i have a request to make if that's ok...
i forgot to ask earlier on...
would you mind if i ask you to send me a postcard from where you live.

I have a collection of postcards, cards etc from previous swaps, and have also collected all sorts of things including envelopes, notes, letters about the 'swapper' & stamps from abroad. I take a photo of the blocks etc and paste these into the scrap book also.
i think it's lovely way of getting to know the person you're swapping with, and also a reminder of where the block came from. (also for future generations, as i think each quilt has a story and a future history!)

thanks 'sew' much, i would looooove and appreciate it!
love jacquie xxxx

gosh! i hope you're ok!!

I was checked by the doctor. He is the one who wanted me to go to the hospital. I smoked to many years and have COPD. I now am recovering from bronchial pneumonia. Have been on anti-biotics.

sorry to hear that, hopefully you'll be on the mend and up & about for Christmas! :)
that's a good idea, if everyone puts in with their row their help towards postage over to the UK. thats a great way to help dayle...
well done betty!

Oh, Betty ..... I was wondering why we haven't heard from you in awhile .... you know it went through my mind a couple of times, that there might be something wrong. "Been There - Done That" with the Bronchial Pneumonia bit, many years ago when I was still working. Spent at least 3 months with absolutely "no energy" .... felt like I walking around with 500 pounds on my chest .... didn't seem to get rid of it (or notice I started getting rid of it) until the warm weather kicked in, like May and June (and this was in California). It is BAD stuff and especially with you having COPD. I have never smoked, don't have breathing problems and do not want them either. You take care gal .... your in my prayers. (((HUG))) -- Dayle

Thanks for all the get well wishes. I still have bronchitis but am feeling much better. At least I am once again functioning.

Just checked on my package that was sent to Pattis47. It says that the package has arrived at your PO and will be delivered to you on Monday. Yeah!!

I hope you feel better very soon. Bronchitis is no fun, have had my share. You will be getting a package shortly, hope it lifts your spirits

Here is my row.

Cool. I love it.
