Hi everyone - as Patrice stated I will be taking over the responsibilities for this swap. So please send any questions or issues to me. Please Get Well Soon Bonnie.

Also Bonnie and I decided to extend the completion and mailing date for this swap until March 25th. Please continue to finish and mail projects that are completed ASAP. The extention came as a result of 1) February was a short month and 2) some swappers have not even finished January projects yet. Therefore March sign up will be delayed until clean up is finished and anyone not completing projects from former months will not be allowed to sign up.

Please keep me informed of any mailing and receipt of gifts so info will be accurate. Thanks for your support.

My thanks to Dream56 for taking over for me. Found some time to pop in and say I hope everybody is coming along well on their projects. I will get back to mine as soon as I can a) not see double and/or b) I can see out of two eyes instead of only one.

I look forward to seeing what everybody gets.

Hi Bonnie! Hope you are feeling better.

Don't forget to PM me when you mail & receive your items.
Also we all love seeing those pictures.

Keep a watch for March sign up this week.

The Quilting in the New Year March sign up has been posted:

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-104169-1.htm#2658153

Sign up deadline is March 15th
Miling deadline will be April 25th

Glad that you were able to offer March and could keep it going. Thanks Dee.

It's been quiet around here- does that mean everyone is busy working on projects?
Reminder - mailing deadline is now March 25th, so everyone will have time to complete their projects.
If anyone has any WIP pictures - we would love to see them.

I sent mine on Monday--It arrived yesterday, I hope Bonni is well enough to pick it up.

She is waiting anxiously - she'll find a way there. Can't wait to see it.

Hi Everybody:

I just wanted to say that I'm on my way to the post office now. I hope it is there. I LOVE getting packages. I am feeling better and have started to take a stitch or two now. My eye has decided to flush itself at odd periods of time. I've been told this is natural for it but it sure is inconvenient when I want to stitch. :)

Will report back in a bit (after I get back from the post office).

HUGS everybody.

You all are a great support system.

It came!!!! It came!!!! Ok, can you tell that today is a good day? I received both the January AND February swap (from two different partners of course). Thanks Rose Anne (Rehrensberger). I LOVE those colors, as you can imagine. Wait until you see yours! LOL. Great minds. Certainly great color palettes thought alike. Enough talk, time to show off your work. :)

Thanks again. I have it hanging up on my creative wall so that I can get inspiration from it while I stitch a little bit at a time.

Wow that is beautiful - I see those metallics you love too. Wow - what a great day for you Bonnie.
If two great swap gifts don't brighten you day - nothing will.

Yep today is one of the best days in a long time.

I finished my New Baltimore Album BOM center and can now concentrate on rehrensberger's present. Since Dee mentioned it had been quite, let me leave a clue for Rehrensberger as to what I'm doing. Here it is!

Hey that works - and yes rehrensberger - it really is a good clue. Kind of scary huh.

Remember - we love seeing the results. So many are starting to mail. Post pictures when you receive yours so we can all see these beautiful items.

Everyone is doing a fabulous job.

You don't know how much I need those new pot holders.
Mine are ones that my son made me for a birthday when he was little, he's twenty five now. They are pretty ratty.
I've already used the mug rug. The tissue holder is nice too, I will add that to my church purse.
Thanks so much, June

I love those! They look great. Can one have too many pot holders? i don't think so. Mug Rugs are cute too. I'm just getting into those this year. :)

Well done!

Oh so pretty - Great job. LOVE pictures.
Thanks for posting

Sorry to have been so quiet everybody. Even though I'm not in charge of the swaps, I want to once again thank Dream56 for stepping up.

I'm getting better but still am having problems seeing out of my right eye. I go back to the eye doctor this Friday.

I am starting to do some quilting again. Is everybody working on their projects? If not for the swap what else are you working on?

Bonni

Hey Rehrensberger! I'm working on your project. I found a cute charm that can go in the middle of it. Slowly but surely.

My wall hanging that you made me is hanging up on my wall at work. :)

I know January is long gone, so I figured I'd post the wallhanging from Quiltingbee12 that I received today that was from the January swap, here in Feb so you all can see it.

Thanks for the post. Love the pictures, especially the red one you sent. It would be so pretty sitting on my table since I have a round kitchen table. LOL

I love those color combinations! Nicely done.

here is the swap for feb from frostbaa
stipplequeen

Very nice - love the bright colors.
Great job frostbaa

I love those colors and that pattern on the material on the top is GREAT!

Nice stuff being done!

I received the most beautiful table runner and potholder today from PlainJane. I will try to post pictures this weekend.

Love seeing the pictures - please keep them coming.

I got to see this in live form today. OMG, it is so pretty! I may have to sneak into Bonni's house and take it when she isn't looking :)

Here is the beautiful tote that I received from my Feb quilting in the New Year swap partner. Isn't it pretty?

Kherrin thankyou it has arrived. I love it. Will post pics tonight so everyone can admire it as well

Love seeing everyone's swaps. Keep them coming.

Don't forget to sign up for March still 5 more days.

Last but not least. In fact best - thank you to Dotty (dotcomdtcm) for the lovely gift I received as a hostess gift. Thanks you so much for the fantastic pin cushion. No calories in this pin cushion. Love it so much. Thanks again.

That looks SO real.

I could just dip my spoon right in it

It looks that good in person too. Makes me hungry. LOL

Gday, Thanks Dream56, sign me up for March. I'll have another go. I do enjoy learning what others do. :)

Here is what I received from my swap partner Libby, so fun.

Great job - love it

Hey Bonnie, miss you here, hope you are feeling much better. Love this swap and so happy with everything. Kudo's to you and your co-coordinator.

Hugs
