My partner, the fabulous rfbrazell told me right off the bat he was going to make me two blocks so I decided to match his good graces and make 2 for him- he wanted my choice. Then he said he was going to make me three special embroidered blocks, from what I hear he makes amazing embroidery. Bless his heart, he said the 3 embroidered blocks are red, white and black, red for my fire service career, the white and black for fire. And if that wasn't enough, as we chatted back and forth he learned I love antiques and Victorian design and snowmen so he is planning on sending me some blocks with vintage snowmen. He is a wonderful person, I have loved chatting back and forth. I feel very fortunate to have him as a swap partner. I sent my blocks to him yesterday, I'm just hoping he is pleased with what I made. I am waiting anxiously for his blocks to come and will definitely post pictures when I receive them. I just wanted to thank Robert "publicly"!
