Can't wait to see all of them! Gonna be fun getting them too!!

kluedesigns 11-17-2009 05:36 PM

i have them in my gym, its the only room in the house with enough open floor space.

i plan on laying them all out in rows that i can walk down and DH & i will just walk thru the rows and swap.

STAR 11-17-2009 05:43 PM

What does DH think of all those blocks?

kluedesigns 11-17-2009 05:52 PM

he can't believe that so many people have made so many blocks. i think we'll end up with about 99 sets total.

sharon b 11-17-2009 05:59 PM

I bet they are a sight to see :shock:

Esqmommy 11-17-2009 06:11 PM

Are you taking pictures??

kluedesigns 11-17-2009 06:50 PM

yes, i'll take a pic when they're all set up just before the swapping process.

Rhonda 11-17-2009 07:52 PM

Wow that is a lot of blocks! 99 sets x 18 is 1782 blocks!! That is going to take some time to do Klue!

Bet you never envisaged this many blocks when you started this!

kluedesigns 11-17-2009 07:56 PM

no, i had no idea the response would be like this. i'm also floored by how many people are doing the Cyber Block Party.

Bettia 11-17-2009 08:13 PM

do you have an approximate guess how many have joined cyber?

49 people total joined the swap and the block total was 103.

so far i've rec'd blocks from 44 people and we have 94 blocks.

i don't have all the blocks yet at a minimum 2 more people are sending in their blocks.

i've sent PMs to the few people i've never heard from to find out what, if anything, will be mailed.

Shemjo 11-17-2009 08:39 PM

I am so excited about this!

sorry klue, i meant the 2010 DJ

kluedesigns 11-18-2009 01:30 AM

i think about 20 or so people will be doing the 2010 cyber party.

i think some people will be doing it but not posting because so many people have downloaded the schedule (215 downloads).

reneebobby 11-18-2009 04:34 AM

Well, step daughter is 4 months now and is due the same day her step sister graduates from college, so of course we teased her and said baby can come Saturday May 9th or Monday May 11th, and if the baby comes May 8th it would have been it's Step grandfathers 65th birthday.

At my house spoiled is not a word we use. I prefer to say loved. LOL

reneebobby 11-18-2009 06:37 AM

I hear you extremely loved.

Esqmommy 11-18-2009 06:56 AM

reneebobby 11-18-2009 07:22 AM

That's great either way. I'm kind of shy about posting my work since I met all of the pros here.

I used to just do traditional quilts, clothing, alaterations and crafts.
A lot of craft shows for fun. I also used to be a stay at home mom, after 20 some years I went back to work. I think I had it backwards. I should be staying at home now.

I am learning a lot of new stitching methods (PP) etc.
I am still somewhat reserved.
Also, I'm ready for DJ to start except for my fabric. Should be here any day.

don't be shy about posting your work here, everyone is really very nice.

we're all at different stages in our learning experience but we all have 1 thing in common - all quilts, no matter the style or construction, are a beautiful expression of our art.



bearpaw 11-18-2009 12:15 PM

Bettia, definitely post pictures!! Your work is beautiful - I have a little doll quilt to prove it!!!! :D :D

Bettia 11-18-2009 12:28 PM

Thanks Bearpaw.
