I am writing in secret languages now!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: Ok so I just cant type!!

mgshaw 02-02-2009 01:19 PM

Judy has received sets from Sandpat and sewsewquilter today!!!!!

BlueChicken 02-06-2009 01:51 PM

Shhhhh.... Don't tell anyone... I'm working madly at getting 12 blue and white star blocks done.

I figure if I can finish them in the next week, that gives plenty of time to get them posted over to you guys. BUT, no promises! If I don't make it, I'm going to be gutted. Work commitments are massive at the moment, I'm working long hours, so am trying to squeeze in some sewing at night.

It would be so exciting to be involved in this, an international block exchange.

Fingers crossed!

mgshaw 02-06-2009 01:59 PM

Hope you can make it time!!!! :D

Baren*eh*ked_canadian 02-06-2009 02:49 PM

Good God, I hope I can make it on time, I have only 2 blocks done, and my sewing machine broke last weekend!
I'm waiting for the new one to come in tomorrow, and I see myself frantically sewing on Sunday, lol!

mgshaw 02-06-2009 03:32 PM

You can do it Melanie!!!!! I got faith in you!!!!! :D

sandpat 02-06-2009 04:50 PM

You both can do it!! Afterall, you have all month.. :lol: We love it when the swappers are International!

Dawn Hendrix 02-06-2009 05:19 PM

I have 11 more to go..... I wll get them done tomorrow.. NOBODY will be here to distract me!!!

BlueChicken 02-07-2009 01:40 AM

LOL

I don't have a month... I don't trust international mail not to muck around. Gotta get them done and in the post within two weeks. It's going to be tight!

Marcia 02-07-2009 05:38 AM

I FINALLY found a pattern that I like and am going to start mine this weekend!! I always need a looming deadline to get me going. Can you say "procrastination"?!?!?! :shock:

I'm on a roll! I've done two since this morning, so I have three made, nine left. My first one I posted a while back was just a sample, and while it is nice, the fabric wasn't pre-washed and I don't have enough of it to go around, so I can't include it.

Butterflyspain 02-08-2009 11:45 AM

Very very nice, I love those, very different.

Elle

mgshaw 02-08-2009 12:39 PM

They look great!! Keep on rolling!!!!! :D

You are going to think I am awful. Did I sign up for this exchange? I have been away from the boards since mid December. I need to catch up on a different exchange. Now that I see this title, I think I signed up for it too.

I will get them started right away. I hope all my quilting friends can forgive me, I have been dealing with family issues.

The full list is on the first page, in the first post, if you want to make sure, but I'm pretty sure you can join in anytime. :)
