Then this fun Fall one. I love Fall so this is perfect!! I think I am going to make a wall hanging out of this one.

Thank you Debbie, I love both of them!!

Block for Kathy

Hi Kathy,

I mailed out my block for you today. . . . hopefully you will get it before the end of the week.

Here's a pic:

I hope you like it & that it goes with the other blocks that you have received.

Happy Quilting,

Block for Raelene

Here is a teaser of my block for Raelene.  I wasn't sure what constituted a Japanese fabric, and Raelene said I could just do it black red and white.

Adorable!

Nancy made me the perfect child's block.  The Berenstain Bears were all fussy cut to fit into the squares!  I love the design.  Thank you so much, Nancy, for the block and for being a wonderful swap partner.

Hugs,

Linda G

September Block for Holly

Holly I saw your post of the block you are sending me and wanted to tell you Yes! Yes! I like it very much! Thank you!

Sneak Peek for Karyli from Ida

Karyli wanted a Red, White, and Blue.........but NOT patriotic block........or as she put it, "Think Sailboat Flags"...........I thought the blue looked a little like the water and I just liked the red and white........Hope it will be ok, Karyli, and that you like the block I'm sending soon...........

Block for Linda B.

Hi Linda,

Your block is on its way. Hope you like it!

Sept Block Teaser for Lana

Lana wanted some Spring colors. For me this is flowers. Specially Tulip colors. I lived in NYC , the concrete jungle. Moved to NJ at age thirteen and went into shock from how different the suburbs are. The quiet was deafening! Didn't sleep for 6 months. My mom planted Tulips that year. In the Spring the Forsythias and the Tulips bloomed. I had never seen flowers grow out of the ground or in the grass before. I was in awe. My grey life now had a riot of color in it.

Will be mailing out your block tomorrow!
Aileen from Florida

August block received; September block sent

Here's the awesome August block that I received from my partner, Karen in OR.  I requested a churndash block.  LOVE it!  Thanks, Karen.

 

Yesterday I sent my September block to my partner, Sherry in NJ.  Sorry, Sherry.  No sneak peek for you.  Sherry requested a block made with the Paper Pinwheel pattern on Quilter's Cache.  If I showed the sneak peek fabrics it would spoil the surprise for her since she already knows the block.  Check your mail, Sherry!  :)

Between Laurrie and Barbara

I was thrilled to find my block from Laurrie in yesterday's mail.  Didn't she do a great job on this?

This is my sixth block.  I would like to collect six more and then make a quilt from them.

This is the block I made for Laurrie this month.

I learned a new technique for making this kind of a block.  Thanks, Laurrie.  I enjoyed being your partner this month.

Sneak peek for Helen

 

Here is a peak at the fabrics that I chose for your block.

I will finish it today and post it tomorrow.

Welcome!!

Please help welcome a new member.  Julianne is joining us from California.  

Welcome!!

A Peek and Two Finishes

Nancy H asked me to post the following for her:

Linda, what!! throw that wonderful block away?? Never, ever! They are both a perfect start to a new color line for me. I'm sorry the one came out a little large- was it supposed to be a 12" finished block? It looks great anyway and I'll have a place for it!

Here are the pictures of the 2 blocks and a sneak peak at yours. It is finished, I just need to get it mailed and will the first of the week.

** Note from me (Linda)**  The first start block is the one that turned out too big.  I didn't check my 1" square before starting out on the paper piecing template.  It was supposed to be a 12" block but ended up measuring 13 1/4".  Lesson  learned!!  I can't wait to see the block Nancy is creating for me out of the adorable fabric!

Finally .. August swap done ...

Phew ... I have finally managed to get my swap for August completed .... seems like this one has taken forever to do .... 

My partner was Margaret T from Denham Springs LA .. in The States .... she asked for 'anything geometric' ... so I thought ... hmmmmm .... this ............

I hope it fits in with your other blocks Margaret .... I really had fun making this one ... 

I am opting out of the swaps for awhile ... my hubby and I are going to be doing a bit of traveling over the coming months ..... and I am not sure if I would be able to complete commitments ... 

But I have enjoyed swapping with you and love the blocks that I have received .... and one day ... I will make a quilt with them and pop back in to show you the little beauty ... 

thanks Linda for a great job organizing this fantastic event for us all ... and thanks girls .. you are a great group and I know I am going to miss this stuff .... but I will keep my eye on you all .. when I have internet connection ... 

From Sherry to Shannon

Thank you so much Sherry, I love it. You are right the blue does look like sky!!
