Karen I received a beautiful block from you. I loved it, as I told you when I posted the picture. You did a great job.

This is my first and last swap. This has been a very busy summer with some prior quilting committments. I knew that I would not be able to get my blocks done until close to the last minute, which I said at the very beginning. I'm very disappointed to have this swap turn out like this.

I have no problem with blocks not showing up by the deadline. I am pleased with all that I have received. I do hope that the blocks I sent out were liked. I have a stack finished, ready to mail. I have one block that is almost completed and will be mailed tomorrow with the others. I will be finished this evening with all the blocks.
I have been quilting for 28 years. I would call that seasoned. With each project or just a block I always learn something new. Sometimes there is a mistake and the seams don't match exactly. I expect that. Not ever single point is exact.
In almost all of the blocks I made were made with 4/5 fabrics and not basic patterns. I put a lot of pride in my work and I feel that it is good. It isn't perfect..nothing in this world is perfect, only God's Love.

Did any one else have this situation,I got the fabric looked at and said,oh my goodness,what could I possible have to match this?Then I start looking in my stash and lo and behold eureka! something matches,and when did I buy that?I have to look to my stash more often,there is a lot of stuff folded and tucked away.LOL

LOL, Materialgrl..
One of the 8ths that I received kept getting pushed to the bottom of the pile. I was rummaging through my stash and I found 6 different pieces to match. Whew..I need to look more often also.

Materialgrl and Janet (MOM) you both do a great job! I'd be happy as a pig in mud to swap with either of you any day of the week! ;) Hugs to you both.

I have to add that I love all of the blocks that I have received so far. Each one is different and that's what will make Lucas' quilt so special. Wish I had sent the siggie blocks too. ;)
