Hi Nancy. As you may notice, I have just joined myquiltplace.  I saw your name on it, and remembered buying 4 embroidered blocks in Galway, Ireland a couple of years ago.  Would they be your work? They were being sold to raise funds for a charity.

I just expected they were embroidered by someone in Ireland, but am quite excited and hopeful that they have travelled much further than that.  I haven't done anything with them yet, but plan to include them in a quilt.....one day.  Waiting with bated breath for your reply.

hi again nancy...just wondering how you are feeling now about the mystery quilt. i too am following, tho not member of group...didn't want to confuse things by signing up and not contributing. not a fan of modern quilt movement, in that it is not my preferred style. i do admire some of the quilts i have seen in online websites of modern quilt movement groups. do you think that you may go ahead and do this one later. i am saving the weekly pattern thingys too.

also, i see i neglected to post the link with the notes fr the aqs re: the letter everyone is discussing...sorry here it is

http://myquiltplace.com/forum/topics/aqs-invite-email

there are several responses to sue (who started this discussion) responses to remarks from others in this discussion forum, from a American Quilters Society person.

oh...& mine aren't ready for jurying yet either...now beth, sue (who started the discussion the link takes you too...) and several others here, that i can't remember names of right now, they are definitely juried class quilters. and they aren't pro...don't sell on websites...a couple do..but mostly they are just people enjoying this form of creative needlework like you & i.

need to go right now but i will go find it later..i think it was posted in iether the mystery group or the ufo group...it was the day the email came out and ...oh! bet that's where it is...

here...go down and read the comments...there are three from the aqs.

have a good one...

hi nancy, just read comment you posted on the "mystery" group page (have been following along, looks like fun ..there will be some very interesting quilts come out of it), anyway the comment you made about those of us here at mqp who have "connected". i had had similar thoughts. also, as far as "trolling" our pages, they stated already that the indiviual that sent out the emails had gone to a bunch, and probably all with a team to help, the gallery photos we as members have posted here looking at quilts and deciding who would recieve invites. they also said that not everyone on site recieved invite. so...whatever...

btw...hi! :)) ..looked at your art work, beautiful. hope you are enjoying our little club here at mqp.

Welcome Nancy to BOM...post pics of those blocks!!

Happy birthday, Nancy~I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
