I was all set today to do some serious sewing on this, DH had gone out this morning so after a friend called I settled down and got the top finished. I was going to sandwich after lunch but DH came back with DD and the littlies so no more sewing for me!!!!!!!!!Grrrrrrr, much as I love them we've had them everyday this week.

Oh, do send photos@Lowena! Mine is nothing special either: very simple, made to give a child a little fun, but no prize winner. It will be good to see them all together. The competition is just for fun. :D

Indeed not @Ploshkin  I'm not entering the competition so she doesn't need my pictures. I entered to be part of a project and for my own pleasure / satisfaction, not to be judged  ;)  I haven't decided whether I'm posting the quilt to @Iminei or taking it with me ( depends how big a case I want to lug around  -< ) The top is finished but that's as far as I've got, so....we'll see. I have an urgent cushion to do ( today's task if I ever get off here  :| )  before I can complete quilty  :)

Right I'm putting a stop to this negativity.

We don't JUDGE Lowena;
we post pics in the Darkside because we are proud of our creations and want to show them off.

We are running this 'competition' to give a lil something back to you girls who are giving these beautiful quilts away to ill children, to get inspiration for ourselves, to try and inspire others and for the FUN of it!!!

You are as accomplished as any Darksider; your cushion cover was just beautiful, I would have been chuffed to bits to have received it and Im sure Ella loves it.

Im happy to transport your quilt Lowena as I have a ginormous suitcase to take up, and will probably be there on the Wednesday evening now, as Imself is working at the mo, so cant get me to Brum in the morning.

So to conclude, we do need pics of your quilt Lowena, join in and have fun with your friends!

For the photos, is it now just front, back and one detail that can be submitted?

The back of my quilt doesn't photograph very well from the distance required to get the full quilt in shot. Would it be OK just to have part of the backing in shot?

Absolutely, maybe a shot of the binding which shows the backing as well SIT,
or some corner porn that features the backing ?

I will be taking a group pic of all the quilts that make it here before the show as well; I'm really inspired that you girls have given up your time, effort, skill and fabric to make something to give away, even for a very good cause that is awe inspiring!

After FOQ we can get back to normal and host our next challenge.

BTW ... Are there any BOMer's out there with one for August???
