    Sleepy Hollow, You are a master of PP. Your sheep are adorable. I love your scrappy backgrounds also!

    I am in, I have 4 sets , alpaca, goat, pig, and cat. I will do one more, maybe chicken. These blocks will make a small child's quilt.

    Good afternoon everyone~ I feel like I'm neglecting y'all! I've been so busy as I am sure you are as well. Life happens to us all. I am trying to complete the Nine-patch swap blocks by Wednesday so I can mail by Sat. It's been so hectic.

    I wanted to post a pic of my next block in this swap. It's not stitched down yet but I think you can tell what it is. Say hello to my silly sheep!

    GracefulAnn, your silly sheep are adorable.

    I have been working on hungry little bunnies. They are taking time just to prep them. But, in the end, they are going to be cuties.

    I love the pieced sheep and I'm looking forward to seeing the hungry little bunnies. It's going to be a great swap!

    As an official lurker, these are so cute. My mom was raised on a farm and had a pet sheep. This block is so sweet, I may have to make my mom one. I love looking at all the adorable farm animals. So fun to watch!

    If I end up making my mom a quilt with sheep, this adorable block idea will be featured. Thanks for showing all the fun color options.

    Hello ladies, I just wanted to thank our hostess for letting me hand embroider my blocks.
    I will be spending most of the month of May in San Antonio helping my sister with dad. My dad has Dementia, and recently got diagnosed with kidney failure. I have been going back and forth to see him the past year, I now feel the need to spend more time with him. Embroidering my blocks will make it where I don't have to drop out. Plus I hate idle hands, I get nervous doing nothing.

    I prepped my blocks today, stamped them and cut the border strips. They will be 9 1/2 inches with the borders, all packed and ready to go. I hope everyone is OK with Embroidered blocks.

    Irene C, I think your blocks will make a special addition to our quilts. I love to hand embroider. I know the amount of time and work that will go into your blocks. I would be honored to receive one. And, I think it will be a wonderful peaceful activity while spending time with your dad.

    Thank you Judith1005, dad has been going back and forth from the home to the hospital this will travel well in my little duffle bag. Dad likes to see me do handwork, he says it reminds him of his mom who taught me. Here are my 5 sets each block will have a different border.
