Thanks Deb and all the swappers. I was worried I couldn't get the blocks in on time due to the delays caused by the weather here and the Memorial Day mail holiday.

Deb- enjoy your vacation ;) ;) ;)

I am packing for Shipshewanna :!: :!: :!:

Yes, I have found that the quilters who have been in the past three swaps with me (we are becoming quite a little groupie) are a very generous, considerate gathering of quilters. I do thank all of you for your flexibility.

Yes he did. I took him up on his offer of cutting out my fall plate leaves. I sent him the fabric and he cut them and is returning them to me. It will be great not to have to cut them out.

I won't have to miss any of you, the laptop is coming along with me. I now have to get a bunch of hand sewing ready to take alone with me. I want to start my sashiko, but I just cant figure out how to transfer the patterns onto the fabric. I tried the transfer paper, but that didn't work well. I have Susan Briscoe's book and want to do the sashiko block pictured there.

Hey Deb,
Which book of Susan Birscoe do you have: The Ultimate Sashiko Sourcebook or
Japanese Sashiko Inspirations: 25 Ways To Explore A Traditional Technique? When I was active with EGA I took several classes in Japanese Embroidery. I love laying each of the stitches in silk thread. It was amazing to me how laying the same thread in a different way changed the texture of the pattern. Although it is very time consuming it is absolutely gorgeous when it is completed.

Deb I am so sorry for not getting back to you This has been my busiest week all year with graduation and all anything you decide is fine with me Have fun and is it to late to sign up for fall plates

Deb watkins

You can sign up for the fall blocks. I have extended the absolute deadline to Saturday July 9th. I will be back on the 10 and will swap and mail out on Tuesday. I will put you on the fall roster. I have posted a pic that Robert graciously allowed me to put on as the sample.
