Good morning! Love seeing the chatter here. Feel free to give a little bio of yourself and your quilting if you’d like. It helps everyone to get to know one another a bit better.
Three more packages arrived yesterday. I haven’t yet opened any but I hope to later today.
I’m sitting outside with my cup of coffee. It’s a cool but sunny morning. I’m watching the bluebirds come to the feeders. Momma BB has been sitting on her nest but she came out for a snack. And there’s a hawk looking to make a meal of some critter but it’s not going to be one of “my” birds or chipmunks if I can help it.
Hope all our Zinnia moms have a wonderful Mother’s Day! Hugs to all.

I have made a label on the back with everyone’s name on a ‘ map’ too. I love your idea Ibex.
im in Nebraska with my daughter and her family. The twins are up to 3 lbs and are doing well. The NICU they are in is amazing. They have their own room and they share a nurse with one other baby. DH and I are mostly acting as support staff. Cleaning, laundering occasionally cooking. The family has been inundated with freezer food.
my bonus granddaughter and I are quilting together and I’m leaving a sewing machine here. My bonus grandson and I are going to make an elaborate applique cat next week.
enjoy your Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you Moms, grandmas, great grandmas and great great grandmas! May you all be surrounded in love.
Today I am taking it easy and laying in bed for the most part. With my back out it is limiting what I can do and it is only short times at the computer. So for now this is my computer time. Looking so forward to being a part of this swap!

Happy Mother's Day everyone! We had a fairly low-key day. Enjoyed family game time in the afternoon, a nice walk, and dinner. I worked on getting my basket top put together this evening. I'm getting close to 1/2 way!

When we used to send the blocks directly to each participant, I used to include a "map" that included where each block was made. I found it interesting to find that information, especially when we had some international swappers.
