I got my package yesterday which was a great pick me up since I had a hospice client pass away. I can't wait to start another I spy. I myself like the small prints for the edges. Thanks all for the great fabrics.

I think I only received a couple this time that were so thin they were not usuable. This is also the first time that I didn't receive any just florals. I thought it was a great swap- thanks so much! Thanks for doing such a great job Rena!

I think that I will say that if there is an easily recognizable object in the square - it is ok.

I was so thankful for the great hospice staff we had when my mom was terminal. Treated mom with the dignity she deserved while being so supportive for our family. I know it has to be really hard for you though, but thank you for the work you do.

Hope going through the new squares gave you a bit of an escape!

Has anyone not received their package yet? I can check the tracking info for you.

Here are some pouches I made from the squares received in the I Spy swap (may be a few from previous swaps, too). :) The larger ones are sized to be pencil cases, and the smaller ones fit most cell phones. They're good for any small items, though, such as medicine/vitamins, makeup, small toys, sewing supplies, etc. :) The larger ones take 4 charm squares (plus liner fabric) to make, and the smaller ones take 3 charm squares (plus liner fabric). They all have padding inside. Wish I could post a tutorial, but the assembly technique came from a Craftsy class, and is probably copyrighted. Here's a link: https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/class...-zip-way/58909

Moonrise - that is a fantastic idea. Thank you

I received mine in the mail on the way out of town. I can receive emails, but cannot send them where I was. I am tickled pink with the blocks I received.

moonrise, you constantly amaze me with your talent!!!

Aw, thanks, y'all! :) My fingers are sore now, from turning them all right-side-out! LOL! :D I've got another batch ready to go, but had to order some zippers, so I'm waiting on them to arrive.

Those pounces are wonderful. I need to find the craftsy tutorial and make a few of those for my nieces and nephews!
