2015/16 birthday swap...candy style 2.5"
#1951
We have Rosemary's birthday this week, and Janice's next week... and that's it for this year's swap! Hope these two ladies who have waited so long for their turn will have all their candies by their birthdays.
Wonder if we will have any March birthdays to start off the next swap?

Hello Everyone ~
I just rec'd notice from Barb over the weekend that I'm in for the 2016 ~ 2017 year of candies! My board name is onaemtnest as you can see by my Avitar. But, please call me Onalee.
onaemtnest~ is on a empty nest although it has been several years since we tore up the nest when kids left for the Air Force and college respectfully, we still enjoy our empty nest status.
There is another Onalee with Quilting Board she is Onalee Rose. Onalee Rose is from Michigan and the only other Onalee I have ever met and it was via the Quilting Board and she too told me that I was the first Onalee she'd ever met and we're both .... well let's just say well seasoned humans on this highway called life.
I look forward to chatting with all on the swap, learning, laughing and sharing. I tend to get long winded at times. I so enjoy making new friends especially those that share our love of this fiber art called quilting.
Quilting? Which still confounds my husband that the process of cutting up perfectly fine fabrics just to sew it all back together again is logical. He however is my biggest fan and supporter and never begrudges my fabric purchases, gadgets and various things that I'm sure will make me a more proficient piecer (at least out loud he doesn't complain :0). He did sympathize with the movers when they groaned with the comment, "What another box for the sewing room?"
So "Hey there from Onalee in Idaho"

Oh my goodness! I just discovered the Word of Envelopes! Went to Amazon to see if there were any envelopes for this swap. I will make some cute cards. Retired art teacher/craftsy/ etc. It was hard to choose between bright yellow, magenta, or lime green! Cheers, Dotty

Went downstairs to clean up my sewing space today and got off to a really good start until......I hit the 2 1/2" square pile that needed to be put away. Naturally I had to look at them somemore and then an idea just popped in my head. Started sewing 4 X 4 then thought what would this look like??? Going to put it together like a "Storm at Sea"and see what it looks like.....Maybe a 4 x 4 pattern at first, before I get carried away. Now is the time I need a program to do this....oh well
