Ahwu, Happy Birthday!

WMUTeach 04-03-2021 04:10 PM

Yikes, I missed a birthday. Happy Belated, ahwu. I hope your day was perfect! Really I do!

ahwu 04-03-2021 05:46 PM

Thank you all for all the wonderful Birthday wishes.
I got woken up by my 5yrs old very early in the morning to tell me "Happy Birthday! Mommy" That was super sweet. Her daddy cooked nice crabs for dinner. I talked to some friends on the phone and via zoom. Overall, it was a very nice relaxation day.

We will be continuing celebrating Birthday month since my baby girl's birthday is at the end of the month.

I received packages from:
WendyMcD
barbarakilber23
aborning
Gaijin
Traveling Gramma
ibex94 (the package is also split, but everything is in there)
Macy Baby
Irish Mom

NZquilter
Sewbizgirl
Loveofquilts

Kele
HAV4BOYS
Patrick's mom

Yum! Yum! Yum!


WMUTeach 04-04-2021 03:02 AM

Thank you for the list, ahwu. Our lists match. I am disappointed that some have not yet arrived, including mine. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wave.gif. Maybe the postal service is out helping the bunny deliver eggs and chocolate treats. Wishing all a Happy Easter and lovely celebrations with family.

sewbizgirl 04-04-2021 05:38 AM

Happy Easter!

Hello BD swappers! WMUTeach has asked me to share my quilt layout for my jelly roll quilt in hopes of inspiring you for the use of your jelly rolls and/or 2 1/2” squares. As I mentioned on the picture thread, I was able to use an entire jelly roll + yardage for BG, sashings, and final border. (I strip pieced the corner stones on piano key border with scrap cast offs). Enjoy!

WMUTeach 04-05-2021 11:50 AM

Well, as you can see I asked for a posting from outside of our swapping group. Teen may be a familiar screen name to many of you.Her work is always perfect and interesting and calm. I saw her quilt a couple of weeks ago on the QB and really wanted to tap her for her EQ page so I could do a little calculating and create a scrappy 2.5" square version of her quilt. I contacted her this morning and Ta-Da, she is giving us her layout. I may also give a try with a jelly roll. I have several that are OK but for the life of me I can't recall why in the world I bought them. This would be a good way to clean out either my pile of 2.5's or a jelly roll.

I hope this inspires you to give it a try. I will dive in, after my current semester at the university is over. May and June may be the months for me to quilt like a crazy lady.

IrishMom 04-06-2021 09:24 AM

Teen - thank you for sharing! That is a very cool design. I could see lots of possibilities with our variety of fabric candies!

ahwu 04-06-2021 06:09 PM

Received one more today:
From:
Cuppy
Thank you!

sewbizgirl 04-06-2021 07:19 PM

Teen, thank you for that layout. That's a really sharp-looking quilt! I'd love to do one with my recycled shirts fabric. Great inspiration!

I've been out of town for a week (a blessed getaway!). Just got home tonight and have been going though a mountain of mail that's accumulated. Three envelopes are here, from WMUTeach, Hav4boys and Yarn Fairy and the Pixies... now who would that last one be? Last name is McDonnell... I haven't opened these three yet. My birthday is Friday and I'll save these for then! Thank you, all.

Sewbizgirl, it is almost time. Crossed fingers that all will arrive to help you celebrate with a full pile of surprises of sweet treats. I was double checking my list too and I have Gaijin (Post 307) as arriving for you too.

Oops, you're right! So sorry Gaijin, to have missed you in my list. Your candies are lovely!

sewbizgirl 04-08-2021 12:18 PM

Got a candies/card from loveofquilts today. And found out (by opening it) that the Yarn Fairy is Wendy McD! Thank you ladies!

Everyone, don't forget to put your board name (user name) somewhere on the outside of the envelope!

WMUTeach 04-08-2021 04:37 PM

Yes, Yarn Fairy is indeed WendyMcD. Good reminder sewbizgirl about screen names on the outside of the envelope. That way the Birthday Girl(s) can check off their list of recipients without opening the envelope..... unless they choose to open along them as they are received like our SBG.

AHWU it looks like you are missing two packages and I have "talked" or should I say communicated with both.

SBG you are missing thee by my count but you still have a day to go. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wink.png Fingers crossed that at least one will arrive tomorrow.

Sitting here listening to the spring peepers tonight and waiting for some thunder storms to roll in. What are your signs that spring has really arrived at your home?


sewbizgirl 04-08-2021 08:53 PM

I live in the woods so those peepers can be deafening! I love the sound tho, because it promises Spring is coming.

All the flowering trees and bushes are blazing with color now. And the baby calves and colts are being born in the pastures.

Hope you are having a great day sewbizgirl

sewbizgirl 04-09-2021 12:37 PM

Thank you for the birthday wishes! One more package arrived today and it said it was from Crispy Frog! Was that actually you, WMUTeach? Or Judy? It's a beautiful collection of all fall prints/colors. Thank you!

Today being my birthday I am going to open the last 4 packages I have been saving. Will get back with a picture of my favorite from each.

NZquilter 04-09-2021 01:44 PM

Wishing you a absolutely lovely day, Bonnie!!! Happy birthday!!!! 🎂🎈

The one from Crispy_Frog is wrapped in a Happy Birthday message from her. Mine arrived earlier and was a different selection of colors.


I hope your day was fun and perfect in the way you think is best! https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/tongue.png

ahuw, well, this is embarrassing. I sent my April envelopes on March 24 and one arrived to SBG but not yours. I will resend on Monday morning. I have spoken to the other swapper a few days ago and your envelope should be on its way.


sewbizgirl 04-12-2021 04:20 PM

Got a straggler from LorMarShon today. Thank you, Lorraine! Your fabrics are really cute. You must have some nice quilts at home.
