Hey girls! How are ya? I hope all is going well! This week is the "Catch - Up" week for the
wanted to give everyone an extra week - just in case!
There are SO many pretty versions of the Darlene's quilt out there - hope you all get a chance to check them out! Thank you again Darlene for the awesome pattern - I'm waiting for the next one (smile)!!!!
I've decided to try something a little different this time for the parade! We're going to try "Mr. Linky" - so that we can see more photos and read about your quilts on your blogs. SO -
To be included in the prize drawing next week, you'll need to do two things:
1. Finish your quilt top (you don't have to have it quilted), and post about it WITH PHOTOS on your blog!
2. Enter your info below to link us to that post by Wednesday, July 21:
If you don't have a blog, you can e-mail me a photo, and I'll add them here!
This quilt was made by our Charming Friend, Liz M.
This quilt was done by our friend, Nancy C.
and this one was done by Sharon V.
Lovely job Girls! They're both just so pretty!
Can't wait to visit you all - and see your quilts!
TTFN,
Kelly
Thanks so much Kelli and Darlene for hosting the sew-a-long!! I enjoyed every moment of it!

I took this quilt to share at the Jo Morton club meeting at the LQS yesterday....they wanted the pattern and were so delighted when I told them where they could find it and for FREE! Thank you both Darlene and Kelly again and again.

Thanks for hosting this and sharing Darlene's wonderful pattern. I'm really happy for the catch-up week 'cause I want to get mine quilted and bound, and there is nothing like a deadline for real motivation -- gotta go baste the top!

I am within an hour of finishing my quilting on this quilt but won't be able to finish in time to take new pictures. Glad I jumped the gun and blogged about it early!! Great job, Darlene and Kelly. And I love Mr. Linky much better than the old way of letting you know we finished something!!
Posted by: Cathi | July 21, 2010 at 06:22 AM
I am so glad that this didn't have to be quilted! I love this pattern and want to move on to do the large version now!!! Thanks for the pattern and the challenge... it was fun! I signed up with Mr. Linky. #29. Like my age... do you hear thunder???LOL

Kelly, I hope this isn't a duplicate post, I keep forgetting to scroll down and put in the code to post my comments (senior moments) Anyway, just truly wanted to thank you for hosting this quilt along. I had way too much fun and I really love the little quilt. Starting another one soon with orphan fabrics in my stash. It is such a great pattern and thank you so much Darlene for letting us use your beautiful pattern. It is fast becoming one of my all time favorites. For all the folks who have posted pictures of their wonderful quilts, thank you to you also. I have had so much fun blog hopping and looking at your wonderful quilts, though I didn't leave comments, I have looked at every single one. I've also picked up some great ideas along the way!!!
Posted by: Nancy | July 22, 2010 at 12:37 PM
I shared a link to my blog even though I still have to do the border.... but I am making good progress and wanted to share :)
(hope that is ok)
Everyone has done a great job!
