This is Snownannnie. Thanks for hosting a swap. I love Halloween it is so fun. I will be in for the whole bit. 4 sets of 6. Can't wait to start on them. My new embroidery machine is in the shop and I haven't used it yet. My hubby bought me a Babylock Ellisimo with all the upgrades. Can't wait to get it back. Hopefully this week.

Thank You RedGarnet222!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see you live in Clovis NM my mom was from melrose and I think one of her sisters still lives in Clovis. It's been so many years since I've been there.

Hi snownannie! I am happy that you are going to join us. I will sign you up right now.

I don't know what is going on with page 4 of the thread. I can't open it????? If there was anyone that asked to sign up on the previous page, please let me know. This is weird, I have never had this happen before. I will ask Patrice about it.

I also had difficulty loading page 4 .... it took forever to download and when I did I kept getting a pop-up even though I have turned off pop-up ads. Then I had a virus alert. I don't think I'll be looking at this post again.

I can't load page 2

It seemed to become an issue after I posted a picture of my blocks. It took forever for me to get it posted so possible that is the problem.

I was wondering if that might have something to do with it Billi. I notified Patrice to please check on it for us. She will let us know what, if anything is going on. Don't worry.

Marybrace ... There is the pictures of the finished quilts on page two of this thread. Maybe your computer doesn't want to open it because of them. I put those up and I know for a fact I don't have a virus on my computer. Maybe it is throwing a fit somehow over pictures??? What do I know... But Patrice will find out for us!

I hope Patrice is able to fix the problem if it's my picture I can't for the life of me figure out why, or what I did but hopefully Patrice can eithe fix or delete it and our thread will be easier to access again.

I don't mean you only billi. Some one said that they had a problem opening page two also. That is the page with my pictures on it with the quilts. You see? I don't understand it either, and I haven't heard from Patrice yet either. Please don't sweat it.

The swap is a great fun thing for us and we need to just get on with it, ok?

No worries from me I have 3 sets of blocks finished and the the 4 set in the last stages of completion :-) im not excited about this swap or anything............I chose to be kind of random they are all a different size if I read the instructions correctly they are all an acceptable. If not let me know now while I can still correct them. Red could you pm me your address? Once I finish the last set I want to get them off to you so I don't forget.

6.5 x 6.5
6.5 X 12.5
9.5 X 9.5
9.5 x 12.5

Come on gals let's see/hear what you are working on too.

I have not started on my Halloween blocks yet as I am finishing up a couple items for other swaps, but they will be coming soon.

Yep, I can't open page four either.

Billi- I love your blocks that you posted. I almost want to join in the fun again this year. I made the second quilt posted on the first page of this thread for my DD last year. She loves it.

Thank you they were a lot of fun and now I'm done just finished my last one of the last group. You should join again I like the low stress of having a varriety of sizes to choose from and being able to make any type of block 2 of mine are appliqué. It will be quite the puzzle when I start putting them together but I like puzzles so that ok

WOW!!! Showing the quilts was a GREAT way to get people to sign up! I'm totally in!!! They are so lovely and fun! Halloween is not one of my favorite motifs, but those quilts are over the moon adorable!!!

Great Blankety! I have you all signed up! That makes fourteen of us so far.

I pulled out my fabrics and washed some to get started on them soon. I chose a witch, Frankenstein, and a trick or treating kitty so far. I think the last one will be pieced.

I have all my witch pieces attached to the backing and now the stitching begins! She is coming out so cool! I think I found the fabric for my frankenstein face fabric too. He will be a combination of fused and pieced block.

Here is a sneak peek of my witch and franky. I am not sure about the clothing fabric for him. But I think it is kinda cute. The ears I made like a prairie point and three D. I still need to stitch around a few areas and sew the background to him. And the witch will have a spooky eye and a couple other things too.

Well swappers, what do ya think? They are both ending up as 12 1/2 inch squares.

How much fun are those! I love them your witch is amazing.

Wow Red those are amazing! I want both of them. You sure did get your creative juices flowing. Great job!

I love them both and need to have them both. Please please. If I don't get them then maybe we can do a side swap.:)

Red those are so great,I need them too

HA haha it's looking like you better just make a whole bunch of those awesome blocks so you don't disappoint any go us. :-)

Oh dear! Thanks so much ladies. I am sure there will be tons of great blocks from everybody in our swap. I hope there are other people who are willing to share their blocks with us. This is part of the fun. Just make sure the pics are at the 640 x 480 pixel range to upload them.

Can blocks be 9 1/2 x 9 1/2?

Why sure owlvamp! I had to trim Frankie down to a 9 1/2 by 9 1/2 because he was exactly 12 inches! Wow, where the heck was my head? I miscalculated by a whole half an inch!

Ok, here are my blocks (4 sets)...what do ya think? I think they are pretty good.

Wow, Pamesue, I think they're great! I love the cats.

I love them and hope to get one. Will do side swaps if any one wants to after this swap.

Oh look ... scaredy cats! How cute.

I like the scaredy cats too!

Those are too cute, your I love the prints you used on them, especially the cats.

does anyone else have trouble loading this thread? It never loads for me the right way. It takes forever and a day.

Guess what came in the mail today billi? Your blocks are so nice! I took pics of three of them so you gals could see them.

Awesome thanks they do look pretty dang cute. Thanks for showing them off for me. Did the 9patch make it into the envelope?

Lowe the blocks pamesue, especially the cat. But let's not give the owls a complex, they are cute too.

I really love the blocks so far. I'm working on some designs and hope to narrow it down some.

I ordered some new fabric and received it today. Now I can sit down and plan what I want to do. I'm getting excited!

look forward to seeing the blocks in person. I love to touch.....
