Rebecca's Row for Pat

This star is called "Twin Star" and it is printed from EQ5.  These are two of my favorite batiks that I've been hoarding for a while now.  The pink isn't as dark as it is in the picture.

Misha's Row for Pat

Well then, nothing like a deadline looming to make me kick into gear and get some sewing done!! Here are my 4 blocks for Pat's row. I used the Blazing Arrows block from Quilter's Cache. I've always liked this block, and in fact had bookmarked it to possibly use in the previous Row Robin for Becky's row but then went in a different direction and did some appliqued animals instead.

I oriented 2 of the blocks 1/4 turn just so you could see them better...you can also line them all up facing the same way and then the black background makes some triangles and diamonds between the blocks. If you click on the photo you can see close ups of each block.

Hope she likes them, I tried to pick some of the prettiest batiks from my stash, including a couple of brand new ones I just picked up 2 weeks ago at a show :)

Smokey couldn't help herself, she just loves to pet the fabric!!

Round 4 - Karen's Row for Pat

We're off to a great start, ladies! Karen has already finished Pat's row, but she noticed the background fabric is running a bit low so she's going to acquire more before sending it off to me in Washington.

Just as well, as all I've done so far this round is make some empty baskets for Colene, LOL! Two of the 4 are sewn down, the other 2 are glue basted. I've signed up for a Quilt University class that started this week to learn Hawaiian Applique from none other than Nancy Lee Chong herself, and hope to put her tips to work on appliqueing flowers into these baskets in the near future.

Hope all y'all are doing well, and feel free to post progress pictures if you wish. You don't have to wait for the entire row to be completed to give us a peek! This round has a mailing deadline of September 22nd, so there's plenty of time left :)

Pat's Rows - Round 3 is Complete!!

Colene's at the top, Pat's in the middle and mine at the bottom.  Planning to dash by the PO this week before DD and I leave on our trip. -Dee

I found this post sitting in the hopper from a few days ago. I know Blogger has been acting up and I'm sure Dee meant to post it. I'm stealing it to use as the announcement that this round is officially complete! Everyone has the start of what will be the Round 4 rows now. Way to go ladies!!! -Misha
