No, you're not wrong, this is something on the side. Atleast, I think so.

Karen 06-19-2010 09:56 PM

There is a give away if want to play it is on the 1st page of this thread!

Deecee 06-19-2010 10:54 PM

Actually, if you look at page 1. now it is rather confusing with the 12-1/2" BOM details then going straight into the Themes for the 6" with no indication that this was a separate thing. I think it may need to be clarified.

You're right. I will forward this to Blueribbontoes.
Thanks.

Thank you DeeCee, I never really paid that much attention to it!

Go to http://blueribbontoesquiltingbee.blogspot.com/ to read about the 6 inch blocks.

AKANGEL,
Your block is heading home to you today!

Karen 06-21-2010 03:07 PM

76, Thank you so much for the beautiful blocks! I love them and will post asap!

ckcowl 06-21-2010 03:21 PM

have we started july sign-ups yet? i hope i didn't miss it...i certainly want to continue...
and if i didn't miss signups when will we know our july partners?
this topic is getting so big it's really getting hard to find anything in particular...i get frustrated going through 10-12 pages trying to figure out if a block was received or to let my partner know one has been sent...

Karen 06-21-2010 03:35 PM

CK I know you haven't missed getting your partner, MadeinMaine sends a PM with your partners info.

quiltingnonie 06-22-2010 05:45 AM

Am so sorry, 76 & Counting, that you need to drop out for awhile. One good thing .. summer is a good time to just lay back and take 'er easy 8-) Take care, and hopefully by Fall you will be rarin' to go!

I'm sorry it's so simple! I only just started doing more complicated blocks... As soon as I get my partners block done I'll make another one for you!!! (No trade required!)

Nancy in Louisiana 06-22-2010 10:59 AM

CyndiH -- Upon return from vacation, I found your block with all my accumulated mail. Yours will be sent out this week to your original address posted.

samroberts01 06-22-2010 04:54 PM

Who is in charge of this swap now??

Here are the June blocks that Mariah and I exchanged. She sent me the Square in a Square bee block and extra fabric. I sent her the other two blocks. Great fun for both of us!

Sometimes, bees show up in blocks I send out!

It's really not necessary. I knew you had just started when I agreed to swap. You did a good job on the 4-patch, and I like it. It is fun to see new quilters come on board and develop skills as they get brave and try something new. (I teach a small group of beginning quilters here, and my fun is watching the progression they grow through. It is exciting to see people get excited about quilting, my favorite activity.)

Thanks for swapping with me.

Probably, but I don't know it. I keep graph paper near my TV watching chair and doodle on it. However, I've don't think I have ever come up with anything that hasn't been done by someone else before! Thank you for asking though.

yes, I enlarged copyright free coloring book drawings and add details if I can't find an applique or pieced design I like. It doesn't take very long to do. moosegirl

That gingerbread house looks good enough to eat!

More fantastic blocks.

Alu, I haven't forgotten you, my baby(sewing machine) is in the hospital, have to go pick her up this afternoon, she's 65 miles away. But, they fixed her and she's ready to run.

Alu_Rathbone 06-23-2010 01:34 PM

I am unable to post any of the great blocks that I have received over the past few months. Camera is sick..... so, if you are swapping with me in the future, please feel free to take and post the pic. I will let you know when I can do so again. Thanks for understanding~ I have had some great blocks and I can't even share them!

Please forgive me, sdparent, Sandi, for taking so long to post the beautiful block you sent to me in May. I have really been pretty disfunctional -- especially in my quilting duties -- since I lost my mother in May.
I did PM you letting you know I received my block, but I do want to show everyone else how beautiful it is. I love it.
Thank you so much,
Katie Ann
