m-fay, coming to and from Australia takes a wee bit of time and I for one don't mind the waiting game. The seasons are changing. Spring is in the air.

jaba 04-02-2017 04:57 AM

Received my name, did a little profile snooping and she had it filled out.....yahoo!!! Makes it so much easier! Will put it in the mail tomorrow.

Belfrybat 04-02-2017 08:43 AM

Received the name for the table runner. I'll add a few goodies and hopefully mail tomorrow.

lawsonmugs 04-02-2017 01:12 PM

I got my partners name too. Going to try for tomorrows mail also.

Northern Sue 04-02-2017 04:54 PM

This is the first time I've put a label on anything I have made; I usually try to make quilts etc in such a way that the back can be used an alternate, so what do you do with the labels then?

Northern Sue 04-02-2017 04:58 PM

Hmmm .... I kind of like option 1, 2 & 6! But I'm game for anything! I'm hoping the next runner swap will keep me on track and committed to getting the project done, as I'm having a knee replacement May 8th. Might have to rig my sewing machine up in front of the couch! lol

m-fay 04-02-2017 08:29 PM

I,m not sure what you mean in options 4,5 & 7 but option 1 looks good to me.

Northern Sue 04-03-2017 08:16 AM

Ok my spring runner is rolled up in a ball, sealed tight & in the mail! Just got home from post office, and there on the tabl, is the notecard that was supposed to be inside! Grrrr! That's the 2nd time I've done that! Silver moment! Lol so, to my swap buddy, my message says:" hope you enjoy this! Had fun making it!".

lawsonmugs 04-03-2017 08:47 AM

I like 1-5-7. What about something old time from when things were simpler or before cellphones and such. Maybe 1950's or sometime earlier. I was a child of the 1950's and things were way different and easier. Maybe pick some color combos and themes from then. Just another idea. There are some fun fabrics from then out there.

jaba 04-03-2017 09:32 AM

I'm game for anything, all of them sound great! Mailed my runner today and it should be delivered Wednesday they say???? Sent my PM to Carolyn. We're getting the house here in Florida ready to shut down for the summer, one last fishing trip on Wednesday and then head home to Wyoming on Friday. Don't look forward to that 3 day drive, my backside hates to sit that long:)

QuilterMomma 04-03-2017 10:06 AM

I like the summer wildlife choice.

Mailed my runner off this am. This way I won't forget and be a last minute person. Maybe she will get it before anyone else. It does have a ways to go so maybe a good thing I mailed already.

ljdugas31 04-03-2017 10:58 AM

Mailed out my tablerunner today!

m-fay 04-04-2017 02:55 AM

I mailed mine off at 9 am this morning and I have tracking.

m-fay 04-04-2017 03:53 PM

No I havent got tracking. I asked for tracking but the new lady at the PO showed me the ID No to track the parcel but she should have sent it on a higher rate.So its going economy which may be air or sea which means it could be a Loooong time getting there. Lucky I made 2. I will post the other one off as soon as I can.

Belfrybat 04-04-2017 04:27 PM

I mailed the table runner today.
I really don't have a preference for a theme for the next swap. Since I am on a fabric moratorium, my participating will depend on whether I have the fabric or not. With over 1200 yards of the stuff, I should have something that will match whatever is chosen.

Northern Sue 04-04-2017 04:33 PM

No need to send a second one! Your swap partner will understand I'm sure! I didn't get tracking either - would have been almost $60 to send! yikes!

ljdugas31 04-05-2017 08:53 AM

I got my beautiful tablerunner from Jaba!!! Thank you so much. can you post a pic? Just love it!

QuilterMomma 04-05-2017 10:08 AM

Mine is out for delivery it says.

Beautiful fabrics in that runner.

lawsonmugs 04-05-2017 01:00 PM

Ooohh that's really pretty.

Northern Sue 04-05-2017 04:26 PM

beautiful runner!

ljdugas, so glad you liked the runner. This is the quicks pic I took of it so will post this. We are leaving tomorrow early afternoon and will be on the road until Monday. I'll check in when we get to Wyoming.[ATTACH=CONFIG]571082[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]571083[/ATTACH]

m-fay 04-05-2017 09:07 PM

Wow both those runners are beautiful and a lot of work went into them.

ube quilting 04-06-2017 07:41 AM

they are both wonderful. I love making all those blocks they are made from, the SIAS , HSTs and 4P.

I have mailed my runner finally. There was some trouble with the packaging and I had to go back to the PO twice till it was right. The waiting game begins.

Some arrive so fast, wow.

marietta 04-07-2017 12:06 AM

What beautiful runners!
Hopefully I will be able to join the next swap.

I hope so to marietta.

I received a wonderful runner and special little gifts from Oksewnsew. I fell in love with the fabric when I first saw it earlier in the swap. I have always wanted to make this pattern and now I don't have too!:D Well I still want to even more now. What is it called, I forget?

Here comes the show

The goodies that came with the pretty runner. The picture frame still needs a picture. I have to find the perfect one for it.
That pin cushion is so cute.

Thank you so much Oksewnsew. You made me happy.
peace

Oksewnsew 04-07-2017 12:59 PM

Oh so glad you like it and it made you happy. :) It's called Triangle Frenzy Swirl. It really looks pretty with your Hobnail pieces. I enjoyed making it, now to make me one..lol Have a great weekend..

Jean

lovethemgreys 04-07-2017 01:43 PM

I mailed my runner yesterday. Supposed to take 3 days, so be on the lookout! I will be late in posting the receipt of the runner I receive as I am travelling to our Colorado home next week so I had it sent there, for fear it would not arrive to my Texas home in time!

Beutiful pics of runners everyone!!!

Kim

m-fay 04-08-2017 12:52 AM

Oksewnsew that runner is just soooo beautiful. Someone mentioned triangle frenzies (which I'd never heard of) so I googled it and found that pattern & more. I have ordered some suitable fabric and will give it a go. Have we decided on a theme yet?

Northern Sue 04-08-2017 06:43 AM

beautiful runners! I love making the triangle frenzy pattern too - sometimes hard to find the "just right" border fabric. But what the heck, always a good reason to check out what's new in fabric store! :)

Oksewnsew 04-08-2017 07:45 AM

Thanks for the compliments, ladies. I have a piece of 'sewing themed' border fabric that I laid out, think I'll make one to put on my old treadle machine. Have found a bunch of other border pieces in my stash, so could make all kinds..lolo

QuilterMomma 04-10-2017 11:54 AM

My package says delivered Wednesday April 5, but she has not said she got it. I am concerned now.

QuilterMomma 04-10-2017 11:55 AM

Those are very pretty runners ladies. Wow, love the frenzy topper. It looks so lovely.
That runner is a neat setting Jaba.

Belfrybat 04-10-2017 12:06 PM

Nothing here yet, so QuilterMomma's didn't come to me. I do like the table runners posted so far.

lawsonmugs 04-10-2017 01:00 PM

I would first like to apologize for for not mailing my runner out yet. I have had it made and ready for 2 months at least. Been having bad dizzy spells for about 5 days and not able to drive to P.O. . I am gonna try tomorrow to mail it. Hope my partner is patient with me. Second. I received such a very cute runner today from Kim ( love them greys) It is so spring/summer looking. I got out the camera and took one picture and the batteries died. So they are charging. I will post a photo later. Mary

m-fay 04-10-2017 03:36 PM

I dont mind waiting lawsonmugs. and can anyone tell me if I need a pattern to cut out a frenzie, or just a just a 60 degree ruler thanks

Northern Sue 04-11-2017 06:25 AM

there is an actual pattern for the triangle frenzy. I've made 3 of them now & I still use the cutting instructions carefully each time! I bought my pattern in my LQS; but try googling free patterns for triangle frenzy; it's really the cutting/positioning that is key to the success of the pattern. Good luck!

This is the picture of my cute as can be runner Kim (lovethemgreys) made and sent to me. I took a better picture that also shows the really cute little zipper big and nail emeryboard she also sent. For some reason I'm having lots of computer troubles today. ( again.) I will try again later ,I need to go to town soon. But I wanted at least post this picture. :thumbup::o
