After a friend's retirement party today, I stopped at Joann's to check the price on Kona. It's not on sale, which means you can use that 50% off coupon! Price with coupon is $4.50/yd. It also gave me a chance to compare the white, prepared for dyeing, snow and bone. If they'd had an unopened one, I would have taken it, but they did not; I got just under 8 yards of the white - so am all ready for the next round!

Audrey, no problem at all. I was wondering how you could get any sewing done (non-wedding I mean) with the wedding prep going on. It can be quite consuming. Hope the family stress level hasn't gotten too high! Have a beautiful wedding and we will look for you next time.

peaceandjoy, thank you for the head's up on the Kona at JoAnn's. I'd say you were ready for many more rounds with 8 yds!
MaudeFlannagan, yay! Six bags to swap! Look forward to seeing them. This time everyone's blocks are going to be a surprise to me, because I didn't open them as they came in, like last time.
aborning, getting that wedding done was quite an accomplishment! When my daughter got married I did so much work. Everything! Then at the very last minute she also wanted me to make the gifts for the bridesmaids-- cosmetics travel organizers! I said no to that.
Glad the wedding went well and was beautiful. Great memories.

aborning, Congratulations on your newest family member! :-)
peaceandjoy, Are your 8 yards of the 'snow'? Any time the price is under $5 for new fabric, then I think it's a good deal.
D.Henson, I'm excited to see what I'll get too! I've decided on the setting I'll do with this swap's blocks. The thing is, I'm worried I'll drop everything and start sewing that top when I get my package in the mail. But! I don't want my last 9patch swap top to change from a WIP to a UFO. I want to keep working on it-- but quilting is not nearly so fun as sewing for me, so... well... we'll see what happens. :-p

My blocks are done and packaged up! They will be in the mail tomorrow.
Here is a peek -- I hope you like whimsical cause I didn't realize til I was done that most of my blocks have "cute" elements in them.
I'm really looking forward to the exchange - -I think I know what layout I want to do as well!
