I mailed out birthday packages to all June birthdays except the last three on the list. I will get those out by next weekend, I think.

Yeah, I meant July...

Arrived back in AZ with my other two Grands with me. I won't be sewing much and going thru withdrawal!
Sent my 7 envelopes out today.

Hi everyone. I plan on putting direction for step for today. Right now I am at the drs. Hoping I do not have pneumonia. Should’ve leaving here soon.

Wow, you guys are on top of the mailing. I was out of town collecting my Row-by-Row rows and when I got home last night I had a huge pile of mail on the table for me from all my wonderful friends here at the Birthday Swap.

My Row-by-Row adventure took to to 4 states; MN, WI, IA and SD; over 2000 miles, and 68 quilt shops. I won't even tell you how much I spent :o But I was good and din't buy toooooo much fabric besides the kits I wanted for my actual quilt.

So as of 6/27/18 I have received candies from.....

Thank you everyone.

Barb, take care of yourself. :( Hope you feel better soon...

Anoka! 68 shops??? How did your head not explode? I'm so jealous of your RxR quest, but I don't know if I could have lasted through 2000 miles and 68 shops. Half of that would have worn me out, LOL!

The one I bought was from the Cotton Blossom shop in Ridgeland, MS. It's so very Mississippi!

A little bonus for the July birthday girls. I just got back from the post office. I went to buy two books of stamps, and the clerk asked if I would like to smell the stamps???? Apparently the post office now has scratch and sniff stamps and the birthday girls have smelly Popsicle on their envelopes.

Travelinggramma......we sent out 8 envelopes....do you need some help figuring out who you did not send to?


Barb

Anoka 68 shops!!!!!!!! did you go with other quilters??? Your saintly hubby????

wowsa.... would love to see a picture of all of your goodies.

Ready for Set #4 In the Mystery Quilt??? (I feel like some mysterious music should play here)

1. Go back into your stash of 2.5" squares. Make 20 sets of 2's. we will call them "Twosies" (medium and darks still)

2. Now sew your twosies to a 4.5 back ground square.

3. Now add a left over set of 3's to the right side. So it looks like this:




I will come on and check to see if there are any questions.

PS. Dr says I have Bronchitis.

I received 1 package today
Thank you:
