I know I said it before, but being last does have some advantages. You can share your photographs of what your received. The rest of us can't do that because we might spoil the fun and surprises for later birthday swappers. But what fun to see your little packages and all of the little extras that make each package special and unique.

Looks like just three more to go if our lists are coordinated.

I finished another quilt using 2.5's today. Well, all except the label because I don't know who is going to be the recipient of this sweet little things made from stash and selected miscellaneous 2.5s. I did have to buy a backing but only one yard.

The pattern is from Lori Holt, one of her Sew Your Own Stash tutorials: Criss-Crosed Stars Lori Holt Criss-Cross Stars The finished quilt is 39 square and used a whopping 128. 2.5s for the star legs.

It seems my candies haven’t arrived. I mailed 12/5. I don’t know what happened to them. I’ll mail another on Monday.

Kele, let's see if they have arrived. Reba may be holding on to post a final list. Reba? Have you gotten the last birthday envelopes?

Sorry all I’ve been sewing a memorial quilt in memory of my friend who passed in August. She was the recipient of the Halloween boomerang quilt. I have been a little late in getting all my candies posted. Here is the completed top :/) quilting is therapy for sure. merry Christmas all!
