April, I didn't know about your HAB plight. I would be happy to share mine and make a few extra so you can still be part of this swap. It is so sad that you did the work and went to the expense. I can send you six from my set, you could do three for you and three for me, and I could do three for you and three for me, and we would each have one complete set; OR, I can just send six from my set and we can fill in with six blocks we make for ourselves. Sounds like a pretty good plan to me. How about you?
BrendaB
Oh Brenda that is so thoughtful of you! Would you want six different HAB? I have one that I made as a workup for my pattern and I can make 5 others using different fabrics or I can do a couple pieced and a couple hand appliqued? Thank you so much (I promise I will mail yours from my job PO!)
Send me a PM so we can chat about it :-)
Hugs
April

I got my balloons in the mail today! I am so thrilled with the blocks I got. Every one is cute, and I can see they'll go together nicely. I can't name a favorite, there are so many bright colors, beautiful block designs, and pretty fabrics.

Deb Thank You so much for all your hard work, you are such an incredible Stewardess for our flight!! I really enjoyed this.


P.S. April...I'm gonna make you a HAB also and send it to ya. I just hate hearing when this happens to people. I want you to have fun in the Flight with us.

I also tried to honor the requests that I saw on the thread for when you saw a particular block you liked. There was only one request I could not honor, as that block was already 'spoken for' by 11 others!

My blocks came today! Thanks to everyone, I LOVE all of my blocks!

There was no label on the last three blocks in the first pic, please let me if one belongs to you. ;-)

All of the blocks are so much prettier than these pics show. :)

A special thanks to Deb for her efforts. :D

As you can tell from some of the pics, we had such a great collection of the balloons. I love the creativity and the fabrics were just fabulous!

April, sending you a PM.

Thank you, again, Deb. You did a great job. :-)

Just got mine today. Thank you everyone. You all did such a nice job. Each is so different and interesting.

I recieved my blocks on Thursday, ( I have been away at a quilting retreat). Sorry I was unable to let you know sooner. I love each and all, and can't wait to put them all together.
a BIG THANKS for all you have done to make this swap a successful one. You sure do give a lot. Thanks again.
