International Fabric Swap - Sign-up will close on January 5, 2012
#1012
Hi, I have been reading comments about pens from Australia. I sent pens to be sent with each of my FQ's but havent heard about them. Perhaps with all the FQ's and parcels they got mixed up?? Easy to do with the number of swappers in the swap !! Any way, Hope who ever got a pen liked them. They had Australian designs on them.
Cheers, Jodie.

Here I go again--trying to post a picture. Wish me luck.
I think I did it!
Here is the top I made using all the FQs I received in the swap. I added 1 piece of fabric I'd bought in the Bahamas years ago and a piece of the corn I sent to represent Illinois. I used the pattern "Ashley's Journey" from "Piece of Pie second edition" byPie Plate Patterns. I cut a 10" piece from each fabric and will use the rest of the FQ in various other projects.
I wanted a quilt for myself incorporating all the fabrics I received. The backing will be fabric my brother & SIL brought back for me from American Samoa. I'm still thinking about how I want to arrange the labels on the back. I'm working on the quilting now & will post pictures when it is finished.

Hi Jodie -
I received one of your pens and love it. I forgot to mention it because as soon as I opened my squishie it went directly into my purse so no one could abscond with it. People have noticed it everytime I've brought it out to use I love that it's refillable, so I expect to have it until I've worn all the printing off and it's so old the cap has cracked and the duck tape has given up on the barrel Thank you for such a wonderful item to remember my first fabric swap by!
Hugs
