    OK someone stop me! I am a addict! I swear, I am having sooo much fun, but I am done I believe. I have a lot of sets I am going to send off. I am so excited, I have always wanted a halloween quilt and this is such the perfect solution! All the varities of blocks are going to be awesome. Here are some more photos of what I have done.[ATTACH=CONFIG]348364[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]348365[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]348366[/ATTACH]The houses are 9.5 x 9.5, the pumpkins with cats are 6.5 x 6.5 and the headstones are 6.5 x 9.5. I have to finish stitching the fences on the headstones, those are so much fun!! I am going to leave the headstone blank so whoever gets them can put whatever they want on them. I made 12 of each, except the pumpkins, there is six in the candycorn background and 6 of the pumpkin background.

    Love your blocks, have to say the tombstone ones are my favs!! Its funny, (well funny is not the right word..) anyways, when my dad passed away I really did not want my mom to put her name on the headstone like a lot of people do...it is less expensive, but I told her I would rather pay the extra later, I just didn't want to see her name there...I know that may seem odd to some, and I agree I am rather "quirky"..lol...So, thats why I say its "funny" that I think it would be great to get one of your headstone blocks and "personalize" it....I think I would probably put some kind of rhyming little ditty on it...Anyways great blocks! And thanks for listening to all of my "rambling"...
    Regards,

    Hi everyone!!

    We are creeping up to the final due date for this swap. Your blocks should be to me by July 31st. Still plenty of time to get some last minute sewing in and mail priority mail to me!! I know many of you said you have mailed, I will check my PO Box mid-week next week and send out PMs to any I receive. I will also send a reminder PM to those whom I haven't received. I don't want anyone to miss out on this great swap!! If you need my address again, just shoot me a PM.

    If you have enjoyed how I run my swaps, I would love it if any of you joined either (or both!) of my new swaps!! They can be found here:

    Funky Transportation Swap
    Be My Funky Valentine Swap

    Cheers!!

    I put my blocks in the mail on Wednesday. I have a Monster I started couple of years ago and I have joined a new character challenge to work on getting him into a finished project. Here is a link to the challenge. I hope some of you other monster lovers will join us... the character doesnt have to be a monster but so far its starting out with Monsters.
