Easy to do with the number of swappers in the swap !! Any way, Hope who ever got a pen liked them. They had Australian designs on them.
Cheers, Jodie.

I received one of the pens too. I didn't know who sent it along and glad you mentioned it. Thank you....I enjoy twirling it around to look at the different little pictures on it.

Here I go again--trying to post a picture. Wish me luck.

I think I did it!

Here is the top I made using all the FQs I received in the swap. I added 1 piece of fabric I'd bought in the Bahamas years ago and a piece of the corn I sent to represent Illinois. I used the pattern "Ashley's Journey" from "Piece of Pie second edition" byPie Plate Patterns. I cut a 10" piece from each fabric and will use the rest of the FQ in various other projects.

I wanted a quilt for myself incorporating all the fabrics I received. The backing will be fabric my brother & SIL brought back for me from American Samoa. I'm still thinking about how I want to arrange the labels on the back. I'm working on the quilting now & will post pictures when it is finished.

Wow,Gramajo! You made quick work of that! Congratulations and now you'll always have the quilt as a memory of this great swap!

Hi Jodie -

I received one of your pens and love it. I forgot to mention it because as soon as I opened my squishie it went directly into my purse so no one could abscond with it. People have noticed it everytime I've brought it out to use :) I love that it's refillable, so I expect to have it until I've worn all the printing off and it's so old the cap has cracked and the duck tape has given up on the barrel :D Thank you for such a wonderful item to remember my first fabric swap by!

Hugs

Thankyou Jodie- - I absolutley love it and my first fabric swap as well. Very kind and thoughtful of you-no-one else is allowed to touch it!!:)
