Okay ladies -here we go. Partners are posted - we are shooting to have these in the mail by April 1st. Please e-mail your partner to exchange addresses etc. I haven't had time to put my pattern into word so I can e-mail it and I am so sorry but I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow, just worked 8 days straight, so I won't have time to do it till I get back on 3/12. Please check out the tutorials that have been listed, if you don't find something you like e-mail me again and I will send you the pattern when I get back ( so sorry ladies, just one of those months) Happy sewing everyone - have fun, and thanks for playing:) Oh and we had an uneven number so I'm doing two.

Thanks Karen! I love Vanna's Choice - that was Fern - probably is the same color! Her yarn is so nice considering it's affordable. Especially the Vanna's Choice Baby - great colors.

Thank you, Amanda for the adorable crocheted bag!!! The daisy soooo cute! You did a super duper job, much better than I could have! And was that Vanna's yarn? Cause I just finished knitting with that color for a pea pod for my new grandson! I swear it is the same color, I had to laugh.

 Glad you like it that much!! I can't take credit for making the baby quilt itself, though. No worries about making the bag for me. It just feels good to make someone happy, doesn't it all? Diana |

I have to drop out of this swap! Sorry gals....I was sick for weeks and slept most of the time...life caught up with me big time.
My partner is Sharilyn...can anyone swap with her too?
I will enjoy seeing some pics though.

I received the most beautiful bag from Robin today! It is huge with wonderful round handles. The colors are just right too. I am leaving for a Florida vacation in the morning and guess where the bag is going! Thanks so much Robin. Glad you received yours ok and that you were happy with it. It has been great fun participating in this swap!

You are all putting me to shame. I have been so busy but I will start and finish it tomorrow. Snow here again today...when oh, when will spring be here? Got my grandson this weekend so we were able to do some of the 'heavy chores' around here. At least my garage door is finally useable!

I am done! It was amazing to sew again. It's been years since I have sewn anything. I also made an apron out of an old quilted pillow sham I found at a thrift store just to make an apron with. It's so cute. Even with pockets, too. I used the back for the pockets.
So I will get this out to you Thurs. Nothing like the last minute to get a person motivated. I work much better under pressure. I e-mailed you about your address. It looked a little strange to me.
