great news!!

joans civil war rows arrived here 10 minutes ago!!

what beautiful fabrics!!!!!! joan, it's going to be a real treasure!!!! it's gorgeous!!!

i only have 1 block left to make and some embroidered writing to do, and i'm finished on your row!!
how exciting!!!

now, the big question... do i post it back to joan, or do i hold onto it until all the other quilt tops are ready to go home to their owners!!!???!!!
lol....

I'm so happy that they have made it to you and soon I'll get them back home!! I'm so excited that I can hardly stand it!!
I was wondering about getting them back to people. What if you mailed it out and I promise not to open it until everyone has theirs? We could pick a time and day when we could all open them together??

My "Two Cents" for what its worth: Due to the "mailing length of time" ..... between the International/USA time frames ..... give some thought to mailing it and get it on its way. Of course I keep thinking how it took "1 month" for Jacquie to get my "first row to her" .... and due to better weather, things are moving faster now.

Since I got back home from my Dad's I've spent the last two days and nights working on this row for Boopers. My husband seems to think I should have been doing things like laundry, and house cleaning, but I wasn't of the same mind!
So here is the row I've produced. I will sew it on after dinner ( I guess I should make him dinner. LOL ) and post a picture then of it attached to the other rows. I hope you like it.

Joan,
That center medallion is stunning. The whole row is just fantastic. Will you share the patterns with me. I would love to try to do those blocks. I just cant think of other words to describe your work....AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Joan, I am getting so excited and can't wait to get my rows back. Your work is wonderful. TY

I have to be honest, I don't think I can honestly say if they ship mine back to me early that I could let it sit in a box and wait to open it until everyone has theirs. I know it would be fun to set a date and time for the reveals, but an Early Bird that can wait????????????? Isn't that an contradiction?
I promise to do my best to wait, but it might just get the best of me.

absolutely beautiful work.
