Ok folks....Sheri is having internet issues, so can't get on here. Yes, very frustrating!
But, she wanted you to know that she is waiting to hear from: Cre8tvlwyr, nurse bonnie, and DDuMouchel. She will then be ready to finish up this fun swap, and get the squishies in the mail!
You can post your comments here, and I will see that she gets the info. If needed, feel free to send me a PM, and I will relay that info as well.

Thanks Mariposa!! Early morning and my internet is working.... I was excited for better internet when we moved here. It's been down more than its been up. (Or seems that way!)

SheriR

I did get yours, THANKS!!!

OOOO..... was having fun with Harriet Hargrave over the weekend and didn't look at my computer ...actually once. I stuck it in the mail today if you want, you can just add it to next time I understand. The envelopes NEVER came! Wish I had simply sent the package ten days ago because that was how long it was all sittin there ready to go

I leave it up to you! I know you're going to do it again and it's fine

First....JEALOUS of working with Harriet Hargrave! We need pictures!!!

Second....I'll wait. I know you've been ready and Im waiting on two others too if they don't contact me or something by the time yours gets here, I'll swap!!!

OK - pictures?? The only picture I personally took of her was with a couple of our owls when we had her over for dinner - I don't know if she necessarily wants it shared - but we will have some pictures of her and her wonderful quilts on our guild website from her lecture last Monday ....OOOO - they're already up - http://conejovalleyquilters.com/2015...arch_2015.html The first quilt was another guild member's show and tell. The next pastel-ish quilt is one of Harriet's daughters. The pictures unfortunately look a bit washed out on my computer - the whole cloth was a beautiful blue radiance and her jacket was a much brighter color as well.
What a wonderfully talented and lovely person - and AMAZING teacher! If you ever have an opportunity to take a class from her - do! I highly recommend her books - all of them!! She is a wealth of information on threads, batting, quilt care, piecing (besides quilting) perfection!

I have the tracking number for the pkg I sent you - but it should arrive Saturday. I mailed from post office and picked up a few of those bags for next time...they said those bags normally go out within 2-3 days but it has been about two weeks! Thanks for waiting

WOW! Thanks, Gus. I was especially drawn to 5, 7, and 10! I want to find my HSTs bits I've been saving and whip up a mini! I need to find a quilt guild!

I'll keep an eye out for your swap package. It's weird you've been waiting that long for the padded envelopes. I ordered three packages of 15 and they came lickity split!!

I've been doing some free motion on two tops a "friend of a friend" wanted done..... Nobody knows how long she's had them, a full size log cabin and a queen size double nine patch. The log cabin was hand pieced! And I'm worried sick the red/white double nine patch will bleed when I'm ready to wash it. I stressed to my friend that my "self taught, LEARNING" free motion skills are NOT pro. But they didn't seem to mind. The lady's sister even quilts. I actually got a snow shot of the log cabin! Was super happy with it. I used a fan ruler and stenciled each row! The Double9Patch I used my walking foot on the patched parts and made a stencil of a square feather to fit the negative areas. Today I need to decide on the border..... Ok. I'm rambling. I must need more sleep.
