Linda,
I am swapping with Sheri so no worries. Hope you are feeling better. We all love you! As said in another post, we keep signing up as we love these swaps and you do a great job! I don't think any of us could do any better!
Glad you enjoyed that hideously name quilt shop. It isn't too far from me and I enjoy going there, she just keeps unusual hours. So yesterday I went to a different quilt shop near me for some fabric feeling therapy! Of course, I spent more than I wanted to but loved the fabrics!

Patchesnposies 03-04-2015 07:29 AM

Laurel, I love the birdies in the snow! SO sweet. Also the blue flowers with the green leaves on the end. Lucky you! Fabric therapy!

oneteappot 03-04-2015 07:49 AM

It does look like snow, but they are suppose to be flowers similar to the flowers in that top blue fabric. But I thought they all looked like spring yesterday. And we were having freezing rain at the time!

Patchesnposies 03-04-2015 08:25 AM

Laurel, oops! This is what happens when you try to read your laptop in bed without your spec's! lol

Even more beautiful! They DO look Spring-y!

Elisabrat 03-04-2015 09:02 AM

love those fabrics. the yellow bird fabric is adorable. who makes that one? you cant share fabrics without saying made by.. so we can all run out and get some! thank you btw for your kind words oneteapot. that is very sweet of you to say. next month I am going to do great I just know it. (pretend with me). promise!

Elisabrat 03-04-2015 09:10 AM

Let me revise that last comment. I want to thank all of you for your kind words. I appreciate it greatly. I feel rotten when I blow it I think really again?? how did that happen go read my sign ups go read the lists I post and still blow it. I am nominating one of you to help me sort this list and only this list. wait til you get that lucky email! it is a blast. I will give you all the names I have you will sort them and give them back. easy peazy stuff right? so run to your email now and see who was nominated! its once a month you will love it. I will take the backlash promise! lol. I don't mind the confused emails and the hey can I have a partner TOO? or its late to sign up but.. if you just understand its a bit of 'work' for me and are patient it all gets figured out and remember most of all.. its only fabric (oh sure say that to a bunch of fabricholics and watch what happens lol).

love you guys.

Elisabrat 03-04-2015 09:10 AM

The bird fabrics

oneteappot 03-04-2015 12:36 PM

Linda,
If you want a swap partner let me know!

kiffie2413 03-04-2015 01:29 PM

Linda,
Your pkgs are ready for me to take them and drop them by the post office, as soon as weather allows me out. My blazer has been parked for a month, waiting for dh to feel like fixing something that's wrong with the radiator. So I have to drive his pick-up..which I don't like to drive it.

But I can't recall if there's any wavy fabric, light, soft or otherwise in them.. I'll pm you and see for sure what you're wanting, if I have it, I'll carefully untape the box and squeeze it in.:thumbup:

Laurel,
All of your new fabric is darling!!

Kif

My packages went out today--hope everyone likes their fabric!

TPr9258 03-04-2015 06:06 PM

have everything ready to mail out but again the good Lord has thought that Jersey needs some more snow so another 12 inches coming tonight, so guess will have to wait till friday to mail out, does anyone want to come build a snow man, have a pot of vegetable soup and some fresh Irish soda bread, just come on over

I'll come on over and build a snowman, I think Idaho is done with snow (for now anyway) and have some soup & bread and pick my pkg. up. Seriously, don't worry about my pkg until the roads are safe!!!! Please. I'm not in a hurry and I know you are good for it, okakky? I don't want you to fall either, so stay inside where it's safe.

Elisabrat 03-05-2015 05:47 AM

Thanks oneteapot I wrote you a PM :)

ok also thank you for posting who made that bird fabric. it is so nice to find the actual maker of fabric so when you do a search and type in birds you know how many choices you will get . 100000 minimum takes a bit of time to sort til you find the one your looking for. this makes it so much easier.

Kiffie you are awesome wrote you also. thanks.

Now to changes that will occur next month. for sign ups and sign ups only (no complaints going to this person at all) you will be sending to Jaba. She will then sort and post the names. This way I wont mess up :).. Then I will take all complaints, you missed me's etc and the notices of who sent didn't send etc. this way in theory we will have a smooth and easy swap with no missed players. just a heads up will post it again so this is clear as can be.

Now coming over to build a snowman? um uh.. can I watch from the window inside while drinking hot tea instead? you guys run along outside and play in that freezing stuff. me.. think I will be inside as much as I can. I say this as I have to leave for dialysis shortly. outside. in the freezing hair. 10 degrees or less outside and no car heater. I can hardly wait. oh yeah I can .. lol but here I go again out on my own.. its the only road I've ever known (sing along with me).. upside when I come back I will take a marvelous nap underneath my down blanket as soon as I can jump onto that couch! if its cold inside I jump pretty quick.

Fiestypixy 03-05-2015 11:29 AM

No snow for us, but bi-polar Mother Nature is dropping the temperature 40-50 degrees in 24 hours. I am SOooooooo ready for Spring.

It's emptied!

Elisabrat 03-06-2015 07:07 AM

Now kiffie with that many wave and sky fabrics you surely have to do the round robin I am doing! come on over to the other side. do a wall hanging and you will feel much less guilty about all that wave and water fabric you have! grin. I love the one you sent me in PM. I see one wave (don't laugh) that is super mild and like softly rolling is exactly what I need. not the bigger waves just that one wave for the shoreline.. nothing like cutting a fabric up to high heaven. yuppers.

jaba 03-06-2015 07:20 AM

1000 bolts have bunches of water and sky fabric Linda, $4.95 yd. I think. They are under landscapes...just saw them yesterday and they are beautiful.

Received my floral FQs from jaba yesterday, here are the pics:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]512670[/ATTACH]

Elisabrat 03-06-2015 08:42 AM

wow what a selection of flowers. your own bouquet! wowsa. Love that yellow one!

I will check the site out thanks Jaba. I get stumped often these days lol. I like that price.. a lot. that is a really reasonable price on fabrics. Don't you love getting nice fabric at a good price? 12.95 just kills me. I think it was made by little golden elves. magic stuff. I recall also not caring and spending whatever I wanted on fabric. What an idea! lol but I do have a gift card that I received for Valentines day :) so going to check that out. I can do 4.95 a yard. oh yes I could ok for one or two but I still could lol.

Love ya!

You are so funny SheriR....Received these little beauties from bullock2us today! Ginger doesn't think they are spring flowers, I do, think they will make a beautiful runner or wall hanging. Thank you Ginger, I love them [ATTACH=CONFIG]512855[/ATTACH]

kiffie2413 03-07-2015 04:42 PM

Well I think they're all beautiful! Spring or not..

Brat,
Let's see..do I feel guilty for having lots of wavy swirly fabric??? Um, nope...sure don't..
Especially not if it entails me signing up for a round robin.. lol
Not that I'm opposed to round robins.. With dh, Mom, grandkids (my son is working out of state for at least 1 week, I'm helping ddil), and lastly my own crazy self, I'd end up "rockin' robin" I'm a-feared...:p

Besides, this way I can share every now and again...this month I am the post office's best customer...lol.

I managed to unseal 1 of your boxes and squeeze in a fq of that wave fabric. Consider it my contribution to your round robin;)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]512895[/ATTACH]Look at the beauties that I got from Jaba! I will have to find something fun to do with them-hmmm. Thanks again Jaba!

Elisabrat 03-08-2015 08:58 AM

Well thanks Kiff sure you don't want to PLAY that round robin lol.. if I ask her enough times she might just bend we will see. :) watch and find out for sure! lol.

I am bummed. my son sent me three things from Walmart. the pants arrived. very nice. but the dehydrator and the mystery gift did not. they were all delivered on the same day it says. how sad is that. upside is they are sending out the dehydrator to me priority so it should get here Monday tada now I can make some beef jerky! dried fruit! things that require nothing more than cutting and drying and that will be wonderful come the summer. I love dried fruit. easy to take to dialysis and well the price is right. I am very happy. it is a gift for my DH. how funny is that. that man doesn't cook unless its seriously the last choice. on earth lol. so its for me I know it! grin. ok ok back to fabric!

thank you for sharing the fat quarters your getting. this month seems people are sending a lot faster. yahoo! if anyone hasn't sent can you let me know and also when your planning to send so I can save that email in case your partner gets worried and have an answer for them when they write? muchas gracias!!!!
