she wore a beautiful yellow bow that co-ordinated with my bouhket, and went well with her silver and taupe coat. quite festive, yet understated.

*chuckle* I bet she was a lovely sight! My mom put together a wedding for 300 people in one month and had my dress and the bridesmaid dresses made and she would have had a fit if I had a dog in my wedding! LOL she has a fit now that according to her my house smells like a dog. well a dog lives here! LOL

i have no idea what my house smells like. we took out all carpeting on the first floor since monkey doesn't understand that rugs are not indoor grass. she is sweet, but has no elevator to the top floors, if you catch my drift! we think it's possible she has no upper floors. this morning i woke up to scratching at the door. very unusual as the pets have their own door to the back yard. i opened the door and there's monkey. the fence is down in the back yard once again. grumph!!! we need a new fence and a yard service to prepare the yard for it, one company wants us to take out both sheds. not happening! if one company can put in the fence with the sheds there, you would think the other company could, too. guess i walk the girls today tii their daddy gets home and we fix the fence.

Sent my wall hanging out yesterday................ hope the person receiving likes it.

Mine will probably go out Monday, due to my dad's rehabilitation right now from knee surgery.

I finally got to post a picture of my wall hanging which is on its way to USA. This was my first time making a wall hanging and quilting it myself. I really enjoyed it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]399360[/ATTACH]

Quiltaddiction, that is a very beautiful wall hanging. I love the colors, the pattern, and nice quilting. I will be putting my wall hanging sandwich together tomorrow, do the quilting, and off it goes Lord Willing, Monday. Our mail doesn't run on Saturdays now. Our local post office is open only 2 hours per day now due to cut backs.

Quiltaddiction that is a wonderful wall hanging! I can do stid but not much more than that. and I've been quilting for 30 years. but I'm a miniaturist and I can get away with not quilting the little things. LOL

This is really nice. Love the pattern! You did a very nice job.

Mine is posted and is going over the pond......sadly it will probably not arrive for ten days or so......can't wait to get mine.

mine will go out tomorrow, too. it has taken much longer to make than i anticipated, and once again, i am not as accurate as i thought. live and learn!

Mine is going out in the morning also. I hate that the PO is closed on
Sat now, that is just so hard getting everything done on Friday!

Mine goes out tomorrow. Would have had it out tomorrow, but I decided to get extra fancy with my quilting, and it took longer than expected. :o

I had a wonderful package arrive today from Skaduzy . A fabulous wall quilt I love it! I will get a photo posted in the next day or two. Thank you Rhonda for a great swap theme it has been fabuolous. Thank you Skaduzy for a beautiful gift.

You are very welcome. I had fun in this swap.

I am working ferociously to get mine finished, and out today before the post office closes. :eek:

I was going to post a peek but darn camera is dead and the charger is in California! GRRRR I am going to go buy a disposible one, I have been having way to many camera issues lately! I found the old camera and it also has a dead battery, but it is a special battery with a special charger, the new one has a special battery that can charge right from the computer but I can't find the cord! I am laughing at myself today, beats crying any time~

hello all , I am working as fast as I can, i am on the outer border now, and I am so sorry, lots of hand work on this and we had some snow issues, like no power, so i should be finished with mine by tonight, and have it in the mail tomorow, it will be going proity mail, and a tracker and i will let miss rhonda know that i am so working hard on this and trying to get all finished up,oh oh i did forget , i iwll show a sneek peak, later on this afternoon,

My Wall Hanging Came today!
 

A cute little Spring time wall hanging by hearthush. Love the colors. Won't even try to post a pic as I never seem to have much luck it that area. Thanks too D. hearthush & Rhonda it has been fun. Hope the one I mailed on the 28th will be to the liking of the recipient.

hi ladies i had a change of pace and got inpired to do something totally different and i took a pic of the middle a bit ago so here is the middle but now im putting the outer border and hanginers on, so that part will be a pruprise so this is a sneak peak of the middle, hope the reciever likes it

lovngrandma that is very pretty. Mine will be tomorrow. It's same as finished, but I am having a lupus flare, so I just stopped before ever going to the post office, and instead went to bed. I think it was brought on by all the stress from my dear dad having a knee replacement, and all of us doing what we can. He is 80. My dear husband has also been sick with strep throat. I hope I don't get it. I will also be sending priority mail with a tracking number. This is my first time of being late with a swap, but also my first time of so much going on with our dad since mom died last March. This has been a wonderful swap, and I want to thank Rhonda for such a nice swap, and all her help. She is a wonderful swap host. All of you are great too.

sounds like me! Not long ago the battery in my new cell phone went dead I thought. I couldn't find the charger (dH usually had it but he gave it to me to keep!) and the extra cell phone didn't have a battery and it takes a diff battery from my new one. I finally came across the charger and fixed my cell phone. I thought I was going to have to buya new battery because it wouldnt' take a charge but then it came on all by itself and was fine. go figure! It was off for a week or more!

thank you JuneBillie and all who have said such kind words in my direction. I appreciate all of you or there wouldn't be a swap! this has been the most popular swap I've done so far. I really love all the chit chat that goes on here. You have all done such a wonderful job!

I am still working on mine. Still hand quilting. This is a better week for me. No late nights other than tomorrow, don't work Sat either and I work 1/2 day on Wed. I plan to be postal by the end of the week. So sorry that I am behind.

Mine went in the mail today and is on the way. Hope I did this right since it's my first time.

Gah!!! I TOTALLY forgot to take a picture of mine before I sent it!!! (d'Oh!!!) I hope my swap partner can snap some good pics to send me for my album. :D

Here is a partial picture of my wall hanging. It will be sent out today.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]399868[/ATTACH]The egg picture is hand embroidered with some beads here and there.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]399870[/ATTACH]A few more of the small blocks that are all part of my secret flower garden. It looks a little more wrinkled than it is, because my husband is trying to hold it up. I have a full sleeve sewn by hand on the back.

I'm finishing up mine but have lots of other obligations today, so it may be tomorrow or the next day before it goes out. I've been in contact with receiver and she has been so understanding ... I really appreciate that! I didn't like the first one I made so I'm redoing it ... and it's going so much better. Experience is a wonderful thing!

JuneBillie ... beautiful wall hanging! beautiful colors!

Thank you MaryMo.

Looks intriguing! Waiting to see how it turns out!!

Mine has been sent, and should arrive in a couple of days.

I received the coolest wallhanging calendar holder and it has a pencil slot for note writing :) and then there were suprises too! a kleenex holder a tea bag holder chocolates (hiding them now) and a cute pattern oh wait and some pretty note paper and envelopes. its is Christmas???? I think so :) thank you so much!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]400042[/ATTACH] oh dear I think it was Scrapper who sent me these.. if not please stand up and take a bow I loved it all.

DebJ I am so happy that you received your wall hanging. I enjoyed making it. IT took forever to figure out what to make then it was easy to do. Glad you like it.

Love seeing these wall hangings arrive at their destinations!! Keep up hte pictures. I would like to have a pic of each one.

Beautiful calendar wall hanging, and goodies.

snapped a quick pik, then off to the p.o. ran into major headaches with machine, binding and body. but it's as good as it gets now! it is headed south of me, honey chile!

Elisabrat - Sooooo glad you like your wall hanging and little gifts. It's had to send someone a gift when you really don't know their likes and dis-likes. Enjoy.

brat likes EVERYTHING! and everybody! and so do i, but she's louder and quicker and she gets there first. i'm HERTZ, i try harder. brat eats all the candy and goodies. i'd make her a cupcake pincushion but i'm afraid she'll eat it and get hurt. we are going to get into trouble later. i'm waiting to see what brat does first!! <3, me

ScrapQuilter that gives me ideas for improving my billfolds when I make them! I like the embroidery stitch along the pockets in the tea caddy? I've always just used a straight stitch. I really like the look of hte emb stitch

A calendar wall hanging how creative!
