My friend works in a LQS and she swears she can tell how nice someone is by the fabric they buy! I am off to mark my calender for Jan. 1 so I won't forget. This is going to be fun :!: :D

A F4 is 18 x 22. Even a piece 18 x 11 would be enough for one 12.5 inch block and would save everyone half the cost of the fabric.
What does everyone else think?

Hurrah for F8's!! Shwwoooo- I can afford 4.5 yards of fabric, I wanted to get quilt store fabric, and 9 yareds was out of my budget. Hurrah! I can't wait for this swap! I'm visiting family in Des Moines and I'm hoping to get some beautiful fabric while out and about with this swap in mind. I'm excited!(I'm a stay at home mommy- no income, so I have to watch what I spend.)

how are thr roads in Des Moines? I'm in northeast IA we didn't as much snow, more rain. I'm not sure what we will find when we get back to WI.

The high ways are pretty clear, the city streets are snow covered. It isn't nearly as bad as everyone told me it would be. I'm a WI girl, too, and we got tons of rain. It helped get rid of some of the snow- thank goodness for diligent show plow men and women- they mad a helluva difference while everything was slushy. I hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation and have a safe drive home!
