I hope you all know that if you're ever looking for something, I would be happy to help. |
Blueribbontoes, I'm still in I just haven't had a moment away from my OTHER project...but worked ahead this week so I can play in the sewing room to tomorrow.
***A hostess gift for swaps is common courtesy...one for a swap this large is a must IMHO.*** |
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME??????
WHO STARTED THIS BRT IS LAZY CRAP!!! TELL THEM GRANNY GIGGLEWINGS IS GOING TO GET EM!!! |
I have the first set done, but my laptop and camera just refuse to talk to each other, dh is on the other computer, so I will post pix tomorrow, if I am able to get on HIS computer!!! LOL

Here are my five sets...three sets are done! Yea! The heart blocks still need to be blanket stitched...as for the puple and white block there is only one so far, as it was a bit difficult with all those points, but I will keep working to get five more!
Two extra will be included for blueribbontoes baby! [ATTACH=CONFIG]890[/ATTACH] |
Wilhemina, your blocks are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Wow!

So, please don't bother. I'm not trying to get a "free quilt top." I thought it would be fun for my baby, as I am not able to finish th- no, I am not going to explain myself. Now lets go back to having fun with this swap. How is everyone doing? From me, I want to say Thank You for taking your time (especially knowing you have a little one to care for) to put this exchange together. Sorry about the individual who accused you of being lazy. Time to forgive and move on. Linda |
Wilhemina - those are gorgeous!
|
I'm new to the group and would like to join in also. My one big question is why are we getting one of our own blocks back? With so many sets being done why not get six different ones back? Then if someone wants to keep one for their self they make seven instead of six. Just a thought.
I'll do two sets. |
I must have missed something here, but I don't mind making extras and sending them on ! makes for more practice :wink:
Oh by the way GREAT blocks :mrgreen: |

Now I have to do 5 more sets, before the end of the month......going to visit dd in OKC before she deployes.
|
Those blocks are awesome!
|
Fun2quilt - love your blocks! Have fun with your daughter>>> please tell her that we appreciate her service and courage.
|
fun2quilt - Pretty blocks!
|
Thanks! DD really likes what she does. Right now she is in FL, last winter she was in the caribbean, the rough life.
|
Beautiful blocks....I do have a question....How much fabric do we need to buy for these blocks? Is a FQ enough or should I get 1/2 yard?
|
I made 6 blocks with a fat quarter. :)
|
Awesome...Thank you for the reply. A FQ it is. :0)
|
Just got my 1930's fabric for the swap...Geez..I can't believe my quilt shops in town don't have much of a variety. It was really hard to find what I liked to match. I was bummed because I wanted to the original colors that the pattern called for but I had no luck trying to do that.
|
I thought I had written to say I would like to join this swap; but couldn't find my name on list or my note to you on the list. So, I am sending it again. I would like to do blocks 12 and 14. Thanks.
|
I have just now discovered this block swap, and love it. I collect 1930's fabric. 6 blocks of a choice equal one set. My problem, for what ever reason, I cannot get the block patterns when i go to the site to choose.
|
Well I answered my own question. For what ever reason I had to re install the adobe download so I could get the patterns. I am still thinking on this. I really want to do it, but do I have the time. Woe is me. ha.
|
Count me in for blocks 62, 88, 51, and 45. This should be a blast. This is my first block swap.
|
Marcia a, This is my first block swap also!! How fun.
|
Would someone be available to run this swap for me? Long story, but I think I need to take a break from this board for awhile.
|
I can run this swap..I just don't know exactly what to do. I will wing it unless there is someone else that knows what they are doing that wants to step in.
SO I will monitor this and what not. Thanks. charisma P.S. Sorry that people out there are giving you a hard time. |
PLEASE DIRECT QUESTIONS AND WHATNOT TO RETROGIRL. She will temporally take over this swap. Thank you.
|
Hi All! Hang in there and we'll be good to go in no time.

You know it, Wilhelmina! I can't get enough of these adorable little blocks & am so looking forward to photos of the finished projects! They'll be such a source of inspiration!!
|
ok...so are we still mailing them to BRT? Ordo we need to mail them to retro? Thanks.
|
kysmommy2, we're not mailing for while since sign ups continue through the end of April. Let's hold off until I hear from BRT. I'll let you know the address to mail to as soon as I can.
|
Since we do not all have our locations listed, please PM me if you are NOT in the continental US and have joined this swap. Thank you =)
