I sent out emails with swap partner information for January today (Thursday).  I know it's a few days early but with Christmas being the day I would normally send out the info I didn't think anybody would mind.  If you think you were overlooked for the January swap, please contact me.

As we bring in the New Year, please remember to communicate with your swap partner.  We have lost a couple of members this month because of their disappointment in lack of communication and blocks not received.  Let's all try to make a resolution to be considerate of our swap partners.  If you are running a little behind, just drop your partner a quick email and let them know.  If, for some unforeseen reason, you can not make your block, please let both me and your partner know immediately. 

I look forward to the coming year being a great success for Block Swap Adventure!

Hugs,

Linda G



First Block for Melissa made ;-)

The Cricket was on the TV, and I was able to spend some time in my sewing room ;-)

I made up the block for my January partner - Melissa who asked for a Centennial Tree Block with scrappy leaves - I was a bit overwhelmed when I first saw the instructions - it was rated with 3 PINS difficulty level !!!  ;-)

here is a snippet

It was a very challenging block to make - lots of cutting and squaring up - but I am really pleased with how it eventually turned out.  I hope Melissa likes it.  I am intending to get it in the mail today or tomorrow.

EDITED:   Block has been posted 5 January 2011

That's it for me - back to the real world today with washing and ironing ;-)

Two More Sneak Peeks

Because of a partner assignment error this month, I am making three blocks to swap with three different partners.  I have no one to blame but myself - *sigh*.  It can only be easier next month.  So I'm going to share two more sneak  peeks with you.......

This is a sneak peek of the block I made for Sue.  She requested autumn tones in the block of my choice. 

This is a block for Shannon, my original January swap partner.  She listed a selection of four blocks but left the colors up to me.  Don't worry Shannon, the colors aren't as pastel as they appear in this picture. 

Both of these blocks will go out in tomorrow's mail but with the way the postal system is overloaded right now, probably won't reach you until some time next week.

I will be sending out emails with partner assignments on Monday, December 20th for January's block swap.
