I know we aren't quite finished with the inaugural round, but we do need to get the schedule set for Round 2. If you are participating in Round 2 (so far it is Zonnah, Anne, Rebecca, Lisa, Gretchen, Tina and me) please choose which month you would like us to make your blocks*. Just leave a comment on this post. If a huge issue comes up where two ladies want the same month, I am sure we can work it out.
Monthly Schedule (check back for updates)
July ~ Rebecca
August ~ Tina
September ~ Lisa
October ~ Anne
November ~ Gretchen
December ~ Zonnah
January 2011 ~ Adrienne
*Rebecca and Anne suggested keeping Round 2 smaller but make two blocks each. I didn't see any objections, so for Round 2 we can either make 2 blocks for the month or put a little extra into one block such as embellishments, more intricate patterns or extra large blocks, etc. We'll make it the fabric sender's choice. =]

Welcome! Welcome!
Yea! We are finally ready to get going and I can't be more excited.
I just sent an e-mail to all the members, so if you didn't get it, check the spam folder then let me know if you still don't see it.
Following is the block schedule and a little intro for everyone. I feel like this is a "new to the area" mixer and I should give a little conversation starter during intros:
June ~ Adrienne This is me, hey. I am in the midst of a zigzag play quilt and a whirlygiggle something.
July ~ Chen is working on a mess of 9 patches and whipping up some great pillows using Mendocino fabrics, which I love.
August ~ Zonnah is working on the Dear Jane quilt. Her hand applique blocks look fabulous. I love that she includes pictures of the backs.
September ~ Lisa just submitted a killer dress to the American Sewing Guild competition. So original. She also has great money saving tips while still stocking up on necessary sewing stuff.
October ~ Nichole posts great photo tutorials and other must-have info on her blog. So helpful in so many ways.
November ~ Gretchen just made a new dog bed for Stuart. I think he likes it, too.
January ~ Robin is working on four quilts including a Dear Jane, Playtime, Mod-Quilt Sampler and a coin quilt.
February ~ Kris recently returned from her sister's wedding and has been challenged to cut up but preserve her sister's (and mother's) wedding gown. She's looking for ideas, if you have any. Kris also created the banner and button for this blog. Thanks, Kris!
March ~ Tina has donated super cute owl themed bedding for her daughter's art program fund raiser.
April ~ Heather is finishing three, count them three, graduation quilts for loved ones. Her spring magic quilt has recently been completed and makes me want to take it on a picnic.
May ~ Rebecca has a vintage giveaway in progress right now. She's slimming down her fabrics and notions while increasing a lucky winner's.
June 2010 ~ Anne recently created a laptop cozy for her daughter complete with a funky elephant applique. I'm jealous.
One little request. When posting anything please try to use the labels I've started. They are pretty simple: first name-month. I think they should come up when you type in the first few letters of the first name. If we can keep the labeling concise I think it will be easier later. Thanks!
Please feel free to tell more about yourself in a post. Let me know if you have any questions. I will be sending out fabric and instructions in a few weeks. Yea!

Snip.Sew.Send. The newest Virtual Quilting Bee
I am starting a new virtual quilting bee called Snip.Sew.Send. It will run similarly to other quilting bees such as Common Threads, Sew Connected and Block Party.
Here is the low down:
Each month one member will purchase and mail fabrics to the other members. They will make a quilt block with those fabrics according to the sender's instructions. We'll have several weeks to complete the block and mail it back by the end of the month so she can complete the quilt. All the members will be invited to author on this blog so everyone can still enjoy the whole quilt making process.
After all 12 member have committed, I'll assign months by drawing names randomly, unless someone has a special request. I would like to have everything organized to begin by sending the first fabrics at the beginning of June.
The bee will run from June 2009 through the end of June 2010. I think we should skip December due to all the holidays,travelling and gifting crunch.
I am in the process of inviting quilters to join the bee. Check back in the next few days and watch the sidebar for a list of all the members!
Love and sunshine,
Adrienne =]
