And then I received a grown up block from moonrise.

On 10/15/11 I received a grown up block from CyndyH
I will show you all of these now:

The name of this block is "Star of Hope" This was my very first block to receive!This pretty block came from CyndyH. I love the way she used the Christmas colors and also gave it a bright look, making the star stand out. Thanks Cyndi.

This block, named "Snowball Nine Patch" from Quilter's Cach was made for me by moonrise. I love how she used the pointsettia fabric and accented it with the other fabric! It will really look good in my Christmas Quilt. Thanks.

Lovely block! I will post them later-when I can get to my camera!

I also received a F8 from BabyFireO4-boy, do I have fabric to go with your fabric-had to buy some b&w fabric for the last swap so I know I'm ready to work on your block ;-)

marcialee 10-08-2011 08:38 AM

Oh I am excited to check out a block....

heyjami 10-08-2011 09:23 AM

Aully I have it in Excel. My macro formats addresses into a tab that is printed on the sheets as you see them. Word doesn't work for me since it puts headers and footers in and ruins the layout.

Send me a PM with your email and I'll email an excel file.

What problem are you having with pdf? That should be pretty foolproof. But, of course we all have our own computers with their own minds!

GORGEOUS grownups received from sheysmema, moonrise, and cyndi H! Thank you so much, pics coming as soon as I fix this wifi for my camera. What a fun, exciting treat!

Please please remember to put your board name with these beauties. Remember, there are 35 others and to have to cross reference just opens us all up to losing track of blocks. Put your board name on it and get immediate credit! ;-)

thx!!!

When I print them from PDF they are to big and make a mess of the labels and I can not change the font size. I use the Avery labels. I tryed word yesterday and it was a mess too with the headers and footers.

I will PM you, Thanks so much!
:thumbup:

Aully 10-08-2011 09:36 AM

My F8's will be going out next week, sorry for the delay.

paintmejudy 10-08-2011 09:43 AM

Beautiful blocks received today from CyndiH and Sarah Fitz -- love them both, you captured exactly what I was looking for!

But could I ask that you post pictures? I cannot find the cord to connect the camera to the puter. The floors are being all torn up and I had to move the computer into the sewing room. There is a leak in the slab and I had to pack everything up -- living, dining, family and den. Ugh. Thought I moved everything I would need for the month into the sewing room but do not know what happened to the connecter cord.

moonwork42029 10-08-2011 09:51 AM

3 f8's in mail today...
Janecat - (was in a special "I'm sorry" envelope from postmaster so I was thrilled to see it was all okay, phew)

oatw13

Abby's Mom

My f8's will be mailed Monday 10/10/11 along with a little note for you.

babyfireo4 10-08-2011 11:20 AM

received two more yesterday: janecat, and oatw13! One today from abby's mom.
I received on of my envelopes back, The sticky label apparently came off.... Soooo I'll have to wait and see who doesn't get one because I have no idea who it goes to!!!
Already made a sewing mistake and broke out the seam ripper.
Has anyone else used the specialty triangle from fons and porter for HST? I did, sewed and then ironed them and sewed them how they go. Can you guess what I did wrong????

..... didn't double check the size after ironing, they needed trimmed down.... lol

at least they wern't to small!! Thank god for little miracles :)

marcialee 10-08-2011 11:31 AM

I decided NOT to post pictures of the blocks unless the person ask me to. I don't want to ruin surprises in the mail. If you ask, I then will post your block. I hope I don't see mine on here before I get it. I love surprises.
Thanks.

joanelizbay 10-08-2011 11:35 AM

Got another F8 today from babyfire04. Ive wanted to make a b/w sampler but never have the time so Im excited to try this block! Also as a heads up I could not find fabric that just grabbed me but my sister in law was looking at my quilt pictures and told me she really loves purple so I bought a darker purple and a light lavendar and Im going to let you all make them into beautiful blocks and make her a quilt! She loves the small flower prints she said. And there are hundreds of them I found! Have fun..Ill mail them Tues since PO is closed Monday for Columbus day.

alikat110 10-08-2011 12:26 PM

paintmejudy 10-08-2011 01:06 PM

haven't started putting blocks together, but i spent a lovely evening picking out fabrics to put with the f8's you guys have placed into my care. it was very fun sorting, fondling and selecting fabrics. this alone will make joining this swap worth it. of course, i also like receiving lots of mail (especially not from bill collectors!!!)
