just got back from mailing mine ... do I ever wish I was going to where I mailed mine LOL it's freezing here today!

Mailed mine off today into the wide blue yonder!! Please keep safe and stay home tomorrow my American friends..

Mine also went out and I would have liked to have gone a long to visit this lovely quilter. Maybe one of these days. Enjoy!

That’s so sweet, Anna....I feel the same...

Mailed mine south today....it’s got to be a little warmer than it is in Northeast Ohio https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/boy.gif

You guys....look at this gorgeous Wallhanging Rumbols sent me. I just love it. The colors and fabrics are beautiful and her hand work is impeccable, applique and quilting perfect. . I am ordering a hanger tonight cuz this baby is going in entry way....She also sent some adorable pumpkin fabric.. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/sewing.gif
Thank you, so much, Rumbols! I will display proudly!!! Big Hug!

Rumbols , That is a beautiful wall hanging! I am doing a little hand stitching but don’t think mine will ever look as pretty as that pumpkin and vines look...so perfect!
And Teen, How nice that will look in your entry way. It’s gorgeous!

Thank you so much Skaduzy for my wall hanging. Everyone, she sent me a Christmas Tree made out of green plaid tear drops with a yellow star and a lovely red print border. She also send me a couple of spools of thread, two FQ's, machine needles, a note pad, and a personal 2021/2022 calendar. I love everything. You were right, this was like Christmas.Wish I could post a pic but can't. Thank you, Skaduzy.

Teen, so glad you like my wall hanging. I feel bad now just sending you a FQ, when Skaduzy sent me so much.

Skaduzy, I am sure your hand work will be great. Mine was just the back stitch (like outlining).

Teen what a lovely wall hanging Rumbols sent you . Loved the colours

Rumbols...don’t feel bad...totally unnecessary. You put so much work in your WH...that is gift enough..

Thanks for the kind words Rumbols. I’m glad you like it. The other things are to put under the tree.

I’m going to keep practicing my hand stitching so I can get as good as you. Even backstitch is a problem at my house. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/hug.gif

Just opened up my fabulous quilt from Teen. post #30
Glad to have a quilt now with 30's fabric. I am inspired to make one with those fabrics. Also enjoyed the goodies that came with it.

I have already hung it up!! Great workmanship! Something I will treasure.

Someone got a UPS package yesterday from me. Ask the man of the house where it is!

You are welcome, j50!! So glad you are pleased with your WH and goodies... enjoy!

Teen you said the houses were paper pieced. Can you give me the link for them.
I love paper piecing and I love houses so that could be my next project!!!!

I love to paper piece, too. I am collecting house patterns to make a custom house quilt so these will be in my quilt, as well. My avatar shows a custom quilt comprised of all FPP blocks that I collected over the years. You can find the quilt and various links to block patterns on the pictures thread. The link is below..

I love this guy’s business name....lol....Here’s the link to free FPP pattern. If you have issues, I can always email them to you..

Received a gorgeous wall hanging from j50....and a bonus matching mug rug! Really cute! Will try to get a picture posted later today....Thanks j50!

As promised....here is the picture. I really have been busy...the stove decided it needed a new 'brain', and a grandson that I haven't seen for several years came in from Arizona, so I'm sure I'm forgiven for not posting the picture earlier. The wall hanging is beautiful, and there's a bonus little mug rug! Thanks j50!

I received this beautiful quilt in the mail yesterday. Thank you MarionsQuilts. It is so beautiful! All the small detail and colors are just perfect. Also a special thank you for the big piece of beautiful fabric and premade blocks. What a nice surprise. I have your little quilt hanging up.

Hopefully this shows off its beauty even better. And it did so please click on it to see the gorgeous quilt marionsquilts made for me.

Granky...j50 did an awesome job on your Wallhanging. It is so so pretty. So happy for you, too, that your grandson visited with you for a bit. Precious memories. Hopefully, you got your stove up and running...

Anna....gorgeous WH from Marion. She is so creative and always choose a beautiful colorway. She’s got the talent for that. Please share what you do with the blocks she sent. So fun...

I’m getting snow flurries today!! Winter is upon us...

It was 70 here in Ohio today. It’s been about 5 days with warmth and the sun shining. If you are getting snow flurries, Teen, we can’t be so far behind. I hate to think about the cold....just don’t like it much anymore.

All the wall hangings have been so unique.....and beautiful!

Just wondering, has anyone besides me not received yet? https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/shock.png

Oh no..Skaduzy...... hopefully, it can be tracked by sender...

I do not think my recipient received hers yet.

I know my recipient hasn't receive hers yet either......

your quilt is beautiful. it would look great in my beachy bedroom.

Annasquilts - glad you liked it! Can't wait to see what you do with the blocks I sent you!

Several ideas of maybe adding to it or using it for a much smaller mug rug/wallhanging or coasters. Fun to plan. Maybe will make something for a Christmas gift. Such pretty colors that many people like. Thank you.

I have been away with no internet , now at mums in Perth so I don't know if I have a parcel waiting at home for me . There has been some real beauties being swapped . Loved them all

Enjoy the visit with your mum, R-Sea... Spring time will be my trip home to my mom’s. It feels like an eternity since a I’ve had her in my arms. It’s killing me.

I almost started a wallhanging but then changed my mind. Not sure yet. Too many choices.

My wall hanging swapper has to wait at least another week according to tracking . I have not received mind yet

I have been checking every day, still nothing!

Me neither Marion ..... they will be coming soon I hope. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/boy.gif

Finally Annaquitls beautiful wall hanging arrived .Beautifully sewn and quilted . As well Anna sent a bundle of fabric ,a zip bag and chocolates

So glad it made it. This time to Australia it took its sweet time.

So pretty, R-Sea......definitely worth the wait!!!

Update ---
 

If anyone other than Marion has not gotten their WH yet please let me know. I haven't kept tabs on the receiving as well as I should have.
Marion's had the wrong address and was returned. So It is going back out again with the right address. So sorry Marion. But hopefully you will see it soon!

so another swap ends and a new one begins :) Thank you so much to each of you for being a part of our swaps!! You are such wonderful quilters and have made this swap what it is!! I appreciate each of you! Rhonda

Update on my situation.
My husband (also deals with a brain injury) has been recovering from a successful cancer surgery. He has a soft spot in the center of his sternum as they removed bone. He has to be careful about not pulling or pushing. He is learning how to use the laptop LOL and enjoying finding out the joys of frustrating things that happen online LOL He loves movies and shows and I'm glad he is having a good time. Because of his brain injury he is limited in some ways.
I have started cardiac pulmonary rehab to build up my body for surgery. I have been told I need to lose a hundred pounds before they will consider me for a lung transplant. So I am now working on rehab which is exercising under a nurse's supervision and will be working with a dietitian and my dr to get my weight down. So LIfe goes on!

Wishing you and yours all the luck in the world and sending prayers for both of yours speedy recoveries. May you get to your goals soon. Be safe. You know we all are rooting for you.https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/heart.gif
