in a very uplifting manner..

TABLE QUILTS

An
APRIL BLOG HOP?

will be:
What can YOU create using
this FRAME for your very own
Table Quilt.?
BlOG hop will be called....
ready for this...
"I HEART THIS..."

anything your HEART desires that will
fit onto this 12x 14 screen.. or a 6 x 12.

78 Your COMMENTS here, uplift me.:
Love the block and the screen! I am up for the challenge and loved being part of the Ghastlie Blog hop. Sign me up for sure!
Yes!! Please sign me up too!
I am such a dork!! I was so excited I forgot to mention how much I love your "Joe to the World"!!!
I just received my order from Ackfeld Wire and one of the items was the table frame. Yes, oh yes!!
Hmm. Interesting idea. Considering. Will I have time? Must percolate a little before I decide.
Sign me up! I've always wanted to make one of these and would love the chance to be part of a blog hop.
Hmmm, it's tempting,...
I'm very interested. BUT I've never done a blog hop before. Being my anxious self I have a few questions.....Do you have to create a tutorial for the project or just the project pictured with commentary on your blog? Does it matter if you don't currently have a zillion people following your blog? My blog is a mish-mash of different topics not always quilting and I have never tried photographing and documenting a tutorial. Do you sense my anxieties? If I don't participate, I may make one anyway because I love the idea and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE seeing what other people are doing. Does all of this make sense?
I love this idea. The same as soren2go above. I've never done a blog hop before, would be good to know some of the details like she asked.
I've never seen these table stands before but have just googled and found this identical one on sale in the uk so no need to pay shipping. Also found a few others that look really exciting!!
Would love to participate!!
Oh yes, Madame Samm, I am up for the challenge! I will start dreaming of table screens and hope a creative angel hops on my shoulder to help me out. Your "Joe to the World" is so sweet...and perfectly pieced and stamped, I must say!
Thank you for always inspiring us to step up to a new challenge.
I'd love to! Gotta get me one of those stands! No percolation needed - please add my name to the list!
Please count me in!
Yes please! I would love to be a part of this! Your paper-pieced "Joe to the World" is sweet
I *love* your 'Joe to the World' piece! What fun!! I'm thinking...I'd like to...I'll be back with a definite!!! :)
Judy C in NC is on board - We are just doing One project each, aren't we? I may have one already picked out. Thanks for thinking of us - JC
I've never done a blog hop and since I missed out on the Ghastlie hopping, I'm in on this one!
Me! Me! By February my Heart will be so very happy ... I will just have to share the love :) :) Please count me in!!! Hugs to you!
Just wanted to tell you I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE your Joe to the World coffee pot!! It is too cute :)
Oh... so adorable - what a great idea! I think you've got the "Java Jive" Mrs. Samm!
Yes, yes, can I play too??
I'm in! These are so super cute!
Jennifer :)
Sign me up. Feb's weather is so unpredictable so
to learn to do paper pieceng will be wonderful to do in the comfort of my own home!!!Thank you!
Oh Yea Madame Samm! I am in on this one. It is very helpful you are doing it way after Christmas time. ;)
Jen
hahaha...I see that! Love your joe pot and fabric choices! Crowning you princess if paper piecing. Very fun stamping you did too! I'm thinking I'd like to join the challenge blog hop....will have to see if I can find a frame.
Oh Yes!! I sew want to participate!
I love your pot of Joe, you truly have mastered paper piecing!
If ordering the stand means I'm in then I am officially "in" for the blog hop. I assume I watch here for any further details. Let the ideas begin........I can feel them circulating in my brain already.
Coffee pot is super. Stand is really cute too. Fun blog hop idea! I'll cheer you on!
Love the Joe to the World. I look forward to the works of "heart".

Sign me up. I think this size project is perfect! I have wanted to participate in a blog hop. I'll start percolating on ideas. Any "rules" other than size?
I would love to join in, sign me up! Thanks for the fun opportunity Madame Samm. That stand is too sweet!
Oh, but YOU have already done Coffee!! What in the world is out there other than coffee!! LOL
Of course, all you have to do is ask. I'm in and I promise to follow the rules!! :-)
Well, aren't you just going to town with all those paper piecing beauties? Awesome, just awesome and the binding on that mini is sooooo me too! Only thing is that I'm not a coffee drinker. (Nice stamping too dearie! Annie will be proud! I bet she's smiling right now!)
I have no desire to do paper piecing...not my thing. I look forward to the hop & being inspired!
Count me in...I've got a few ideas and maybe I'll even try the paper piecing...you definitely keep us inspired...thanks bunches...(o:
Oh - what the heck! Add me to the list! I'll be in Florida by then - so maybe it'll be something to WARM the heart!! I'm thinking everyone needs to make 12 - one for each month! lol OH and one for birthdays, too!! Uh oh - my mind is going into overdrive!! Love the percolator!!
I really wanted to do the Ghastlie one but there was too much going on. This timing is do-able, so, please, count me in!
I am in I love the wire from Ackfeld give me a date this time it won't be a wip
Lol. I just ordered a table frame for $16 from connecting threads so its good timing on that...hmmm I think I just might sign up! I may have to prepare it and get the post ready a head of time just in case my baby girl comes early, but I am up to the challenge! so count me in!
Perfect! I would love to participate in this.
Thank you for all you do!
Blessings,
Darlene
Your table top quilt is adorable - love that you used the Joe to the World coffee pot theme.
I'd love to make one , I love hearts :-)
I'd love to do it. It sounds like a lot of fun.
This is so outside my norm that I guess I have to join in. Thanks for the opportunity. Selina
That stand is so cute, Samm. It will be perfect in my quilting room with my black curtain rods. I have to get one too. I can't remember when was the last time I did paperpiecing, a small quilt will be good practice.
I've been making these little quilts for my friends for the past year. I can't wait to make one for this swap!
Your comments don't work on weekends, right? But I'd love to send the quilter a card...I've even got two kinds of quilt-themed Christmas cards available. Send me her address, please!
Sounds like fun --- sign me up! Love the idea of calling it a table quilt! I already have an idea! Perfect for a Blog Hop!
I think I might be up for this! I already have an idea!
Sign me up! ... February is PERFECT! It's my birthday... month, rather.
I'm so in. I already know what I'm going to do!
Hi there Madame Samm - count me in on this one - it will be fun, fun, fun :)
OH YEA!! I am seriously in for this!!! And I know exactly what I am doing!
My Ackfield table frame arrived! SEW cute! I've had their little sewing machine spool rack on my studio wall for several years. ♥ it!
Hi Samm,
I would love to be a part of the fun. Those frames are too cute and who can resist a mini quilt?
Love your Joe to the World... and Yes! Please count me in Madame Samm! This will be such fun.
I'm already signed up and April works for me because I will be on a trip in April so the actual project will have to be done before April. Oh how I love deadlines!
Sounds like fun, please count me in! Marking my calendar for April....
Love your "Joe to the World". Maybe all that caffeine explains why you're like the energizer bunny? ;o) lol
Yes please! I would love to participate :-)
Congrats on the courses - very exciting!
I was in for February, but April works for me. I have the frame--now I just have to think of what to make to hang on it. :O)
I was in before and I am still in now. This just gives me more time to complete the design that is floating around in my head. Thanks for the update. Sorry I didn't see it sooner, but it's been a busy week. HA!
I guess you know about that.
Thanks for responding to me Samm. :) I would still love to be part of this bloghop in April. The Ghastlies one was so fun that I would love do another bloghop with you.
Happy Studying. :)
Jen
April works much better for me! So count me in!

Hi Madame Samm - I've been offline since christmas so have just discovered you're going back to school - oooh - brave girl indeed :) I've got my mini quilts designed and updated my stash with a bunch of red so hope that I can still do red - even if it is now April - and now I've got time to order some of those frames - so I'm definately still interested and with that extra time I'll be well organised (and this gives me time to make sure I have Jane's wonky house blocks done - yay) thanks Madame Samm :)
I wish you the very best in your digital design course. I'm sure you will give it your all. I know what it is like to try and balance a bit of everything. Remember it's important to take those coffee breaks. ;0)
Yes, April is perfect! Hope you're having a blast learning :-)
Oh I will have to sit this one out. April is my mom's 80 birthday and my 5 siblings and I are hosting a formal ball for her. Yep! A real tuxedo and ball gown affair! She never went to a prom or other formal dance and her wedding dress was nice but not formal in any way. She always wanted to have a fancy dress-up occasion and to "waltz the night away", so that's what we're gonna do! That will make March and April a mad whirl of down-to-the-wire activity, so sewing and blogging will be hit-or-miss for awhile. Have fun everyone!
Me??? Did you get me??? Why Knot let this ol girl hop along??? Lol lol lol. Hugs to you and please count me in :)
just went to sign up again and notice that the old sign up posts are already here - how do you do that - you are sooo clever:) and btw - even though its being held in april now I'm still sticking with my original plan that I had for february - I'm way too excited with it to change :)
Already have my "frame" - brought it to Florida with me! Sew - sign me up!! How do I put your background music on fabric - with the birdies tweeting away?! Love it!!
Already signed up for Feb and have the frame and this new deadline of April will just give me more time to plan. These are quite addictive, I've already done 4!! Thanks Madame Samm!
Love your little quiltie! It is just PERFECT for you and the stamping on it......AWESOME!
Hope I'm not too late...must have missed this update. (If I'm already on the list, please excuse.) I'd like to be a part of the fun!
Wow, the response is great! I'll be so excited to see everyone's projects. I'm in!!! I've been quieting blogging, and ready for the challenge. This will be fun!
Sounds like a blast! Please please may I join too :)
April is great! Gives me more time to create! First things first and you get those lessons taken care of... We will be waiting with frame and quiltie in hand. :)
I love your "Joe to the World" so much! Any chance there is a pattern out there you could steer me to? I'm thinking how great it would be for Christmas presents! Especially with the screen!
