Got into the office today and there were my lovely blocks just waiting for me to look at them. Thank you all for the wonderful blocks. Then RW, wow, the extra surprise is awesome. Thank you so much for going thru all the work and effort. Thanks Mariposa as well. We know you are a pro and RW is right there with ya. How wonderful these are and will make Marlena's quilt just delightful. I did shop in Montana and found some nice fabric for filler and no sales tax plus cheaper than home. Was wonderful to shop the variety of stores in Montana.

You're welcome! When my DH retires, we're moving to Montana...have you been to Glacier Quilts in Kalispell?


QuilterMomma 11-26-2012 11:10 AM

No I haven't. Went to Billings and there is a new quilt shop there, you can shop online also, called Four Winds Quilting. She carries some really nice batiks and some contemporary fabric that I have not seen around here. Quilting Bee is close, but she has such a large selection, and the other quilt shops don't carry it. I am going to have to look for some football fabric here or another orange for the broncos quilt I have to make, yep a UFO, but needs done for neighbor who is leaving for the military overseas again, third time in three years. Big bummer.

I looked thru my blocks again to paruse the imagination of hwo to put these these together and loving the selection. I especially admire the pieced blocks. So glad I got some of those to go with the applique and embroidery ones. will post photo asap.

Well, with headache and all... here is my swap. (Not counting my own blocks)... Thank you to all who's blocks I got. I wanted to list all of you, but my head hurts so much. If you see your block, I appreciate you! They are in no peticular order I think I stacked them by size and then just did what I could to fit them in this space for a pic.

Hope to see others pics too! [ATTACH=CONFIG]378670[/ATTACH]

rwquilts 11-27-2012 06:55 AM

Oh my...they do look so great when they're all spread out like you guys are doing and taking pictures...obviously I couldn't spread them out this way when swapping, so this is super fun to see. Thank you for posting pictures you guys!

QuilterMomma 11-27-2012 08:30 AM

Mine are already on the wall being assembled into a quilt. My daughter was so excited to see them when she picked me up from work. She had to look thru them all while I went to get medicine for other daughter who caught that ugly cold/flu stuff. So when we got home, out came the design wall and up went the blocks. She picked and choose thru them all. Don't worry, they all will be going into the quilt one way or another because I love them all. She commented that it was really hard to arrange them to make them all work. RW, she just loved the extras you sent. What does not go on front will go on back so will end up a two sided quilt, I think with last years and this years blocks, I will get a queen sized quilt out of it. The fabric I found in Montana is just perfect with the colors I received in. The penguins are just so perfect!. i will post photo when done. Not much time this week and lots to get done. Have to hit that mark of completed ufos. Thanks for the help on this one.

Brandy 11-27-2012 08:34 AM

Awesome blocks wish I had made the time and joined the fun!

owlvamp 11-27-2012 07:10 PM

There's a lot of nice blocks I would love to get like the Santa suit, stocking, present, candy jar etc.. Is there anyone wanting to do a side swap?. If so please pm me.

kensington 11-28-2012 08:21 AM

Nevermind...

I can't. I started to do a few, but after committing to doing two, my shoulder blew and I realized my Dr meant it when he said stay off the machine until spring. I may have to give up the computer too. :0( But, I know that "letsquilt" has some blocks she wants to swap. I hope you will contact her. She has a couple, I got one of her in the Swap and it's really nice! Send her a PM!

owlvamp 11-28-2012 09:19 AM

Thanks I do hope your shoulder gets better and do listen to the doctor. Sometimes they know what they are saying.LOL

marytoddliz 11-30-2012 09:11 AM

I got them! Yesterday! they put them in the wrong PO BOX~ But thankfully I got them! i love them so much... I will be back later to properly thank everyone. RWQuilts... You do the best SWAPS! OK I really have to run~ Falling behind on getting stuff ready for Christmas Craft Fair, starts tomorrow! Yikes~

I will swap with any one who wants but send me a PM as I am behind on reading the boards!

Good luck with your Christmas Craft Fair! So glad you got your blocks! I've had some of my mail mis-directed as well in the past...makes a person wonder, but so glad you got your goodies!

So sorry Kensington to hear about your shoulder! Don't mess around with the body...at a certain point, I'm discovering it sort of starts falling apart! I have knee surgery upcoming here soon and just got home from the dentist doing a root canal and re cementing some bridge work...shiesh! When's a girl supposed to sew I ask you?????

kensington 11-30-2012 12:41 PM

No kidding! I have to get a filling next week also. LOL. I tidied up the craft/sewing room today and just put everything away as best as I could so I won't be tempted to sew before my time. Which will be in the spring. If I am good and don't use my shoulder for sewing or lifting at all. But, I am happy I got everything done I intended for this year. LOL. The saddest part is I just bought my new Janome 4120 and was really loving it!

owlvamp 12-01-2012 10:09 AM

Been there done that. I love getting my teeth worked on. LOL

kensington I hope you feel better and recover fast.

urgodschild2 12-02-2012 06:31 PM

Home from down under and sooooo jet lagged. I feel like a zombie. But I want you all to know that I got my squares and i love them all. Thank you everyone.
