UGC2,

Received Nurse Bonnie's Block today!...and I have to say it is a perfect addition to the Christmas Sampler Quilt. The quilt really needed more red and it came as I was sewing the last rows together! Thank you..nurse Bonnie.

Put me down for the next RAB in February. I have been working on my block making skills and they are coming up 12 1/2 pretty consistently! I learned what works for me when making "2" finished squares is to cut them at 2 5/8" not 2 1/2". When I am making half square triangle squares, I cut them 1 inch bigger than they will finish. After sewing together, I trim them to 5/8" bigger than they will finish. Seems to be working.

Loving this quilt!
Bee

Bee Beatty, I sure hope that nurse bonnie's gets to you. I just mailed them like reg. mail. No tracking. Whoops.
Do not hold your breath on getting the other one.

Thank-you Nurse Bonnie, your block will go nicely with my other blocks and blocks I will add to these to make a twin size quilt. I received my block from you earlier this week. Again thank-you very much.

I have my fabric back from nurse bonnie she was able to cut the pieces out of the block which is helpful. I truly understand life happens. I finished my third surgery in one week and it has worn me out. worse yet it didn't solve the problem of opening up my port so now I am on plan b. just not sure what that will be. I am getting a new doctor with a new idea at a new hospital so my options maybe are better. Crossing fingers and toes. about all I have energy for! one piece at a time. I still look forward to another swap this is a great group to work with and love the challenges that come to me. except those hard blocks lol I dread those a whole lot! lol. sorry but its true! the samples shown are great and wonderful to see. I should take a pic of mine to show you how cool it is. lots of kitties came back in this swap and they pair beautifully with the other blocks. a nice sashing and it is one great baby quilt! need more so now to find the fabric.. thinking monkeys will work. love that fabric its white pink and aqua. I know another baby girl quilt but trying to find a boys fabric I like as much. so far not so much luck. soon I will find it I know it!

I would like to sign up for the Feb. swap and Elisabrat I haven't chose my block yet but I promise it will not be a hard one, thinking Greek Cross or Perpetual Motion but have been know to change my mind quite easily

Hey everyone,
I received the last set of blocks from our missing person. I will be sending you back your material and it looks like only one block was done for one person.

Barb its ok. I am thankful for all that you have done for us. Hoping you find the energy to do this again. I know its overwhelming for you to do this and then end up with .. the troubles you get. Its unfair. Next swap please ask for a donation for angel mailings if needed. you can always stuff .50 back in the envelopes if you know it all works out but wouldn't it be nice to have that up front? food for thought. Everyone would donate I know they would.

What will be the name of the swap in Feb?

urgodschild2 12-22-2014 06:07 PM

sorry I haven't been checking to see if people have been signing in here. Been busy with life. LOL. The next swap will start in February and it will be called RAB #3.

Merry Christmas to one and all and hope the New Year is a good one.

Barb
