Admins and moderators
have been working diligently behind the scenes, in advance of release dates, to
write the tutorials we have been posting to help members be successful in their
endeavor to complete this Gypsy Wife Quilt.
Personally, I have
averaged approximately 2 hours per block… taking into consideration time needed
to choose fabrics, sew blocks, assemble sections, all the while photographing
and documenting work and then writing the tutorials.
With my husband
retired this year we have a busy summer/fall season planned. Unfortunately the section release dates often
coincide with our plans. I may or may
not have access or the ability to post tutorials on release dates because of
those plans. Therefore, I have been working
overtime… early morning and late into the night… to have the tutorials
completed for you. Sue Schulz has agreed
to post them for me in the event that I am unable.
I have been reluctant
to share my work beyond the current section release as I don’t want to
frustrate those who are behind or struggling to keep up. Yet it has been
killing me to hold off sharing as I am excited as I finish each part. I asked
the other admins and moderators and they said I should post and share my hard
work. Think of it as inspiration and a reflection of my commitment to your
success.
I have struggled with flowing the colors down
and across the
quilt. I have limited number of fabrics in certain color ranges and my goal for this one is not to mix each color range up, too

We have divided this
section into three parts… left, center and right. This will enable members to make a few blocks
over the next three months rather than struggle to make all 21 blocks in one
month. Details of our plan will post
when we get closer to our June 1 release date.
This has truly been an
adventure for me and I look forward to seeing everyone’s completed work.
