    I'm glad you are liking your swaps! Hopefully the rest of you will have your packages asap. All were mailed out on Thursday.

    Yes, Gladie (oksewglad) was so sweet to bless us all with extra squares! BONUS! Thank you so much, Gladie!

    I have good news from the craft fair... it went well for me and I sold 4 quilts! Sold some other things as well. It ended up being a HUGE football day with both Mississippi State and Ole Miss playing (and winning!) so the other vendors were saying that was why there weren't more people there. But it was fine for me. It was my best craft fair yet. Hubby and I are both POOPED from it and will maybe take a break from fairs for a few weeks, LOL.

    You are welcome everyone. I'm on a fabric moratorium here and trying to work with scraps. What better way to use up fabric than to PIF. I've received PIF from local quilters--just spreading the "love" around. Have fun with your little bits. As I'm working on 2 BH quilts from my 2" bins, I find I'm creating more 1 1/2 and smaller pieces--so that means I will have to go back and sew on a couple of projects I have using those sizes. Will it never end?

    I received my swap yesterday and am so delighted with all the little squares of fabric. Thank you all for swapping and for the extra squares both Bonnie and oksewglad sent. What nice way to pif.

    What beautiful charms from all of you & the goodies from Sewbis & Oksewglad, wow, you really outdid yourselves!!! I got Farmer's Wife, Civil War Love Letters, & Dear Jane Stickle books for my anniversary & will have to skip swapping for a while so I can clean up my workspace & figure out how to fit in doing one of those using your fabulous charms! Thanks again. Sewbis, girl you ROCK!!!!

    Just got my package today (forgot to get the mail yesterday) !!!!
    Such a wonderful variety of fabrics!! Thank you all for swapping. They are beautiful.

    Sewbizgirl....thank you for hosting the swap and a BIG thanks for the adorable handmade ornament. It will look perfect on my tree!

    I also want to thank 'oksewglad' for her PIF squares. They are very much appreciated.

    Now, I've made myself a cup of coffee and I'm going to go sit and play with my litlle squares. Hope you all have had a great weekend!

    Thanks again, Bonnie - glad to hear everything went well at the fair!

    Hi Everyone, I received my package today and I was blown away!!! Thank You Bonnie for the Christmas ornament. it's sooo cute and I need to show it to my Guild...We do a Gift Holiday Tag for the needy kids in our area and the Tree ornament would be such a great little "extra" with the child's name on it... It will hang on the Christmas Tree until someone picks it & purchases a gift for that child
    Oksewglad, What can I say ..I was all smiles when I saw the "pay it forward" bag...you are so generous!!

    My DH was teasing me..He asked if the baggie with all it's contents was garbage and could he throw it out..I snatched it from his hands so fast.I couldn't believe I could move so fast...

    Now I can play for a few days...Thanks everyone for the great fabrics..can't wait to do it again
