Thank you for all the good wishes and sweet treats sent for my special day. I dashed home from teaching my morning class today and went directly to the mailbox. Then I scampered inside to my basket of envelopes and began opening all of the treasures. What fun! Surprises and so many beauties!
I think I will do as one of this group did last year and make a quilt with each square being pieces from one of the participants. I have a pattern in hand (wink, wink) that will work beautifully. This will be a good use of 2.5s and will still give me plenty of left-overs for other projects.

Oh, and I have a second version of our mystery partially finished, forgot about that. Tee-Hee, will it ever end? Nope and I am glad my fabric is still multiplying when I turn off the lights and close the door. It gives me lots of opportunities to share quilts with others.
I am so glad I joined this swap and have kept swapping year after year. What fun it has been! I have found a passion for these little treats. Thanks, Barbara.
