sew4nin- I'll be watching for your package!

Mine should be in the mail tomorrow....I'm such a bad example...

Sheri-- we still love ya! ;)

My squares are in the mail!!!! Wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish this swap. Two weeks ago tomorrow I was washing dishing, in a hurry of course, and shoved my hand into a glass and it broke, making a nice slice across the top of my knuckle . Trip to the ER and 5 stitches later I wasn't able to use my rotary cutter until Thursday. Haven't done dishes for almost two weeks. I think my husband is liking the idea of a dish washer. Any way, my finger is still sore and somewhat stiff and I can only stand to use the rotary cutter for short periods of time. But it will get better.

*dottie, I'm glad you have healed up, and your squares are on their way! :)

I'm so glad you sent your squares out.. I so look forward to all the squares from friends.. and you guys need to get yelled at long distance.. PROCRASTINATION will be tolerated with good excuses!!!!
As for your finger Dottie.. Ouch.. I've seen tons of sutured fingers, and 85% of the time, the laceration is from a glass in the sink.. I haven't done it yet, but will let you join the club!!! Feel better..

Thanks Barri! I have plastic glasses on my list of things I need. I couldn't believe I had cut myself like that and was thankful to find out that I didn't catch any tendons. Until you don't have full use of your pointer finger you have no idea how much you use it and when it is sore how many times you hit it! Even had to switch my mouse to my left hand. But I did sew a bunch of squares together so all was not lost! Ha Ha And I did not have to wash dishes! LOL

Evie,
I have that in mind, too.. It scares me to think of all the squares I have. I wonder how many quilts I can make. I still have to finish a project with four of the same quilts involved. It's a QAYG, and I still have to put them all together.. I also have a play mat that has to be finished before the baby gets too old for it.. Ughhh

Thanks for confirming what I have known all along - washing dishes is bad for you:D

Hi everyone
My squares will be postal tomorrow via priority mail. Sorry for the delay but hubby's aunt passed away and I could not get to the po.
Rhonda can you pm me your addy again please?
Hugs
April
Ps I have 26 sets on there way.

* Packages are still a-coming in the mail! :) What fun!

April--no worries. So sorry for your loss. Big hugs!

What patterns are you all planning to use these baby squares for? I really want to do a scrappy Irish Chain, probably triple.

What FUN!

Hugs,
Amy in KY

I have no set pattern in mind but I do need 10,000 different squares so I can make my 100 x 100 quilt :)
Hugs
April

Hi Mariposa, just wondering if you received my stamps? :eek:

Twisted Q-- yes, I have :)

Twisted... I was sure getting nervous about the thought of not including your squares!!!!

Funny, funny! :p

*Most squares are swapped! Just waiting for replies from folks regarding the extras- :)

I have not been on the board in a couple days. Did miss a post that I should have replied to?

*sew4nin- you are fine. :)

OMG, I just realized that I have a 1.5" swap and a 2.5" swap package coming...Christmas in February! :D

Merry Christmas! :D

i wonder if twisted quilter forgot she is also in a fabric scraps swap...

I can't wait! how exciting!

** Packages have flown the coop! ** :)

Whoa.. I am so excited..
Thanks Mariposa..

It will be Christmas for me, too. 1.5" ps, 2.5" candy and a mug rug (hopefully) will be home this week. OMGosh, what do I do with myself?? whoo hoo!!

I'm starting to scare myself.. I am pretty disciplined, and won't touch my squares until I finish the projects I have going ...

You are sooooo right! I totally forgot about the scrap swap. Thanks for the reminder. :D

I am looking forward to getting my squares Yippie, I love to play with the small pieces of fabric and see how cool they look sewn back together again! You know the part that all your non quilting friends thing is CRAZY! Well I have even some quilting friends who think I am crazy because I like the small pieces! But that is ok they give me their scraps!

Mary I wanna be just like you! Oh wait... I am... CRAZY! I can't wait to get my little stamps. :D

It is Christmas for me today. It's hard to beat a day where I go out and have TWO batches of squares waiting for me.
Thank you, Mariposa!
