I'm home!!! Just went through a pile of mail and boy it was exciting! I got a note card from my college roomie and 7 items from our Boomerangs!! I received 4 completed, very pretty blocks for my quilt. Thank you babeyruth, hoppyfrog, jillnjo and marytoddliz!!!! I'll post pictures of the finished blocks tomorrow as I'm still doing laundry from our trip. I also received 3 very pretty F8's to make from quiltin' gran, dungeonquilter, and deltadawn! I'll be sending off a completed block to babeyruth in the next few days as well as others, as I finish sewing them.

I can't seem to take pictures because I have to resize them? And I don't know how to do that-are any of you having similar problems? I notice their are so few photos being sent in. So, it will be awhile before I can share again, if ever
. But, I can still sew blocks!! I have 6 more and plan on working on them next week.

jillnjo if you have photo editing software on your computer such as picasa you can resize photos. whatever software you use to view pics on your computer may have editing capabilties attached to it. you will just need to save your pic by another name after editing if you dont want the original pic changed. i keep all of my "changed" photos in a different folder just for this board.
also in another swap that i am in, one of the participates posted the below notice to assist with resizing photos. i haven't used it because i use picasa or hp software to edit my photos. the participates on that thread who have tried the software in the below attached message said that it is easy to use and works great. good luck.

There is a download you can get that will make resizing your

since it came out for Windows XP).
It is really easy to use. After you download and install all
you have to do is RIGHT click on a picture and select the
"Resize Pictures" you will get a pop up window that will let
you select from one of THREE options OR you can even do
a custom resize. You can even select if you want it to resize
the original picture or make a resized copy.
Here is the LINK for downloading the program. ONLY download
IF you have Windows Vista or 7. If you are still using Windows XP
you will need to get the older version.
Here is the link for the XP version of the picture resizer
Good luck and I HOPE this may help some (or all) of you who
seem to be having troubles with resizing.
I would like to know if this helps anyone.

This beautiful block was made for me by ona7. I just love how the red fabric sparkles, it gives it a festive look. Thanks

This one came from sewhappy30. She embroidered around it and the effect is that you are looking into the depth of the picture. I just love fussycutting. Thanks

This one was made for me by Jillnjo. I love the star within the star and then the square looking down the center of a pointsettia. Real nice. Thanks.
