I got the fabric in and am shipping it to Winstin today! Yay!

Winstin07 · 09-26-2007, 06:11 AM

I can't wait to get it. Thanks.

I can't wait to start. I'll be making a trip to Joann's for a second block, and something to embellish it too.

This is to exciting. I will be sending picture block out on Friday or Saturday. I will mail it Priority. You should have by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. I can not wait to see it decorated.

Fabric came today from IluvLucy. It is a nice bolt of fabric! Perfect for the quilt. We need more YT members to get involved. Any of you have any ideas on how to make that happen????

I am going to be doing 2 picture blocks and one other block. Is there a certain color theme you would like for the picture blocks?? Or is it all going to be "what you see is what you get? I will be happy to do 4 blocks if that will help.

So far everyone is emailing me the pics for the blocks. That way they all match. I can pm you the fabric info I get that way you can do the same if you like. If you want to make two blocks (does not include picture ones) that would be great.

Yes, if you can get me the info. Actually I already bought the printable iron on fabric, but I can use it for something else if I need to send the pictures to you. I really don't mind doing them myself either. I have sewed for over 45 years and am computer literate as well as photoshop literate (lol.. ok mostly photoshop literate) and have done printables on t-shirts etc. It is up to you.
OH, I just figured out that you were saying you could pm me the info so I could get matching fabric. lol.. OK.. pm away!!

Maybe someone has a quilting machine and they would take it and quilt it at the end of the line or we could have a meet up and hand quilt it all together. Then we could sell it and donate the proceeds to a Yorkie Rescue. It could all be pictures of our yorkies for the quilt block?
What do you think? And if anyone knows more about what size block and how to put it all together, please help with that sort of advice too.

Two or three years ago, some ladies on the Bichon List got together and made a Bichon quilt. They sent a square to anyone who wanted one or you could make up your own. They all submitted the squares to a couple of gals who quilt and they put them together in a one-of-a-kind, really spectacular Bichon quilt. It was absolutely beautiful. Then we raffled it off. We raised thousands of dollars with it for Bichon Rescue. It's a great idea and the quilt would certainly be unique and wonderful! (The person who won the original raffle donated the quilt to another rescue group to raffle off again!)

I maybe in. I can not sew at all, but I have two friends that quilt and sew ect. Maybe they can help me. How do you do a picture block?????

coroth · 10-03-2007, 12:31 PM

Do we have a deadline on when we need the quilt squares done? I don't have any cute yorkie material around my hometown so I will need to make a trip to the nearest Johann's (1 hour away) or order some...so if there is a deadline, I would like to know so I can get a move on it! You know...a little inspiration to get the job done

. I hope this works out as greatly as I can imagine!!!

IluvLucy · 10-06-2007, 12:53 PM

I finally made my quilt block! I've had so much going on lately that it took me forever to get to it.

Ya'll will be so proud of me - I figured out how to put a picture on fabric! I'm so excited about it.

Also - I bought a raffle ticket to benefit a man with terminal cancer in a nearby town - I won a QUILT!! How about that

This is the quilt - It has a fireman theme and the fireman's creed is embroidered around the border.

Sharonandtink · 10-06-2007, 01:05 PM

You guys have recieved your quilt squares already? I have not recieved mine. Still looking for it.

IluvLucy · 10-16-2007, 04:25 PM

Just bumping this up so everyone will remember to send in their square

Sharon, did you ever recieve yyour squares? I purchased the same fabric they were using for the picture squares at Joannes online and did my own, but correct me if I am wrong, but I think most everyone was going to email thier photos to Winston07 to do

I sent 4 completed blocks (2 picture blocks and 2 non picture blocks) to Winston on Thursday so she should be getting them anytime now.
