    978gray and I have an online "date" today. Hopefully mine has reached MA and we can open them at the same time in early afternoon and then post our pics! It's an alternative to the "phone opening".

    Sadejwin: what a beautiful touch with your hand quilting. I might give that a try next time. :-D

    978gray and I just got off Live Chat--she went back to work and now we can post our pics. This was a fun way to open! I've done it over the phone before. I suggest to anyone to try either method phone or live chat. Just adds to the excitement, my package has been on my desk waiting until she got hers. She is a great swapper. Along with my R&W she sent a couple of pretty FQ's
    So here is what I sent 978gray

    I downsized the Turning 20 pattern and added the dove for emphasis.

    Gladie I love how you did your label! Tho I think your quilt is very striking too and love the added touch of the dove. I am wanting to do something more creative with my labels and am on the lookout for good ideas.

    Thanks.
    I can't seem to find the picture I took of it. I will have to check my school camera tomorrow and see if it is not there.
    I know I took a picture of it. DH says maybe you didn't press the button. Thanks for nothing I said. He can be so funny at times grrrrrrrrr.
    So sorry
    Nope not there either. Don't know :oops:

    Thanks Rhonda and Leslie. Rhonda, the label was the first dove I made to put on the front, but it was a too small; made a bigger one for the quilt; and thought why not use if for the label, it was cut and ready to go.
    I just love my little cow--I think she's going to go into my laundry/mud room. The redwork will look great there and she'll have 50 or 60 (I lost count) bovines to be with. Thanks again Susan!
