Those blocks were from the first swap I participated in as a newbie to piecing by machine and new to this board as well. I think it was in either 2010 or 2011.

oh I love that kitty one!!! it was so cool and then she took the simpliest of all blocks a square in a square and quilted inside it was it a dragonfly or the lotus? so cool it was like it was meant to be that one. wow she did a bang up job on that quilt. I am hoping everyone here can come up with something just as cool. The endless possibilities. I swear you all have to go check that quilt out and see what can be its inspiration to sign up for all the blocks you can do!

I think it is appropriate to spend a moment in thought and prayer if you do this for those in Oaklahoma who have been faced with the current tornados and devisation that has hit. We who are still safe in our homes, our things where we left them, a roof over our head need to in my thoughts look around you and say a moment of thanks. I am fortunate to have a roof a home a place to sleep tonight. Sikesjj is in Oaklahoma and so far no word from her. Please wish her good things and pray she is ok. She is a wondeful quilting sister to all and has little ones.. I hope all is well for her and again am thankful for what I have.

Yes! ~*~*~*~Happy Birthday Tracibug!~*~*~*~

I think we must all be quilting away. I know I was last night. I was tempted to linger on the computer but pushed on and quilted. I did pick out some patterns to possibly use in this swap. We can't all be as fast as you Elisabrat, who is actually sewing blocks already.

Thank you, ladies... I wish I had exciting birthday news to report but the day was uneventful, which is a good thing lately.

My carpool buddy did buy me a morning cup of tea, my boss brought in my requested chocolate cake with cherry filling (DEEEE-LISH!) and I had a quick dinner with my husband, sons and a houseguest before heading to see my chinese doctor for more acupuncture.

And this weekend I will sew...
