I have quite a few project that were in various stages of completion when I lost my vision and as I get them photographed, I would love to find stitchers interested in finishing them. I will post then in the next couple weeks (or so) This is a small one but some are very large.
This was a round robin but a traditional 12" block... The theme was "spiders". I liked the block when it came home but always felt it could be extra special with some fine tuning, so it has been languishing in my UFO basket for years. This should be a relative quick and fun project... I will include some insect charms and some lace bits.
I love the somber colors Maybe more olive-green lace added more spider webs. There are many cool spiders there already. I can see this framed out with spiders on the border... more gold also. I have to pin this to a board and think about it. Just leave a comment as to why you'd like this block and I will let my husband choose

Hi Lovey! I am really sorry to hear you have lost your vision - an artists nightmare. I have always prayed take anything, but leave me my hands and my eyes. There is a jokester out there who answered by giving me chronic pain that stole my inspiration. Life is no place for sissies, is it?
Hugs,

yes yes yes ...any tiny piece of your stitching would be so welcome in my home...I am Mary Beard and you and I were in a round robin together on CQI...You stitched a peacock on my block and added one of your painted buttons...it is a true treasure. I would be happy to pay shipping to receive this or any one at all from your selections. my email is snowtx@aol.com = Mary Beard in Austin TX - let me know (3711 Capistrano Trail Austin TX 78739)..thanks thanks!!
That is awesome! I would love to be able to add my stitches to your block. I'm not sure what to make it into. A pillow was the first thing I thought of but I think I would love it as a wall hanging to "class up" my quilting studio. I'm so sorry you are no longer able to stitch. I lost a lot of my vision due to a hereditary eye condition and was no longer able to see enough to thread a needle. I finally got up the nerve to have double cornea transplants and can now sew and drive again. Wish I had done it soon! Didn't mean to write a book😹 Hope things get better.

Hi Gerry, maybe you remember me. We met at the quilters retreat in Connecticut several years ago and you graciously agreed to paint my grandson’s picture on a button for me. Anyway, I read your blog and I’m always pleased to see that you’ve posted. I would love to have one of your blocks because I love your work and because it would be a perfect place to add that button with my grandsons picture. It’s been hanging on my bulletin board waiting for the right place. Thanks for your generous offer. Warmest regards, Marilyn Lynch
Hi Gerry!
I would love to complete the block for you but I am not commenting to be put in the lotto (I would not be able to commit to it any time soon, and I don’t think that’d be right). I just wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed your blog and all you’ve shared and that I am deeply sorry health has gotten in the way of you being able to stitch like you use to. I hope you are doing ok and enjoying the adventure to find new ways to express yourself!
Hi NuMom. I'd love to have one of your blocks to finish. I've been watching your blog and I admire your spirit with all you've been going through!!

I would be happy to help you finish projects if you have some you would like to keep for yourself.
I would love anything you cared to send me! I have loved seeing everything you have been up to. Whenever I run over a piece of fabric gleaned from your marvelous barn, I remember a lovely day spent pawing through your bins!
