DQ Swap
 

So thankful that your eyes are ok. I've always said that I'd rather lose anything than my eyesight. Got my DQ from buslady today. I love the vibrant colors. The picture doesn't really do the color justice. I also love the simple Amish pattern. Thank you for the notebook and clips.... I can never have too many notebooks. Going to display my doll quilt with my little Amish dolls that I got in Shipshewana IN a few weeks ago. Thank you all for letting me join in this month. It was so much fun that I'm getting ready to sign up for next month! I CANNOT get this picture to upload so I will keep trying.

DQ Swap
 

Am going to try to post this picture again.

Very nice quilt!! Love the brights in a true Amish pattern.

I received such a sweet quilt from 978gray today. I LOVE it! I also received some great fat quarters. Thanks 978gray for being a great partner. It's been alot of fun. I have enjoyed see all the different quilts, they are all terrific.

Sorry lost my picture, I'll try again.

Ladies, I am enjoying all the beautiful quilts posted. I am just loving all the different things done with solids and black. I am so inspired by them all. :)

Trying picture again.--------Holy cow I need a DRINK!!!!!!!!

LOL, :) That is just too funny!! You did it!! LOL:)

Krystyna, so glad your eyesight is back to normal and hope it stays that way.

Yes, I have been remiss in not mailing my DQ yet (hanging my head in shame), but have been making slow but steady progress, and have hopes of completing it by the end of the weekend. Lisa has been more than patient with me; I hope she will judge it worth the wait.

I to am guilty. My dq is finished just can't seem to get to the post office. I am now getting ready for Issac so if i am not on for a few days that means Issac has hit and we are without power. but i promish to get my dq out next week. All my friends in Fla. be safe.

I mailed mine to Lynnie25 almost three weeks ago and it still has not arrived.:thumbdown: I am beginning to get worried because hers to me got here in just a over a week. Darn slow post from the US to get to Australia.

[QUOTE=Nancy in Louisiana;5464379]Nancy - Actually we didn't get to see the city of Vancouver - we were on Vancouver island, across the Salish Sea. We saw Vancouver (city) from the ferry going across though. My DH didn't want to go to the city - he works too often in NYC and has more than his fill of skyscrapers and traffic and crowds.
Why we would have loved to see the Belugas though! Must be some amazing aquarium! Hope you had a great trip!

Near Tofino (on the far side of the island) some lucky folks fishing saw a baby humpack and it breached right by their boat. I think he was just getting a good long look at the odd creatures above the water. It was on the Seattle news and I found a link on the internet. The folks in the boat were filming and caught the whole event. If you love whales you have to take a look at this! An experience of a lifetime!

OMG that whale was CLOSE!!!!

As yet have not kept my promise to post a picture of the dq I sent Juanita Bean...will do so as soon as possible. The interesting thing is that, except for color, we made the same quilts....hope to post soon. All the quilts coming in are lovely.

I got my beautiful DQ from BJolly today. It is beautiful. Didnt have my camera, and hung it on the wall at the office for a couple days. Want everyone to see the beauty! Will get a picture tomorrow and post it. Thank you sew much bjolly!

Brenda21 and debbyg so glad to hear from you both ..... your packages will be in the mail tomorrow ....
hope you guys like the little quilts .... If your on facebook look me up .... let me know when you get the packages ...
Happy Quilting ...... CQR

My hubby is mailing mine today to Handi, so I really hope she likes what I sent her.

Has anyone heard from Nina Lemon?

Here they are, as promised. This is the DQ I received from BJolly yesterday. Take note of the little quilted Amish boy and girl in two of the black triangles and the flowers in the other two. The label is a design in itself, such a professional look to it! Didn't BJolly do a wonderful job? I love it!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Oh, the picture just does not do justice to the beautiful color choices!!!

Barb, what a sweet little quilt. Buslady, you must be thrilled! :thumbup:

Lisa, it's on it's way today.

Krystyna,

I will be sending mine out as soon as Tam...moo sends me her address.

Nana Val

BJolly, sweet Amish DQ especially the embroidery of the children. Wonderful!

I have not been on this thread for a bit, busy busy busy. I just love how you all have stuck to the amish theme so well. some very pretty quilts going to some blessed receivers. Thanks Krystyna, we appreciate all that you do for the swap.

YEA! Can't wait to see it! Thanks Kris. How is your shoulder feeling?? I hope better!

Bright little quilt made by Bjolly! The simple lines in amish quilts make them so interesting! Great job, everyone!

val can't wait for you to get to the volunteer state!!!!!! I am looking forward to sewing with you again!! safe travels, you are braver than I am!!

Bjolly, I love the pattern and colors you used. So calming. And I love your label also. Very very pretty.

Oh where oh where can my little DQ be... DragonflyNana I am officially harassing the postie :) :)

Lynnie25 - I am so sorry that this is taking so long to get to you.
The US Post Office was of no help what so ever. It seem that on my International shipment receipt the number is just a transaction # and not the tracking that I asked for! Arrgh - I like the machines better - they do what you tell them unlike some counter people who do what they want - but we can't use them for international shipments.
We are at the mercy of the postal system but if it does not arrive before you head for the mainland visit - I will make you another one and send it via UPS - I know they will get it to you!

Do you want me to post a picture so you can see what you are supposed to have by now?

It didn't come in today's mail but the poor postie was battling strong winds and heavy rain so probably wasn't in the mood to leave a squishy...oh well tomorrow maybe. Let's wait another few days as I like the surprise. I don't head to the mainland for another couple of weeks and it should have arrived by then.

I can't believe it is the start of spring here on Saturday when really we are just beginning to get our bad winter weather - rain, snow, rain, snow :(
