Elisabrat 08-05-2013 06:22 PM

oh such cute snowmen! I received a block from terriamn today that is not my fabric. this is a black Christmas fabric with green holly leaves, ornaments gold metallic to it.. it was made with white fabric. My fabric was some Christmas with angels and deer, some red with birds and mailboxs Christmas, some others were brown with yellow and lime green accents either flowers or birds.. so this is truly not mine! if its yours let me know I can send it forward to you no troubles. if you get mine.. well youuuu whoooo here I am!

Gaijin 08-05-2013 09:45 PM

Update: Received f8's from AnneMixon, ArizonaKat, goldendog55, missgigglewings, Terriamn, and travelinggramma.

I received this beautiful block. I love it. Thank you. I think it is from elsabrat. No name on it but the return address was Cody, Wy.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]428606[/ATTACH]
I spent 4 days in Cody, 2 years ago, waiting for the road to Yellowstone to be cleared of a snow avalanche. It gave us a couple of extra days to check out the area. I loved it there. We visited a lot of great places and met many wonderful people. I hope to get back that way someday.

Elisabrat 08-06-2013 04:26 AM

That was from me, I thought my name was clearly on the envelope! yikes! glad you like it. Two more fabrics arrived so a busy tomorrow for me. clinic today so limited sewing I think ..

ArizonaKAT 08-06-2013 06:22 AM

Can you post a pic of the fabric? This could be one of mine. I sent out a lot of different Christmas fabric and honestly don't remember what I sent until I see the fabric. This boom really is like Christmas. I sent out a bunch of different fabric and it's always a surprise when I open the ones coming back!

I have received all fabrics, except from happylab. (Maybe, we should start a dog name group!) I have received blocks from elizabrat (I sent one to you today), and nanakathy. I'll take pictures after I get my memory card back from a friend's computer.

terriamn 08-06-2013 03:34 PM

I sent Elizabrats block to the wrong address. If anyone receives a block with cute Christmas reindeer will you please let me know thanks.

Hi HappyLab, I am glad you posted this. Your F8 is the only one I am missing. I love batiks and have tons of batik charm squares. Will be watching for yours to come.

hugs, Jupiter

Jupiter 08-06-2013 04:30 PM

I think St Pat is winning!! Glad you like!

ArizonaKAT 08-07-2013 06:33 AM

I'd like to tell you that's true but Thanksgiving is ahead with St. Pat close behind. Christmas has taken over 3rd place and Patriotic and Easter are tied for last.

Hello, fellow swappers. I have sent out all of my f8's. So in the next week, everyone should recieve them in the mail.
Next week I wil start working on making the adult blocks for everyone in this group. One side note, I forgot to mention in my little note in the f8 envelopes, please don't use the color white either. Bye for now and Happy sewing!

I also received a block from Arizona KAT that is beautiful. Thank You.[ATTACH=CONFIG]429163[/ATTACH]

I can't wait to get them all and see the finished quilt.

benndm 08-08-2013 06:49 PM

Just checking. I sent finished blocks out and have not seen any comments that you have received them. Perhaps I missed them. I just want to make sure they are not lost.
Blocks sent out 7-22 to Alikat110, Gaijin, ljdugas, & NanaKathy55.
Blocks sent out 8-1 to AnneMixon, goldendog55, & missgigglewings.

Thanks

Elisabrat 08-09-2013 04:13 AM

Gaijin, hey girl you sure are quiet! I hope life is treating all of you well and that your blocks are arriving finally. I know last time you had so many who did not send to you so crossing fingers you receive them all this time! this group is really on top of things so I doubt you will have any troubles at all.

I love the blocks that I have received and after clinic will take a new updated group shot to share how lovely they are all and how great I think they will work together. I know I sent some pretty interesting lol fabric but combined its turning out pretty cool its a quilt for my son in law to be and I think they will like the earthy browns, the 'cool' green that is in the fabric (they are both in their early 20's) and the touch of yellow is just enough to liven it up. not too much which is why I requested just the browns or the green. I am going to thin frame them with cream then add another frame with the green in it .. Asa will love it. :) even if its weird fabric.. thanks Travelinggramma for mentioning it lol.. yeah its weird. I agree but it was a whopping 3.00 a yard and its quality fabric and the colors were what I bought it for not the pattern. phew!

frenchfryqueen 08-09-2013 12:49 PM

Those who have mastered paperpiecing have my utmost respect. That mug is an AWESOME block.

Gaijin 08-09-2013 03:03 PM

Hey Elisabrat! Talk about good timing! I received your block last night and it is lovely! It came with a small bonus pieced block, leftover fabric, and a postcard from your new home!

Thank you so much! Haven't had much time to be on here, work is busy this time of year!

behndm, I think I posted way back that I received your block-it was actually the very first one I got!
Thank you, it is beautiful!

yes I can do PP - but ask me to cut a squares & triangles and piece them together and have them come out the size it says - I have great difficulty with that! So that is one reason I love all of your blocks - cause I can't do it!!

benndm 08-09-2013 04:26 PM

Gaijin - Thanks I must have missed it. I just worry about the PO gremlins attacking.

NEW PHOTOS plus a note for BENNDM
 
I just posted photos in my 2 albums..... The blocks I have received are making a fabulous showing in:
Received from Others for ACYONE and CELAENO
http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums18469.html

Plus the Blocks I have sent or am getting ready to send are dancing through this album:
Made by Jupiter for ALCYONE and CELAENO
http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums18468.html

I am having so much fun playing in the fabric! I am loving all the beautiful blocks that are coming home to me. Thank you all so much for doing this swap.

Special note to Benndm: The first block I made for you ended up being 12" X 12". I goofed somewhere in my numbers. So, I made a second block, which is 12.5" X 12.5"... but I didn't have enough fabric to make it as a revised version of the first block. So, I am sending them both to you. Maybe the smaller block can be on the back of the quilt somewhere, or perhaps made into a throw pillow to go with the quilt.

Its 3am.... maybe I should go to bed?!?!?!?

hugs Jupiter

Elisabrat 08-14-2013 02:06 AM

Jupiter you are not alone. I have done things like that but I am sure there will be a spot for that block maybe a corner piece.. your right a pillow.. dresser mat.. something :) we are really speeding along this group and for that I thank you. This gives me time to make an actual Christmas gift out of the blocks I have received. They are all beautiful and my stack is getting so big I believe I have 12 blocks now in the brown green yellow fabric for this group and another 13 for my other group granted I did a few side swaps but I am super pleased with you all. THanK YOU!
