SWAP IS FULL!!
We have 12 participants.
12 inch block (measures 12 1/2 before adding it to your quilt top)
We will make one block for each that participate plus one for ourselves.
You can piece your blocks. You can appliqué your blocks. You can embroider your blocks. Which ever is your favorite method?
But please use a quality fabric. Nothing to thin.
Send your blocks direct to me along with some return postage. I will give you my address in a private email.
Blocks will be due in the mail by October 1st. I will swap them all out and return to you by October 9th.

Diana,
That is so beautiful!! I'm with Ruth, now I can't wait to put mine together. They all look so beautiful together. I think we did good ladies!! I also wish I could have signed up for the Christmas swap, but I just couldn't take it on right now. It will be fun to see what everyone does though!

Diana- Your quilt is beautiful! Mine is on the design wall still being arranged. I totally forgot to send a photo or label my blocks. I made the one in the bottom right corner. :) I love the thought that we all had a part in making your quilt.

Diana, That is gorgeous! I'm so jealous, I want to finish mine now. I was thinking about what I wanted to put between the blocks, still thinking ! I love the way it turned out!
I didn't sign up for the Christmas swap, too much going on, sure wish I could have though!
Thanks again for sharing!
Hugs, Ruth

Hi All,
Just returned from a trip to Canada to meet my 10th grandchild. (a little girl named Nevaeh Skye. She is beautiful) My mailbox was full and there were the most beautiful fall quilt blocks. You ladies outdid yourselves! Those blocks are just gorgeous! I am so glad I participated. Thank you to all.

I am glad everyone is receiving their blocks.
If you have not received them let me know and I will trackthem.
Also, keep checking your mailboxes because I still have that "little something" I need to send out to all my earlybird block makers.
Now off to see if there is still room at the Christmas Block swap....

Hi Girls, I received all the beautiful quilt blocks in the mail today - oh my goodness they are all wonderful - what a bunch of talented ladies is all I can say. The only thing is I wish I knew who made which block
Thanks for the ones with the little notes on them and the attached notes also!
Kathy, Thanks again for doing this swap - have to think about how to put it all together now!
Hugs, Ruth

I got my quilt blocks today and all I can say is wow they are all beautiful. Thank you so much to everyone who made the blocks. I can't wait until I get them pieced together. I'm going to make a throw for the back of my sofa from them. Again thank you to Kathy for doing the swap.

BLOCKS ARE IN THE MAIL!!!I think that you ladies in PA will receive them tomorrow. Everyone else should have them by Friday. Well all but Debbie. You may not see your untill next week.
Again thank you all so very much for joining my swap. I truly love to host these swaps. Everyone that joins are alway so kind and generous. I loved all your notes and little "extras" you sent me. Darlene, you will have to ask your sister if she knows me. I am an ASG member.(but I nave not attended a meeting in a number of months. I am trying to start a group here in town) I also attend a number of classes at StonyBrook.
I think all of our blocks looks great. Someone commented about hers fraying. Don't worry, that happens. When we put our blocks all together, the frey will be gone. But maybe you might want to use a little sizing when you iron your fabric. That can help a little.
I love to make quilt blocks. Most of them are put together to make a top. But that is as far as I get. I am not very good at quilting them. I like to send them out but that can be expensive. My dream is to one day own a long arm quilitng machine and frame. One day..
Thank you for the photos Ruth and Darlene. Its nice to meet you. I sent you all one of me too. Ruth, I love the weave you did. I was just at a quilt show in VA and seen a booth selling either the pattern or was it the rulers.
Please let me know when you all receive your blocks!

Starletta...You don't have to make a block for me either. You don't need to ask for forgiveness. We all understand. You handle whatever you need to do and blocks are way down on that list. Relax. Take a deep breath. We have all been there at sometime in our lives or will be. Praying for you and yours.
Kathy...Again...don't feel like you need to do the blocks. It's not fair to think you have to. You host a swap and things happen. All's well! If we have less blocks so what. Thanks for doing it in the first place.
Blessings and Peace,
Darlene

Starletta, Bless your heart - don't worry about sending me a block! Your plate is more than full and I want you to know that I'll be praying for you and your family. Life can be difficult, that is why God gave us "sister's" to help carry the load.
Please let me know if I can help in any way.
Kathy, Thanks so much for doing this swap. Please just send me whatever blocks you have and please don't make any to replace those not sent in to you. Whatever I get will be great!
Thanks again for doing this great swap!
Many hugs, Ruth

Hello ladies. I did get so far behind with these blocks due to so many misfortunes coming my way at once. My husband's hours and pay got cut in half so he and I both picked up second jobs. His mother became very ill and passed away and then my mother let me know that she is losing her house and has to be out by the end of October. I then found out that she has been hoarding and there is so much in that house to deal with. I do firmly intend to keep my commitment to you but absolutely became overwhelmed--some of the blocks are finished and ready and I'm doing one every evening to catch up. If you are comfortable with emailing me your address, I would like to mail them to you separately. I do so apologize and hope you can each forgive me. Thank you
