Excited!
 
I am waiting for mine to come in from my partner. She just contacted me that she is ready to send so I am like a little kid waiting anxiously. My partner has dropped few if any hints so this will be a BIG surprise. You will hear my screams when the quilt is here.

I received this gorgeous angel quilt from the Mamahauser and from Cindy our grand host. Its stunning, its so me, and it was an absolute surprise. I had let both of them know its ok let someone who needs it more get it and yet they did it for me inspite of me! Its so stunning I am hoping one of them can post a picture for you to see. I didn't deserve it yet love it so very much and its now gracing my bed. My hubby said which closet should I put it in. I looked him like he was nuts and said its for USING not saving! so on the bed it went. I am again one of the very lucky ones. You are a wonderful group of ladies. I hope ana that you get a chance to post your pictures of your received quilt also!

Anna's quilt is finally on its way. I sent her a PM with the tracking information and although it won't make it for Christmas, it will be there soon after. As long as it gets there undamaged I'll be very happy since it had to go into a lage 20" x 30" box and fragile stickers don't always help. A little background here. I don't do piecing although I do put on a border so the entire thing is machine applique. I also don't do quilting so Anna will quilt her top (I did send material for binding and a wide back). This is Anna's quilt she also pieced and quilted two small quilts which are incorporated and we both worked on it, close to 50/50. Before anyone asks there is no one pattern for it, it consists of many pieces from many places: trees, fields, chicken, rooster, horse etc. I apologize for the extra time it took and hope it is all worth it to Anna. This has certainly been a unique experience in many ways thanks to all.

Debbie you sure know how to keep some one in suspense. From the hints you are dropping I just know I will love it as we are in agriculture. For you folks also in this swap Debbie had many things happen this year from helping a friend in need that had no one else to getting of all things Lime disease and she still managed to do the swap. I appreciate that very much. thank you for being my partner Debbie. More to come when the applique top is here.

Her profile shows as last date 10-13-2014 04:57 PM. I am a bit worried too. Has any one been in contact with her?

Yosamitesa 12-24-2014 06:56 PM

I'm here. Work has about killed me this year. I go to work, pick up lil one, eat dinner, put kid to bed and then I go to bed and cry. It's been a rough year. Grandma I will get your quilt in the mail just after New Years.

Quilty hugs and merry Christmas.

Here are pictures of the wonderful quilt and "quilt" painting, made with fabric, I received from applique. I must say I was speechless when I received the box. See for yourself. Thank you applique.

Absolutely amazing!

Celeste 01-08-2015 09:36 PM

Stunning!,

oldcatlady 01-09-2015 07:23 AM

That is gorgeous! You're so blessed. :)

Rodney 01-12-2015 11:06 AM

It's been a long time since I stopped in on this thread. I'm glad I decided to today.
Wow! Applique that is some amazing work and TheMamaHauser the quilt you helped make for Elizabrat is just stunning! You all have done some very incredible work.

Well, after 5 months I finally heard that my quilt was received so I will post some pictures of the quilt I made. I'm done. No more swaps for me.

TwinRiverFarm 02-14-2015 03:40 PM

Oldcatlady, that is just beautiful! Definitely the best use of the panel and fabric line that I have seen. I am sad that this swap has not been repeated for 2015, but I totally understand the frustrations and disappointments that missed deadlines cause, especially when most swappers will follow through. Don't give up on all swaps please, they can be so much fun and quilters are such wonderful people!

jaba 02-14-2015 05:34 PM

It's is beautiful! I feel bad your partner didn't let you know and thank you for it. I was so looking forward to doing this again. I had fun making one for Dabbler and I loved the one she made for me.

You made a stunning quilt Old Cat Lady. I love everything about it! I am so sorry to hear it took so long to hear the quilt was received.

Mine was late being finished (my bad) but I stayed in touch. Some times quilters don't understand their strengths and weaknesses which need to be considered when signing up and learn the hard way. The quilt you made Old Cat Lady is beautiful!
