    Yippee for Yellow in January. Red, Thank You so much for hosting! It isn't easy but so worth the effort for all of us.

    In the Birthday Swap this month I'm receiving cards & 50 charms from 31 swappers, wahooooooo! Clear your calendars for the 2018-2019 twelve month commitment, a truly remarkable swap.

    Looking forward to the Churn Dash swap, sign up ends tomorrow. Spring quilt from so many gifted swappers.

    Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Noel, Happy Hannukkah, Happy Holidays, etc. to all y'all color swappers! See you in January. Peace!
    sisterly holiday hugs,
    dj

    Hooray! I've received the red charms today! Thank you! I'll try to leave feedback for you this weekend, but some other things are weighing on my mind presently, so I might get late with that. But thanks to all of you!

    Oh my gosh Givio! I can't even believe what I am seeing! I hope they are all there?

    What a mess the Post Office has been for us lately. Ugh!


    I just noticed your envelope was one of the cardboard type. I wonder if it helps to have the bubble wrap ones?

    Quick question for the group: I placed a request in the “in search of” area…does it go in the requests area instead? My laptop took a dump (*hence the problem with trying to leave feedback, which I promise I will do!), and I lost my embroidery software. I need a label for my son’s Christmas gift (his quilt). Should I place it in the Requests section? Main section?

    It seems whenever I post somewhere it gets moved by Admin. I must not be that bright!!

    Jane, No, I'm all set. Everything was there.

    While I was waiting for the charms to arrive, I sewed some blocks. When cutting my sets of reds, I cut extra for myself. So, I used those reds to start my project. I'm going to make a sampler quilt using cream neutrals. I will be cutting the charms diagonally twice to make 4 triangles with each charm.

    I have the day off of work today because I'm going to the dentist. UGH. I work at a call center, so I take the day--talking tongue in cheek is one thing, but talking Novocaine tongue and cheek is another! lol

    Love your blocks, Givio. Red & white quilts are my favorite!

    Nice blocks, givio. You're ahead of me! I am still working on my quilt with greens and skipped the blues for a later project!
