August 18, 2009 - Are any of you ladies entering the Anita Goodesign Crazy Quilt Contest? I've only completed 7 of my 12 squares (will work on more this week), and I must say...

I went to the site and did the survey, had to choose a state to complete it as they did not provide countries (chose NE whichever state that might be - I'll have to look that up). I saw a lot of beautiful design, just as well my credit-card is not within reach. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished quilt one day. Have fun constructing it and good luck in the contest!

NE is Nebraska, Martine, a very flat plains state in our Mid West, what's called the "breadbasket" of the USA due to all the wheat and corn grown in those states. If you ever saw the musical or movie "Oklahoma", it's like that, sort of. Seems funny that Anita Goodesign, being such a large company, wouldn't think of an international audience. Hugs, Marji

Well if you chose Nebraska - you chose a good state to be from - We flatlanders can be fun. I was born and grew up in Nebraska, and moved to Florida many years ago to be married. But we have to be careful walking up hills - our feet don't know what to do. Hugs

Thank you both for the info. Dlonnahawkins: the same applies to me: the Netherlands are as flat as a pancake, everything over 100 ft is called a mountain - but I did a lot of mountaineering in Austria when I was younger and more nimble-footed.

I have downloaded them and can't wait to try them, but I have too many other projects that take priority right now. I hope you are going to post your creations in the projects section! I would love to see them!

Teri - you are so industrious. I will have to take a look at them and see what to do. I have not been able to be on my machine much - long story, but this could be fun.

Thank you!You have been quite an influence on me. Since reading your post on embellishing machines I had to have a look....uh oh! One of our local shops had one on sale...when I came home and raved about it my DH went and ordered me one! It should arrive next week...I'm so excited!!
Also on a personal note I noticed that you mentioned you had endomitriosis.I too had that & complications after I was married. Well I'm still here, by the grace of God, 30 yrs later. We have no children but are and have been extremely happy.

Oh I'm so happy you got one!!! My friend just bought the Baby Lock Embellisher and we're going to be doing a lot of playing on that sweet thing!

Oh, endomitriosis isn't fun... :-( If that were only my problem Chenille, but unfortunatley I have more...and they're not too good. :-( BUT... we have our sewing and friendships!

I can't wait to see your projects lady! Bling, bling, bling!!!!! :-)

I keep asking my friends at the local fabric shop if they will sell me time with my purchases..... so far no luck.
Hugs, Chenille
P.S. I am thinking of you and prayers are with you...we have lots of trials,but you know we will survive.

Ok, Teri, you got me, I downloaded the designs for the quilt blocks. Maybe tomorrow I'll unzip and see what's up. I might just be inspired! Hugs, Marji
