Hi All...sooooo glad that the grandkids went home today! I can get back to life and sewing. This has been a crazy week, I am hoping they don't have to stay again for awhile, love the visit...but they are 8 and 12 and argue about everything...nerve wrecking.
I believe that Frogquilter has it right about how this works. THANK YOU! I am glad to know that your package is coming UPS, they will take it to the post office and I will have to go pick it up.
KathyN...I have my row finished, but will send my journal during the week, I haven't had time to work on it. I have to cut the sashing also.

You are both right. Each person selected a theme. When you get their quilt to work on you stick with the theme and colors/type of fabric that they requested. Its fun, it expands your stash of fabrics and stretches your abilities with each new quilt to come your way. They are lots of fun!!!

Me too. I'm eager to receive your row and start on my second row.
I think it is too late to order a label from jajudd24 so I will make five signature blocks and send them with my row for you guys to sign them.

I will use jewel tones with a Celtic design on Sweetness's quilt and I will make farm block for Karen's quilt row, so on and so forth.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong....
Karen Mine is coming to you via UPS. I will PM you the tracking info. Hopefully this is just as good as delivery confirmation via USPS but where I work I can use our UPS for a fee but I get to skip the dreaded post office. :) Have a great weekend gals.

For instance...I have Kathy N's and it's 1930's fabric made in star blocks. So I bought 1930's fabrics & will find star blocks to use.

I just get over excited! and I have to drive 120+ round trip to get fabric. Planning is really important.
