Received my block from Wendsy yesterday. Great color combo Mindy. Thank you.

Gorgeous block received this morning from Kathy N - Thank you so much xx

Received F8 from Girlscouts1 today. That is the last one for winter.

Block with no owner
 

I received a wonderful block in today's mail, it's a blue and white 9 patch, but no name. The envelope was closed with blue painter's tape and post marked Birmingham, AL sent out October 8. It must have been delivered to the wrong address because the envelope was openned (slashed through the top-don't know how it didn't harm the block-the address label has just the face of Liberty, the rest is ripped off.) Whoever opened this held on to it for a while before sending it on-not eaten by the mail machines, no body bag or explaination for the damage. With the information on the envelope I think it came from Kris 2011, but if anyone knows for sure, please let me know so I can put a name on it.:)

I also wanted to post the wonderful Custer's Star MissGiggleWings sent me last week

Howdy, I think with the Holidays around the corner a lot of folks are just busy shopping I know I have been and I did most of mine online...LOL

PS I still have a a lot of blocks out as well, and hoping that everyone that sent there F8 to me got there blocks back! With the board change it messed up a lot of keeping track.

I didn't know that some of the ladies dropped out, I hope they send our F8 back because I am still missing a lot of blocks...

wow that is some multi part mystery. hope you find the maker soon.

I didn't think anyone had dropped out of the winter swap...I received everyone's f8's.

April would be aware of anyone dropping out and she would be the one to post any information she received and what the status of the F8's would be. Until we see a post from her I'd say everyone is still participating. If you have received a PM from someone directly, please share that information with April so she can check it out for the rest of us.

It seems some finished up so quickly it's amazing. I'm glad we have until Feb though because I'm lucky to get to work on one or two a week at this time. I'm over 1/2 finished so I'm in good shape I think. For those that are finished, please be patient with those of us that aren't. I wouldn't get concerned until in January about who hasn't returned a block. That's when I plan to list the status of who hasn't sent theirs back to me and the status of what I have left to do.

Don't throw away all those left-overs from the F8s you receive -- this is what I did with scraps from the 4 Boomerangs I did, as a few pieces from my stash to give me the zise I want.

Wow Judy, good idea. You did that mighty fast. I might steal that idea thank you very much.

Hi everyone. I know it seems I've been gone a long a long time

Truth is I have. I guess new "systems" don't go good for me. I hope you have been receiving the blocks I have been sending them to you.
It is since October since I have been"gone". Hope all have been well - let me know.

I have an F8 that is green and would like to know who it belongs to. I have npt been been sucessful in attaching pictures, so would appreciate any help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Goldendog, if you like Carol Doak, we are starting a thread to work through her book "50 Fabulous PP Stars" I will post the thread probably Monday and we will start the first week of January. If you have the book please come join us.

Beautiful block received today from Peggers - Thank you - I love it xx

Poker Diva, in this paper pieced group, how often are you making a new block? One a week or something? I might consider this. I have been wanting to make myself some sampler quilts that I have made. I like it that the stars are not just simple ones that you see everyday. What thread is this under? Could you send me a link? Thanks for letting me know about this. Judy

I received a wonderful block from Alikat110 and a great block from Abby's Mom, thanks, Joan, for the extra pieces they'll definitely come in handy :)-Gotta love senior moments!
