Groovy Pieces

Morning All . . .

First and foremost: My utmost apologies to all you great ladies; I'm so sorry for the inconveniences that has been caused to you & your quilt projects. I'm glad to say all is well and all your 'babies' are enroute to their rightful homes.

I haven't been ignoring the QB - I needed to get caught up & get things right.

These past two weeks have been a true learning experience. I owned a $400 Janome in 2001 & sold it in 2012 - that machine was a workhorse & I never had more than one machine. That Janome gave me NO TROULBE & NOT A DAY IN THE SHOP. I pay 5 times as much for a machine with some bells and whistles, I don't expect any problems at all at the price I paid. Due to this experience, I was backed-up on all fronts; my paying customers off-line & online, ebay group, & the QBoard swaps.

If you allow me to swap with you all again, I promise to chose a super friendly pattern. I've really enjoyed swapping with you all & you ladies have turned me onto construction of the 'traditional' blocks & HSTs & the Delaware Quilt site is great. Never would have known about these things if not part of the QB.

Lesson Learned: I will invest in a back-up. OK. . . . enough chat . . . .Here's a preview of what's coming your way. . . GP

Groovy Pieces, Thanks for sewing the block for me! I've never seen the Friendship Star/Pinwheel pattern before. It's very interesting! Did you create it, or is there a tutorial online for it?

wow Groovy those are really nice. Looking forward for your squishies to get here.

Ok I am so excited to see what everyone's will look like and so I sit here looking at the ones that I have recieved so far and my brain goes..........maybe I could take each person's blocks and put them on my wall and I can get a sneak peek. LOL Then I realized if I did that I probably would get your blocks mixed up as to who sent them to you. So I am hoping all of you post a picture of your blocks together when you get them. They don't have to be sewn.

I filled up my album for this boom with our pictures. There was a limit of 100 (?) photos for an album. That doesn't seem to compute... so I guess there is a representation of our blocks, but not all of them... I thought I was getting them all as they were posted, but maybe I missed some or maybe some didn't get posted-- I have no idea and there's too many pages to look back through now! :-p

Givio . . . . , I just added a Carol Doak PPing pattern in the center. TheMamaHauser kinda' gave us creative license with the pattern choices and Americana fabric.
since I didn't have any Americana, chose a red batik & instead of a plain center, I decided to spruce it up with pieced center. . . . GP

Thank you. All the blocks are just gorgeous, and I second that motion for a picture of each persons blocks all together. Even if not sewn or put together the way uyou intend. Just so we can see them all together playing on the floor!! Thank you all for the fun swap.

I'm getting excited to get my pretties back!

I am still waiting for one more person. I have tried to contact that person and I have had no response back. Do you all want me to mail your packages minus the one?????? I don't know what to do. I hate to be holding these all up because one person has not mailed theirs. I am sure that things are not going well for that person.
