    Here is the one I made for Linda, please excuse the messy office, I had my camera at my office and did not want to come all the way home to take a photo since Ilive a wee bit out of town and wanted to mail her's straight away!

    How exciting to watch the quilts starting to come in!

    Love the bold orange and purple-great use of fabrics together.

    The black and white quilt is striking- so crisp looking.

    Enjoy your beautiful quilts ladies.

    best,
    d

    YaHoo - just got a PM from my swap partner. My quilt is on its way from Australia. Can you tell I'm excited about it???Saw a picture of it (back on pg 86, I think) and I think I'll just love it to death. I'm very Americana and the colors are wonderful - and to top it ALL off - it's hand quilted!!!!! I only hand quilt small items so this is going to be very special. I'll be sure to post a picture when it comes.

    Now what to do, I have to finish the binding and label on Tam Moo's quilt, but she already sent me mine. It is in the office as I type leaning against the wall in a box totally sealed up. Do I open it before she gets hers then will I think the one I made her is not good enough and have to redo one or do I wait to open it until I actually mail hers so I cannot change my mind? Oh please, what to do.

    QuilterMomma, do what you need to do in order to finish and mail Tam... Moo's quilt. If you think opening that box is going to put that goal in danger, KEEP IT SHUT! ;-)

    Alternatively, you could just open it! ;-)

    Okay, everyone: I've just emailed all people who have not yet reported being complete or who otherwise have not recently communicated their status.

    I'm not going to send any more nudges after this. You've got two weeks to meet the ship-by deadline. WE KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!

    If anyone needs any help, please feel to post here or contact me privately.

    IF we end up with any more MIAs, we WILL resolve the problem, one way or another.

    I'm committed that NO ONE in this swap be left without a quilt.

    Hugs,
    Jillaine
