Roseysue I got your fat8 day. Lilacs are my favorite summer bush. In Chattanooga, I had bushes 10' tall but down here in coastal Ga, it is just to hot for them.
I also got fat8s from a couple of side swappers. ahwu and ssnare. Going to make some sweet music with one. |

TADA::::sent home blocks today to irishrose48 and brat, received F8's from travelinggramma, quiltmommy, roseysue, phannie1.
Got my big girl blocks back from lestrong and ljdugas. Also received from Indian group but will post there.[ATTACH=CONFIG]393771[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]393772[/ATTACH] |
The 1st one is from lestrong and the 2nd from ljdugas. Love them both ladies and they look fabulous with the other blocks so far. Thank you so much, they are perfect...Sorry not just quite with it today, lots of other things interferring right now.

I had several blocks arrive in today. I've got them posted in the link below. My son helpfully threw the envelopes (yay for doing chores!) before I got to write this post - but I did get my spreadsheet updated (also posted at the link below - follow the link & click the button on the page). I'm getting ready to go take my state certification exams for student teaching on Saturday and this is the first break I've taken since yesterday to deal with anything "sewing." The blocks are all looking great!

Miss April I'm working on your block, it's just taking a little time, and I just keep looking at it and thinking hmmmmm, then it makes me laugh. Think you're going to be surprised!?! :eek:

Wow, we all had bonanza days for the mail!
Received f8 from: Phannie Gaijin (all the way to Possum Trot, whopee) Elisabrat Lestrong Also received 3 grownup blocks --- It was so funny when we opened the packages...Dad absolutely LOVES the black with the fabric. He kept saying "That will be such a pretty top when we get it done".... I almost blew it and told him they were for him. This will be harder than I thought to keep secret. [ATTACH=CONFIG]393801[/ATTACH] Country1 [ATTACH=CONFIG]393802[/ATTACH] Lestrong601 [ATTACH=CONFIG]393803[/ATTACH] ljdugas31 Aren't we off to a terrific start! I know it's hard with 2 "Moons" especially since we are both "Lisa" too. How funny is that? |
Jan I cannot wait to see what you are doing...I am sure I will be surprised :) Love your blocks so far :)
Love your blocks Moon and I sure hope Dad will too (though it sounds like he already does) Joan the yellow & white look wonderful!! Im so aggravated. I printed out some paper piecing patterns to make some blocks but for whatever reason none of the printouts are the right size. Guess I will have to ask hubby what i did wrong :( Hugs April |

I got a squishy from Gaijin from Japan.
I am sending out grown up blocks to Moonrise and The MamaHauser. |
Sorry that block doesn't belong here.

Hi Ladies, my mother, LeStrong601 wanted me to post on here that she got f8th from Gaijin today. My mother doesn't get on the site as it confuses her so I do most of the posting for her per her verbal instructions. Hope you ladies don't mind, maybe one day I can get her to figure it out. She really is enjoying this swap though. Making the different blocks daily gives her some variety which she likes.

Melinda - I think it is wonderful that she and you get to quilt together and share this time. Maybe she can at least read along some of our wacky comments and look at the beautiful blocks that are made. They give me so much inspiration!

Paper piece patterns finally printed correct and now working on blocks while watching the snow fall and fall and fall lol
Hugs April |
Received OK Darla and dahna42 today

Oh yea.......LOL....I forgot the reason I signed on.......I mailed all my F8's off today......I hope everyone receives them ok...I weighed each one and they were all under an ounce so the rate showed .46 (except the int'l ones) If anyone has to pay additional postage I will gladly reimburse you (or send you a stamp)....please let me know.
We have a cold and rainy weekend in sunny California so I'm staying inside to sew and sew...LOL |
The snow is coming, the snow is coming.....we are suppose to get 24-30inches. I hope we don't lose power, so I can sew.

Received snowflake fabric from quildintmommy today...waiting for inspiration for it..maybe it would help if April would send some SNOW back to Missouri!!! Too warm for winter here. Received this beautiful block from Country 1 today. Called Monkey Wrench. I love it...
|
One more block done...if I could share the snow I surely would. I love it actually :) I couldn't imagine living somewhere that had no snow...

Received F8 from gaijin, and from lovingisabella & quiltaddiction in atlantic. Sent home elisabrats and paperpiecreme in atlantic group.
I received finished blocks from elisabrat and phannie and kris2011 in the indian group. Thanks ladies love them all. My quilts are going to be fabulous !![ATTACH=CONFIG]393949[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]393950[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]393951[/ATTACH] |
WOW April. I love it! My colors dont show up good in the pictures I post but all the yellows are BRIGHT and I love them with the whites!! Thanks!!
|
Received my first finished block today from Moonrise..Love it!
Thanks |
all finished blocks were mailed today. Received another envelope from Lestrong today and was wondering why she was sending another f8 til opened and found my first completed block---a lovely card Trick block. thanks!'
also rec'd a wild f8 from LovingIzabella today---that one will be a challenge. Finished another block today--pics of finished blocks on album page for any sneak peaks needed. |
found some very pretty paper pieced blocks of Quilters Cache--unfortunately after using one of them to make one of the blocks, i have decided not to use any paper pieced patterns from there without drawing them out on freezer paper and double checking the accuracy. One i used last night for a block was off by whole inch so had to add a border around block to get correct size. today's block i completed was another paper pieced one but i graphed it out first and am I glad i did as their pattern was off by a quarter inch on each piece!!!
