Music....

Here is mine.When I looked up Wikipedia I was struck by the picture they use to represent music....I really liked it.Also I really want to try celtic/bias work and intended to copy the picture using bias tapes.I have the clover maker thingee and spent a frustrating afternoon teaching myself how to use it only to come to the realisation that (at least for me) a 12 in square is just too small.So I started trying to work it in threads of various types.

Then I pursued another idea completely for a while and went back to this.The outlines are done first in wool and the then threads mostly shiny rayons are added.

I bound the quilt in white...in a sort of tribute to Michael Jackson.(Black or White)

Have a nice evening...

Mines done!!!!!

Greg is just getting the photos organized.....I am excited coz it looks BETTER or at least passable on camera...and rubbish in real life!!!
Do I wait till sunday or go now????
Off to find next months topic....just cant think of one at all.

Groveling apology

I need to ask for an extension until Sunday.
Many apologies to you both, we are very short of Registered Nurses at work so I have been working extra shifts and really just haven't had time to get my quilt finished.
Can we make a new rule that we can ask for an extension ......can do this only once...maybe, possibly??
I'm grasping at straws here!!
Let me know what the majority decides!

This sounds like an excuse - BUT my quilt is done and ready to be photographed but need Ryan as the computer has gone and got itself a virus - Mr notme has been downloading stuff and got it infected so I need Ryan to take a photo with his phone and put it onto his laptop. The world is conspiring against me!!!!!

tomorrow

Mine will be late ....very late.I will need to wait till Greg gets home to get the photo up....and will be up late making the QUILT!
sigh

Counting Down

Doesnt a month go FAST.Very fast....I am still working on the second idea and no I didnt make the first since it just wasnt working,,,,and have abandoned my third idea since its too complicated and there is only FIVE FULL DAYS LEFT!!!!
Hope all is well at your homes....

hi

Okay my second idea is almost done but.....well it didnt quite end up as I wish....and now a completely different idea is filling my head!!!! I think its better to wait till the last coupla days hehehehe
I love school teachers! Its so quiet here today...ah bliss

I've been thinking of what I am going to do for my quilt and have it planned out in my head and going to draw it up tonight to see if it works like I want. I do like your idea of our own tune. Isaiha's does suit him!! I won't be looking at people without thinking of what their 'song' is. Great thoughts. I was planning to do some quilt today but we had Christmas in July last night and it ended up late and now I am old I needed a nana nap this afternoon. I was reading my book but kept dropping it!! 'Rain drops keep falling on my head' came to mind at soccer today! See not just people have songs - situations too. Life is just one big song!!!!!!!

hello

Bit despondant today..Brandon wont work on his schoolstuff and my first try at the music quilt didnt work! I hope the rest of you are working away...I expect I shall be finishing late as usual.
On another tack....Brandon and I noted that Darth Vader always has music in his scenes ( I know you are humming it..Dah dah dah -dah) and we have been having fun with the idea of a band following people around ...Isaiahs music is *It isnt fair,??? and I want my share....* (Dont know the song name but I can hum it!
Liezzas would have to be Hannah Montana at the moment....pumping up the party now!
I am searching for song with nanna (And the whine) in every line!!!
Imagine always having to wait till the music ended till you could speak!Might save some embarressing outbursts!
What a strange post!
Off to replan my ideas.....

Beginnings quilts

Thank you for letting me check out your quilts.
I love the thread you used on yours Bev, it really adds a different dimension doesn't it.
They look great all lined up together..amazing to think they were all inspired by the same w0rd.
I will take a photo of all three quilts together and see if I can get it on this site.

Is it?already? No?

Aren't we so clever!!!

I must say I thought all July's quilts were fantastic!!
And I was worried about the word I chose but I needn't have at all!!
Music...not much coming to me yet but I'm still convinced I can do this before the 31st and maybe even have time to spare!!! Now that's getting carried away...
