Mosher92, Jan10, Nancy in Louisana thank you all for your kind words. The swap is young and I'm learning to relax! :-o

Okay Ladies
I am so sorry I have been away for a few days. Life has kind of happened between my IH acting up, my teeth needing attention and my daughter not feeling well it was a bit crazy that last couple of days. I love seeing all of the blocks that have come in to everyone! I think they are all beautiful! I am so thrilled with this swap. MJ I am glad you liked your block and I am loving your new organized space. It has taken me 4 weeks to do mine and it still looks as bad as when I started :-( WWoman I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your FIL. Please know your family is in my thoughts and prayers and if there is anything i can do all you have to do is ask. It is nice that your MIL can gain a little comfort in doing this with you. I have all F8s except for Cjt's (no rush though we have plenty of time :-) ) I also have completed blocks going home today to Anita and Colleen-hope you ladies enjoy them. And lastly I would like to say to everyone who has thanked me for this swap-I appreciate your kind words but in all honesty it would not have been possible without all of YOU! So thank you for allowing me this opportunity to not only challenge myself but to make new friends :-) Hugs April |
Purplemem - love the new sewing room! You are an inspiration :)
Winewoman I am sorry for your loss. I hope your mother-in-law can find peace while helping you. If she wants some fabric to make her own blocks, I will gladly send another piece. My mom has been helping me with blocks and patterns and such. It's nice to have the help. I received fabric from Roseanne T on Saturday. According to my list, I am now only missing F8's from cjt_mama. Take your time. But if you've already sent it, let me know so I can track it down. I will have another completed block heading out to Kimberly W today. I think I am about halfway through! :) |
WOW!! That is such a HUGE difference!! You have inspired me to organize!! :D

I have a much better room. I have lots more to do, and my quilt backs are just stacked on the top shelf all willy-nilly |

I will send you an email. I meant to post that in my last post but I forgot :-) Hugs April |

Thank you for all the compliments, it sure has made the sewing go better. I found another useful storage item:
This is a wire coated Pot Lid holder from Wmt. About $6, just perfect for holding my acrylic templates. I have one in multiple blocks sizes for squaring blocks. I had them made at Lowe's by purchasing one sheet of plexiglass for $10. I have them in 5, 7, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15 inches square. Lowe's will make as many cuts as you wish for free. Any glass cutting place will do also. My lid holder as template holder [ATTACH=CONFIG]44106[/ATTACH] |
Mary Jane you really need to hire yourself out as an organizer, I'll even let you practice on my room. lol
