I will get is washed and ready to go out this week. I'm a lil scared to that I won't be able to get the blocks done as quickly as needed. I did figure that if I have 4 months then if I did one every 3 1/2 days I am fine. :) Thanks for letting me join in the fun.
Hugs,
Mom
Can't wait to get my fabric all ready to ship out. Going to try and do that tonight or tomorrow night.
Hugs

The smallest is about an inch high and the biggest is a water pitcher. I am beginning to realize why they meant so much to her...it was like this swap..she made friends everywhere! She kept a list and I was given the pitchers a couple of years ago along with the list of who sent them. They had been boxed up since 1966 and it meant so much to go thru them and "remember" for her. SOOOOO this just isnt a quilt swap..its a friendship maker! Just think of what you might get from anywhere in the world!! Plus a lifetime of memories!!
So ladies, it isn't JUST about quilting! It's a wonderful way to meet some incredible people - & have experiences you'll remember for a lifetime! *see above :) *

Hey, April, as far as I am concerned, no biggie if group 3 only has 35 -- it is still a 7 block by 5 block quilt. (I assume I will be in group 3 because I added my name after group 2 filled up.)

I am SO looking forward to this swap. It was a spur of the moment decision and I have no idea what fabric I will send. I just knew I had to decide fast before it closed.
I don't recognize anyone. I am Lynne, live northest of Houston, quilting for 25 years. DH & 17 yr old son with me. Life is good.
Thanks April for giving me the green light.

I will go ahead and do the third swap as well. I then am in for two of them. I am going to have to really look at my stash to see what fun fabric is lingering out there to swap with. I do know that Buggy Barn in Readon, WA is having their usual Saturday sale on fat 8ths so may just make it simple on myself and pick up 36 of them for this second swap, maybe their $4.00 bolt sale is on and will make up my own. Hmmmmmm. Now for a fun question. several people are using the "DH", is that for darn husband? darling husband? or dead husband? Ya just have to let me know.

Other D words may be substituted at will ;) & you can usually tell by the rest of the message if another word is intended! :lol: :lol:
