Hello everyone!
I am hosting a Signature/Friendship Quilt Block Exchange. If you are interested please join us. The quilt block example can be seen on this website: www.quilterscache.com/S/SignatureBlock.html
Rules:
1. Block size to be sent in will be 6 1/2".
2. The center piece of the block will be white or white on white only. The rest of the block can be what ever you like.
3. Print your name, city, and state and your username on the white portion of the block. It must be in black permanent marker or embroidered in black.
4. All blocks will be sent to me along with a self-addressed stamped envelope for your receiving blocks.
5. No embellishments.
6. You make 1 block for each person plus 1 block for yourself.
I will be taking sign-ups through April 15. Send-in date would be by April 30. I will email everyone with my name and address.
Good Luck Ladies!
P.S. Just a reminder...the directions make a 6 1/2 inch block. It states that it make a 6 inch block but that is when it is set into a quilt.

Dear Julie, You will probably feel a lot better after your surgery. I sure did. I fought having one for about 4 years and finally had to give in. You will be in our thots and prayers. Don't overdo if and when you have your surgery. Smiles, Beth
You can never be to kind! |

I have been collecting "squares" for a farmgirl quilt . . . some are the signature blocks from this swap and the others are the embroidered squares from another farmgirl swap. I plan on using both types in my farmgirl quilt. . . it will look wonderful!!

I am so sorry to hear about your possible hysterectomy. My step-mom is having the procedure done this June. I know that it can be scary.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I thank everyone concerning my health. It looks like I am headed down the path of a hysterectomy. The doctor wants to treat the large cysts on my ovaries first. On top of that, I have a very large uterus. The tests have not come back yet completely. In the mean time I take pain medicine. I thank God that my child bearing years are over. Let me restate that, Thank God I am done having children. Again, "Thank You" to everyone that has inquired about my health.

As long as I have people that are interested in joining the swaps...I will have them. I know I said a large wallhanging for my front porch. But, what I really desire is a large quilt for my bed. I plan on embroidering the signatures with black embroidery thread so it won't fade if I wash it. Right now I have a total of 22 blocks so it will be awhile before I have enough for a large quilt. I am so glad that everyone is enjoying the blocks that they receive.
