Sneek Peek for Coleen

Coleen,

I hope you like it! It's the first time I've tried this type of block!

2012?

ERROR!!!!!!

This was supposed to be posted over at Let's Bee Together!  Can you tell my head was somewhere else when I posted this?  Sorry for the confusion.  Block Swap Adventure will continue on next year just the same way it has.  Thanks for your responses.

I need to have everyone let me know if you are interested in continuing the swap for another year.  Just drop me a line and tell me if you would or wouldn't like to go for another year by the 1st of December.  I will then figure out if we have enough people to at least make one group.

Thanks,

Linda G

We Will Be Swapping!

The votes are in and we WILL be swapping in December.  I will be sending out swap partner information early because of Thanksgiving.  Everyone will receive an email by the end of the day on Wednesday.

On another note......if you wish to stop participating in our swap group, please have the courtesy to contact me and let me know.  You don't even have to give me a reason as to why you are leaving.  If you just drop without notification not only makes it hard on me but is not fair to your assigned swap partner.  And please don't wait to drop until the day that partner information is being sent out.  Of course, if you are reading this, you probably aren't one of those that seemed to have dropped off the ends of the earth - lol.

Hugs,

From Shannon to Pam

Hello Pam. I dropped your block in the mail yesterday. This is not a very good sneak peek. The camera just would not pick up the colors right. I hope you like it when you get it.

A peek and a show off!

And here is a show off of all of my blocks so far. It also shows a few made by my partners in the Embroidery Bee on Flickr and a few I have made also.

Thank you to all my partners who been partners with me so far! You all are wonderfully talented and have made some lovely blocks!

Special Thanks to my block swapers for you patience for my delay in getting your blocks done. Also sorry for not posting pictures and thankful you have. I have thought about it long and hard and if it is alright with everyone I would like to go another year. I will try my best to do better on being on time. Oh and communicating too.
