Hi everyone:
I am sorry that I have not been on the board for a little while. My brother has cancer and I have been going back and forth to Jacksonville to spend as much time with him as I can and to help out my sister-in-law who is exhausted. This past Sunday September 4th they had to take him to Hospice. I do not want him left alone at all, so I am staying with him in the room all night. We don’t know how long he has but I will be with him as long as it takes. I brought my laptop with me and finally got organized enough to use it. I will check in as much as I can. GOD bless you all!!
Blessings!
Carole

Oh! Carole. My heart goes out to you. I have just one sibling, a brother whom I dearly love. I'm so sorry your brother is so ill. Hugs!!!!
I was picking out my blocks, and now, I find I still have a question. Did we receive a green light to also use different block patterns, too???
That won't cause her a "sorting problem," making certain the 12 coming back to us are all different patterns? I guess... if the fabrics are (will most certainly be) different, it doesn't matter?

Now: We have some people doing embroidery blocks and they might be slightly different.
After thinking about it, I don't have a problem with people sending in 12 blocks that are not all identical.
I don't think any swapper will be harmed by someone making different blocks because they will be getting all differerent blocks back anyway.
If someone has a problem with this addition, please let me know!!!! I just want everyone to have fun doing this swap!!!!
Blessings!
