you certainly can use flannel. I made 2 last year from flannel that were so soft & cute. I'm signing you up for your Old Kentucky Home state. Thanks!

Crocheted & knitted quilties are welcomed also. There are not strict rules & regulations to this project.

Ok, I'll do Montana, only place I've ever lived.

STinMT, The Big Sky Country state is yours! Thanks for being a part of the quilt project.
