Shall I post a picture of the fabric I bought to use as the thread? It's REALLY pretty  We NEED at least 20 to sign up, don't we? *********************************** “May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial.

Gonesewin, yes please post a picture. Thanks Kelley | |||

Question: Can we applique the "thread" fabric onto our row, or does it have to be pieced in? Since it will only be on my row, it would give me a bigger pool of patterns to use if I could just do a needleturn applique on the strip. Just wondering. LindaJ52 | |||
|
Applique is fine Its your quilt after all! Just be aware that not everyone knows how to applique, so you may not get applique on the other rows. jane_kiwi | ||||
|
20 would be pretty hanging up around that nice big conference room! Maybe we should have two more sign ups before they get to see the fabric Jane CoF CoF CoF! | ||||

That's okay. I don't care if there's applique on the other rows, I just thought it would be neat to applique the "thread" on my row. Thanks for the answer. LindaJ52 P.S. - Please, please show us the fabric! | |||
|
 |
I have another basic question: when you go to Quilter's Cache for blocks and they say 12" is that finished and joined to the rows or 12" before you join it in? That's a great source for blocks. | |||
|
 |
Hi, I'll go ahead and join this challenge! It should be great when all put together. Curious about the special fabric, etc. Thanks for organizing it. | |||
|
 |
I think I'd really like to see the 'thread' fabric b4 I sign up...might help me w/ a design for a row....please & ty! ****************************** Take time for kindness & for giving. Take time for friends & happy living! **************************** | |||
|
 |
Since I do mostly paper-piecing, I would like to know the dimensions of the strip of blue fabric. Would there be enough, etc.? Thanks, Susan | |||
|
Quilters cache patterns are the finished size. So if you chose a 12 inch pattern from her site then it will be a standard block, 12.5 unfinished which is what you want If you are using Quilters Cache, remember to read the copyright instructions - especially for her own pattern designs Jane_Kiwi | ||||

go to the COF blog and you can see another picture of the idea of the "thread" - http://cof2013.blogspot.com/ *********************************** “May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial.

|
Personally, I don't want to view the fabric ahead of time...part of the fun and challenge...just my opinion | ||||
|
|
Thanks Jane. That helps a lot! and Lori. | |||
|
 |
I hope to be caught up by January. Sigh me up! Callie is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |||
|
 |
Please sign up! you won't regret it! Last year's was so much fun for me! The middle row may be a creativity challenge, but putting additional rows on is easy - once you see what's been done, it generally "speaks" to you and tells you what it wants. And the additional rows can be applique, piecing, traditional, non traditional, invented, etc. etc. And the finished projects are amazing. Pics did not do them justice! | |||

Jane added to the PM SUE B The smallest Cross in the corner is the one you put in the room. I hope all our daily ups and downs are with needle and thread. COF 2007 http://www2.snapfish.com/snapf...BRAND_NAME=snapfish/ | |||
|
 |
So, if we did this how many rows would each of us have to complete? | |||
|
|
Janet - each person will end up making 5 rows. One of her own (the one w/ the "thread" and 4 more - 1 for each of the members of her group. Total=5. *********************************** “May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial.

Lori-thanks. | |||
|
 |
I'm getting into very deep water here - but I'll sign up if we get four more people to make the last group. Concerned about my imagination compared to all the qreat designers here, but willing to try. So if four more of you are concerned about the time and imagination - sign up with me and we'll inspire each other to get this done. | |||
|
 |
Me too. I'm so darn symmetrical this was a tough one for me but I think I have figured an acceptable layout. If you get enough to do another group of 5 I would love to be included. The robins have been so much fun and have turned out beautifully! You learn so much too. | |||
|
|
We need 3 more to complete another group for a quilt. Come join us.. it could be very interesting. | |||
|
 |
Elainetoo, I think warm bun is in too, so I think we're down to only two more needed. Who's next? | |||
|
|
Jane, did you get my PM? | |||
|
|
I said I'd join if we needed to fill a group *********************************** “May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial.

I was not at the retreat nor on the wait list but will send a PM to inquire about joining. I'd like to participate if there is room for people not on the lists. | ||||
|
Okay, I signed up and sent my PM, now I'm having panic over this! I am a fairly new quilter. I'm not super creative, nor as advanced as most here, but I will do my best. IF there is anyone who doesn't want a beginner on this, PLEASE let me know, and I'll bow out with no hard feelings. I WILL get them done, but they may not be as cool as some peoples! | ||||
|

... Sandy - I looked over the rules and expectations again - PERFECT isn't even on the list ... so you can quit worrying already! Isn't it nice having friends who look out for you You are a busy mom, you just need to schedule it in not seek to present the best of the very best ... I'm not sure who will ever do that, but you can bet it's not me .. and I'm in. So come play. Hugs to you my friend. I cannot change 'things', but I can change how I feel about them. Me.
