Tam moo and QuilterMomma,those are really wonderful quilts the two of you have created for each other! I love the colors and the designs in both of them. So happy you are both at rest now and can sit back and enjoy the rest of the show.
Me...I'm still plugging away on Sewnmom's quilt. I can only work for very limited amounts of time since my sternum still has not closed and healed up. Too much movement of the arms makes for a very long day/night. Still, I'm determined to finish the challenge to the best of my abilities. I so hope that Sewnmom thinks it was worth it in the end and loves the quilt I am making just for her. I think the top looks great, myself.

That is so beautiful. You really have a gem there Tam Moo. I love, love the 30 prints so much. The Sun Bonnet Sue fabrics are wonderful aren't they! Love the backing. I'm collecting Sun Bonnet Sues from a swap I was in and Fox Flower made me several that are originals she drew. These are very, very special to me since she drew them.

I sent my lap quilt out to Michigan yesterday and partner will receive on Monday, can't wait for her to get it. Partner also sent mine the same day. Talk about the Happy Dances going on, here on this board. Wasn't this a great swap Jillaine hosted for us all. She's such a sweet quilter to do this for all of us.
I will post my lap quilt I made after partner has seen it.

By the way quilters on this board, Fox Flower hasn't been posting because her PC is taking a break and refusing to run. I'm sure it won't be long before we hear from FF and all about her lap quilt.
Bye all, we have to calm ourselves to be able to see our wonderful lap quilts.

Oh how I know how you feel. I just had to do that to myself. Got mine out the next day just so I could open it. Now don't torture yourself to long Kim. It might get to your bladder.

Doing some analysis this morning of where the swap stands. Turns out that if your QB name starts with "T", you are more likely than anyone else in the swap to have lost your swap partner. Of the six pairs that "fell apart" because someone went MIA, FOUR left swappers with QB names starting with "T"! And those "T"s are also more likely to have completed a quilt for their MIA partners!

I'm still waiting to hear from one of those "T"s about if she's heard from her partner, and I've already got something in play for another "T", but I want ALL you "T's" to know that I am committed to finding you a quilt, and helping you find a home for the quilt you have completed for another quilter. And based on what's stored in my handy spreadsheet, there are two of you who might make good partners with each other!

I *think* everyone else is accounted for.

There are only a few of you still working away, but who have communicated with me and with each other your status. And that's all good.

In the meantime, keep posting photos!

Your swap-momma,
Jillaine
