| Are fabrics to be washed and pressed before cutting out charm squares? Do you send more than one square to each person? |

I haven't gotten the list yet but am sizing up my stash. This is such fun! A quilt made of all these charm squares will be so meaningful.
Happy Wishes! |

Wouldn't it be fun if we post pics of our finished quilts or wall hangings from the charm squares? So others can see!

Thanks Aunt Jenny! Your squares and buttons arrived today. What adorable prints! I love them! Made my sun-shiney day even sunnier!
Just wondering what pattern you all are planning to use for your quilt ?

Jenny, got my squares from you yesterday and thank you!! Such fun and cute prints! I think I"m making a lap quilt with all of mine, a simple row of squares from all my farm girls everywhere will keep me warm in so many ways! And while hunting in a local flea market looking for buttons, I found a cute quilt holder with a shelf for only $2, just perfect for a lap quilt, it's hanging on the wall with antispation.....

Carol C,
Thanks for the charm squares and the buttons. They came in yesterday's mail. I loved the paisleys (I recently read "The Persian Pickle Club") and the extra holiday prints. What a beautiful bunch of fabrics! I'm looking forward to creating with them this winter.

Hi katie-ell!
I have no idea how many are now on the list at MaryJane's for the charm square exchange. The list that was in circulation before MJF's said they'd help organize had 13 on it, but plan on at least a few more than that and hopefully you'll be off to a good start. I'm planning to send to the remainder of the addresses that are on MJF's completed list as soon as MJF's provides them to us. Hope this helps!
Jane
