LOL i guess you are right there not having to go back for awhile to the post office.

I keep trying to upload my blocks but they keep failing. i usually dont have a problem. Is there anyone else having a problem?

I believe my pictures are to big. So will have to have daughter resend them to me.
Will try tomorrow hopefuly if not wont be till Monday.
I have four sets done one all cut out and need to sew. And the last need to put a border around it for the block ended up smaller than I realized. I actually have a few extras that i wouldnt use for the swap because didnt turn out like I want them too. Its been a tremendous leaning experience for me.

Thanks for the links. I will go check them out.

hwy those are so cool looking, love the red onw looks like peppermints for eyes lol

ok its me again , i will do another set of reg blocks and 2 of the twists, love this , and got my cupcake blocks all 25 of them turned down, did not meet the expectations of the hostess, are other members , did not know it was such a hooty tooty swap not on QB a different site , think i will stay with QB, i love it over here , and i am proud of my blocks, anyone wanna see and tell me waht they think, i will take all critizizim, honest , i think i really need to redo a couple of them , but hey they were wopposed to be any style u wanted and bright colors, oh well, love my owls and will make some more and a little different , got a different pattern, so cute

Awe I am so sorry that happened to. Yes the swaps are suppose to be opened up all levels. I know I don't meet most of these ladies at all. They are so wonderful to me and me seeing what they do keeps me trying. I may be trying the rest of my life but at least alls we can say is we did our best. ALL levels are welcomed here. Also anyone joining needs to understand we are all at our own levels. Like I think dhanke is so much higher than me. But she is so wonderful to play with a amateur like me. But I give my all 150% at what I do.

Please show me your cupcake blocks. Either here or send to my e-mail.

Okay ladies lovngrandma wants to know if she can add embellishments to her owl blocks she is going to make? I said I honestly don't care but I don't use a long arm either. So what do you all think of that. I figured she could just add a Baggie to each block so we could put it on ourselves. Let us know what you think okay.

I like embellishments and please attach mine. I'll just free motion around them.

I would like mine attached too I can work around them. I just know some don't like working around them.

k ladies so i get them right if u need the embelishemnts in a baggie message me , otherwise i will attach them, please thank u, and here are teh cup cake blocks 25 of them,[ATTACH=CONFIG]398844[/ATTACH]here is the snowman the little one built , after the second snow, [ATTACH=CONFIG]398845[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]398846[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]398847[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]398848[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]398849[/ATTACH]

Adorable blocks!

I really like the ones in the second picture. I can see there's a few you could redo but when they say all levels are welcomed then they should of all been excepted.my levels are not up to a lot here on the board but I have never had any sent back. Either they were good enough or to polite to say they stunk. I have actually seen many of my blocks in quilts. as long as you do your best. I think one is interesting in its own way. Don't let them get you down . Keep your head held high and keep on going.

Okay back to the owls.
I had my daughter resend the pictures and hoping to get to them today. Just having a slow start.
How are all yours coming?

Thank you dhanke!

How is everyone doing with their owls? How many of us are swapping?

I'm getting busy. Will have another operation again in the middle of the month.

I will get back to you on how many is swapping but here are some of my blocks.

Here is a few more blocks I will be swapping . I hope you like them.

This is where i gave up on the pin wheel and decided to the triagles in blocks and they ended up to small so now I will add border to them.
The first picture with the two blocks i will be swapping.

Second picture--Just palying around with the triangles.
My really poor attempt of the pin wheel i will not show. But heres the third and second one. The third one is the best. Pictures are in wrong place.

ok for anyone who wants to see a prisiner owl look at post 62 the new ones will be a lighter black not as bold but more like a true jailbird, lol, thank u fo rswaping,

The prisoner owl is just too cute. Can't wait to see it in person. How's it going ladies on the blocks. I finished up another set over the weekend. Needed to add borders and need to just touch up on the last set. So I am ready for all the owl blocks .....

The last one will have the wiggly eyes in a separate baggie so you can attach them after quilting.

The 9-1/2" square white owl on black fabric looks better in person. There are shades of white and gray, but it all just looks white in the photo.

Edited: Whoopsie! Sorry about the huge photos! You can see the lint and everything! ;) he he

Moonrise, I especially like all the applique and embrodery owls. You did a great job! I sure hope I get one of each.

Moonrise, your blocks are wonderful! I hope I get one of each too! My favorite is the little guy on the dark blue night sky background, it would be perfect for a baby quilt I'm working on.

Wow! Love your blocks. You all did wonderful.

oh moonrise they are wonderful, nad yes i like the dark blue sky one, but my fav is the cunky one, are orientl one, day sky, and ohh love the sound of wiggle eyes, had not thought of that , almost done with mine, doing hadnwork on the faces so cool,

Received blocks from dhanke. They are absolutely beautiful in person. Love the wings on them.
