Carsey, Yes, I did get your f8. It just seems to have rained squishies in the last 3 days. I am doing both swaps, so I will be receiving 70 fabrics, and I just haven't had time to list them all yet. Sorry!

the other thing is for those who don't mind I'd love to have you send a small siggi block along with the finished blocks.
I think something very simple would be nice. I've also asked the other group to do the same. Here's what I'm thinking:
Siggi Block:
Something very simple, I think! How about 3 strips sewn together. Strip # 1 (medium to dark solid or print) cut 2" x 4 1/2"
Strip # 2 light color cut 21/2" x 4 1/2"
Strip # 3 (medium to dark solid or print) cut 2" x 4 1/2"
I've never done a tute before. Do you need one for this...very simple
3 strips or bars sewn together.
I'd be so happy if you all want to do this, but if not, it'll be ok.
I will send one out with all of my finished blocks!

Sew all three together in that order , write your info with permanent fabric pen (pigma pens work well)

I'll send them out with the blocks I finish as well! What do you think?

Good morning Besties buddies on 1/14/11 I received F8s from Lillie and buddy'smom.
I sent F8's out on 1/15/11 to everyone on the list.
For those of you in both of the swaps my intentions were to send you one of each of my two fabrics (I'm using the same two for both swaps) but my DD and DGD decided they needed to help me and they already had labels on envelopes and had fabric in them and sealed from both lists so I have no idea who got what so you may get the same fabric twice. I hope this is okay, I am going to make two quilts from these two swaps so you can even make the same block twice if you want to.
April I hope today finds you feeling lots better.
