Oh yes, Caribbean, Hawaii, Tropics, margarita's, daiquiri's.......on the seashore, shells, crabs, lobsters, who cares just fun. I'm in, how about it Vanogay and Marybeth, nancia, dabbler come one come all....

nancia

i'm sorry. i can't come play..... i'm in time out. i have some of my own stuff i gotta make. i promised i would get some done. i am already in the home dec, and pincushion/ needle case swaps. and that's all i can do. i may have to drop the wallhanging swap, too. but you'll still remember me, won't you? lonely tear from one eye, coursing down the sad wrinkle on the left side of her face, poor, pitiful pearl! sigh..........

I have an awesome hibiscus kit just sitting there waiting to get done - hmmmmmm; when do I have to let you know for certain.

Vanogay

Yeah, when are you wanting to know for certain. I cut out 8 pillowcase dresses today and 5 or 6 little boy shorts to get done to send to Haiti with a medical team going April end. I've already finished 12 dresses. Will start sewing on everything tonight and tomorrow. If you want to help me make dresses and shorts, I'd be happy to pass some patterns on to you, but I'd need them back in 2 weeks. I could possibly do some tropical placemats - no, easier to do a tropical octagon mat - that cuts easy and quilts even easier.

ok so far I hear the following are in for the game:
Elisabrat (duh)
Jaba
Vanogay
Dabbler (possibly)
nancia in spirit only

anyone else? I will wait til Sunday then hand out partners. Dabbler you already have a perfect kit waiting.. come on you have to play now. that is almost like fortune just knocking on your door.. truly could you have anything better? (smoozing her did it work??)

Anastasia: COME PLAY TOO. AT LEAST LET US KNOW YOUR BREATHING I am yelling here.

jaba

Vanogay I would gladly help you, but if you send me patterns and with the USPS service, they would never get there in time. You need to give me a little more heads up okay? But I know you can make a topper. I was experimenting today on large tropical butterflies...think it will pass or I may keep it and start anew! Marybeth where are you???? Brat how long is your turn around time? I'll need to have it done before I leave or bring it with me , inquiring minds want to know, at least tonight.....

Elisabrat

how about May 1st latest? Gives the month of April for those who are a bit slower and still isn't too long of a turn around that anyone can get bored or back out like just start it already! what say everyone to that time frame? three weeks plus a few? its only a table runner not a quilt.. and its fun yes it is its fun!!! hibiscus! butterflies! beach umbrellas? beach balls? waves and sand? crabs!! sunshine and happy flowers? should be fairly easy to hit your little stash and pull something even if you don't have tiki prints you can always use color to signify your destination mat.. too bad nancia this is right up your alley... jump start your summer fun, double your pleasure double your fun! sign up for two!! lol ok ok sign up for one honest I will let you!

jaba

Okay with me, whatever everyone wants to do. Can be a runner or a mat (topper) right?

nancia

i would so love to do this! what the heck, so olivia doesn't get her 2 yr old quilt on time, sign me up, uncle sam!

Elisabrat

Yahoo! Nancia is in! Yes tablerunner and tablemats all good. heck turn it into a wall hanging if you want just nothing larger than a large tablerunner. let everyone determine the size based on the pattern they want to use. COME ON EVERYONE! JUST SAY YES! (hey better than saying no and not fattening at all).
