Yeah....excited to see my f8's are getting to there destinations!. I have received f8's from Arizona KAT & Marcialee. ......also, think I missed posting Sat...recieved one from Scrapper

Thanks, TG. It will be used in a charity quily for the local Family Abuse Center.

Dad had the mail all laid out in rows on the table so I couldn't miss it when I got home.

We "play" a game when I'm opening -- "Fabric" or "Block"?

Even though he doesn't know they are for him, he "oooohhhhs and aaaaahhhs" over all of them and heads for the iron before pictures can be taken. Talk about enjoying the mail...this is it at it's height!

Now we have 3 cats and he is thrilled...I wish you could hear his laugh when something tickles him. :eek: He loved the pieced cat and so far thinks that will be the "middle if it was up to him".

now it's time to fix dinner...my back and hip are better so I'm sure he'll be after me to sew tonight....what a slave driver he is :)

Mailling finished blocks home to NanaKathy and Roseysue tomorrow. Has anyone tried Jinny Beyer patterns? Ive tried two of them now and Im not liking the lack of instructions that came with the patterns. Probably better NOT try anymore of hers unless I do it on my scrap fabric! sorry.... :(

I apologize for not putting that in the envelope sometimes I am just happy I found the envelope. sorry! that is going to be one fun quilt. Moon glad your dad is enjoying his blocks. three cats that will be one happy cat quilt for him. I didnt add a face figured you could add a button nose or eyes if you chose to. I kind of liked it being all black :) the paper pieced one wow that is sure pretty. lucky man!

On 11 Feb 13. Thank you for swapping again!

finished block or Joanelizbay today--pic on my profile with all other finished block pics. will mail asap.

Two more babies going home tomorrow. RoseIrish48..I loved that fabric you sent! Urgodschild, love the banana fabric! Please post when you get it done! Hard to beleive I have recevied 24 F8's already....Ive sent 10 out and havent even picked fabric for the other 14 yet.... :) Our new Joanns opened last week and I had to go check it out. I was a little disappointed in the prices there! Ive seen some of the same fabric at my local quilt shop for about $2 a yard less...they do have an excellent assortment of colors though!

I got three more blocks done, now up to 6/36 (16% yeah!) done and in my photo album:Joanelizbay, jaba, ljdugas31, oldcatlady, urgodschild2, lestrong601.

At last count I have ten more F8's to receive. I'll give it another week before I will start reporting as to who is missing.

Mailed out my F8 today. cuppy

thought to be different and those who know me.. well know I am different...I would post a list of whose fabric I have NOT received. UNLess laugh go ahead I sent you a block back in which case well.. I messed up. A rarity .. shock.. pick yourself up off the floor its true. I forgot (oh no) to mark who I sent blocks back to. No worries you get grumpy your block is not back I have kept a photo of your block and name .. I just cant put it in my file yet. The camera records it just wont read now. sigh. such is life.

I am sure your busy cutting and sending at your own pace. Please note if you DID send it to me and I should have gotten it we both shall have to watch for it carefully so let me know. I will go to the postal again on Friday so its a few days out..

What a tremendous fast shipping group.. I am SO IMPRESSED. I am SO happy to see so many blocks being turned around. I am hoping for 5 a week if not more. So the goal is.. soon :) tomorrow is two blocks. The first will be Ms. Hauser so momma watch it will be coming. tough one. I had the perfect absolute blend.. oh no no blends. no batiks.. a newbie. I am chosing my Kona blackest of blacks (or is it moda0 its just blackest of blacks).. hope that is going to work. not sure I have solid white. ugh I hate solids. I love you kid or I would be beggin' please NO solids ugh but for you.. anything almost.

Received another f8 today -- Goldendog55

Actually felt good enough yesterday and tonight to get 2 blocks finished.

Moonrise & Roseirish48 should watch their mail boxes for a block from me. Dad signed off as "approved" so they can leave Possum Trot now.

I have changed my signature link so the newest blocks should be there in case anyone wants to peek at them.

Sending out two blocks to abby's Mom and Elisabrat. So look for it to come a mailbox near you in the future. You can peek if you want.

moonwork42029,
A finished block for you is leaving Japan today! I posted it in my album.


Received F8's from: travelinggrandma, OK Darla, Abby'sMom, Lestrong601.

I really liked the idea of a 3 color quilt - that's why I wanted only solid black & whites. I have an image that is very modern in my mind. I know you love jumping through my fabric hoops. :)

ok got another F8th today from Goldendog55, love the fabirc, and all the colors, and mine will be out tomorow, woohoo a day warly , thought i wouldnot be able to till thursday, but i will be tomorow, so have fun with them and im finisheing up my kansas block for the nations freedom quilt and then i will start on the booms, also working on a 2 tabel runners and a wall hanging, i like to keep busy,

Here's my status update. :)

And I received this pretty block yesterday from RoseIrish48. Thanks so much! It's beautiful. :)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]394911[/ATTACH]

I just love that fabric moonrise .. is there a whole series in that line or is that a one fabric pic? I think I could see that on MY bed..send it on over.. after you quilt it of course. Super pretty. still wondering who made that one...

I also can steal the rest of them too just leave them on the end of your bed and go fabric shopping there are some so pretty combinations going on. Maybe thats its Mamahauser your fabric is modern. That is what is throwing me. BTW you got me very interested in Batiks and now well I think they are so wonderful.. the colors grab you. Gracias Seniorita!

Fabric.com shows that there's a coordinating stripe that goes with my fabric, but says they're both currently out of stock. It's called Marrakesh, by Fabric Traditions. Maybe they'll get some more soon, or perhaps someone else carries it?

Here's a link to the stripes:

And here's the focal print:

I agree with brat.....I love that material.

I found this fabric at Hobby Lobby and they also have the stripe and a pretty beige

When I had used that fabric in a prior Boomerang, I got it at JoAnn's.

I will be posting my fabric received list in a day or two... Promise.

Nothing in the mail box today but papers...no F8's! Anxiously watching for the stamp from Japan!! :)

The mail lady brought an F8 from ArizonaKAT today. :)

I will be mailing out two tomorrow. Joanelizbay and OldCatLady.
I received a beautiful block from dahna42. Thank you.

Received a F8 today from goldendog55 and a side swap from Nexxus. No blocks went out, took the day off and worked on a table runner I need to complete. I need to get my tax stuff ready for the accountant so will maybe do that this weekend.

I also got a grown up block from twinriversfarm. It is gorgeous.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]395003[/ATTACH]

I cut out fabric from a handful of blocks this afternoon and ran into a snag. I need a small amount of fabric more of OKdarlas green and cream starburst-like fabric, just one 4.5" square; can anyone spare a square? PM me if you have any extra and we can work out a trade of some sort....Christina

no squishies in mail today for me but mailed off three that i had finished including Fashionista Pumpkinhead. I finished one block today--a side swap with Nexxus--pic in profile album
