Cogito and I also swapped little quilts this month in black/white/red color combination. My little package arrived today and I am in awe of the gorgeous quilt Cogito made for me showing the 'windmills' of Iowa and balloons representing the balloon festivals held there. I had to hold it away so I wouldn't drool too much on the fabrics she used LOL
And then I turned it over and started drooling again at the musical fabric and her 'self portrait' - Nurse InCOGnITO
And then I started drooling again as she had included oh so many beautiful red/white and black/white fabrics for me....no more sewing for me this afternoon I will be spending the arvo gazing lovingly at my little quilt and 'patting' my fabrics.
So here is photos for you to 'drool' over too..... Cogito you are a wonderful swap partner. Let's do this again soon !!!
July was also my birthday month and I was such a lucky gal to receive two quilts.... THANK YOU !

So glad you like your black/white/red quilt Lyn! For those of you out there that don't know, Iowa is 3rd in the nation for wind energy production so those "windmills are actually known as wind turbines.
I thought the back of the quilt was a perfect representation of me since I am a piano player and lover/collector of many musical instruments....don't ask how many!
But the best was....my self-portrait! I am a nurse and since many of you call me COGNITO vs COGITO (sorta rhymes with Mosquito, but with emphasis on the "Mo") I thought it would be perfect to be....INCOGNITO! So I am Incognito Cogito!. Oh and btw, I did work as a surgical nurse before going into a leadership position.

Adorable quilt. Not sure why that woman has been silenced, but it sure is interesting.
Has anyone been in touch with EagleOneOwl2U2? She is DebbyG's partner for July and has not been in touch. *sigh* It's Lisa's problem now.
Add YankeeGirl to the MIA list. She is Tam...Moo's partner.
Miss Lisa ... can you please help these ladies? Maybe DebbyG and Tam...Moo should send to each other? I think that's a good solution!
