Hi, Well I didn't receive any F8's yesterday's mail but I got one today from Rosebud. I mailed all my F8's out yesterday (10-4). Everybody I think got a different piece of material. I' just going to make a very scrappy quilt when I get my blocks back so do whatever you think is good with the material.
I have decided that since I didn't want to mess up your material while making the blocks I thought I would make a block for myself using Halloween material (why I didn't send that I don't know I changed my mind about what to send at least 3 times if not more). I figure this way I can practice making the block before usng your material. I'll take pictures of both quilts when I finish them next year after the swap is finished.

You will never be sorry you did, it is such a rewarding feeling!
Mary; you are doing a very nice thing by making those keepsake quilts for others. I have bits and pieces of my mothers wedding dress and my dad's suit, some of us children's baby outfits, dad's shirts,ect. I keep thinking I ought to make a small memory quilt for my Mom( and ultimately ME). She will be 90 Oct. 28 and lives alone. She taught me to sew and quilt. I am so blessed!

Today I met with a new customer, one I met through this site. I am so excited to be making 4 memory lap quilts for a wonderful sweet lady who lost her mother this year. For Christmas she is having me make a keepsake quilt for each of her siblings, I will have a busy holiday season, and that is wonderful! It is really a wonderful thing to give someone a little comfort.
It got cold here in SoCal today, fall is really in the air, I just hope the snow stays away for a little longer!

April, prayers being said for you. I suffer from migraines and I just could not imagine the ordeal you must be going through. May you be surrounded by angels!

You are moving right along!
