Hi Kathy,
Thanks for the ongoing support on this project. I'm new at quilting- terrifed of putting the whole thing together at the end!
Sooo great that your daughter enjoyed the Haflingers! I'm pretty partial to the myself. " golden chunky heart stealers", a friend said!
Haflingers- You can't have just one!
( I'm just one short of a drill team!) |

Hi there,
Just wondering where we are at in this swap. Did you receive mine Julie??? When you return mine, please just drop it off in the metered mail slot. They might give you trouble regarding the metered date on the postage. Some do, some don't.
Have a good day!

Just bumping this to the top. Now that swaps have there own section.
I can't wait to see all the different blocks we will each receive. These will make a nice scrappy quilt top.

Patiently waiting, I can't wait to get started!I'm hoping to have it completed to put in my Glamper for Farm Fair this year.
I'm up for another block swap sometime later in the spring.

Oh, I'm so excited!!! I have always loved Friendship quilts, but have never had one of my own! Thanks to my farm girl friends I will have two! :)
Can't wait to see what all the blocks look like and to put it all together!
Thanks Julie for all your hard work in this swap!

Hello Ladies,
There was a total of 19 people in the swap... down from the original 24. I have all the blocks ready to send out except there are 5 people that haven't sent their blocks to me. I will be emailing the other 5 and asking if they plan on sending their blocks. This will delay sending out the blocks to everyone. This is the list of people I have received blocks from so far. Please let me know if you are still planning on sending your blocks in. I plan on sending out the blocks on Saturday the 27th of March.

Kathy -
I love scrappy quilts. Last year I made 5 scrappy quilts: a Christmas using blocks from at least 4 different swaps, a 9-patch from a swap, another 9-patch from the same swap, a kitty quilt using swap blocks, and a scrappy BOM (I didn't make all blocks but put together what I had). I've got more kitty blocks, jar blocks, Christmas blocks, 9-patches,and others to make into quilts this year. I am currently in a swap for scrappy stripped blocks (my month to receive them is July, and I can't wait) and another for friendship star blocks. I, too, am determined to make quilts to use up some of my multitude of stash, since I hope to be moving to the country soon and cringe when I think of all my craft stuff that needs to be moved.

Julie,
Thank you once again for having the patience to be the "mother hen" in this swap. Its to bad you have to track people down. I think your final mail date give those stragglers more than enough time to communicate with you. Sometimes life happens but its nice if you let those depending on you in on it. Your doing a wonderful job and I look forward to recieving my blocks.
I sent 22 of each type, which it looks like was to many, will you send me back my extras? I sent my own blocks to you to! LOL
HUGS!!!

I can't remember how many I sent of each block, and I also sent my blocks. Please keep an extra set (if there is one) and send any extras back to me. Thanks!

Julie,
If you like, keep an extra set and send me back the extra. I can always use them in another scrap quilt. I think I sent you 25 of each.
And I agree too that Julie did a great job of hosting and giving us plenty time to get our blocks done. Julie has lots of patients. Unlike me when I host a swap. I have my whip in hand ready to start cracking.
(shhhhh.....by the way, I will be hosting a round robin in the hen house. If you want to join come on by. If we do not have enough participants, I will host it here in the farmgirl swap room starting sometime in April).

Good Morning Ladies,
Trust me...patience is not my virtue. But, I wanted this swap to be fun and with no stress. In addition, I wanted a lot of blocks. (hehehehe) But, spring is just around the corner for me and I would like to get this quilt done before the beautiful weather sets in. I heard from 2 people so far. One is sending in and one more is out. I will keep everyone updated.

I hate to inform everybody that there were only 14 people total that participated in the exchange. I waited until yesterday to send out the blocks. Thinking that some other blocks would be sent. I have returned the extra blocks to everyone. I had fun hosting the swap. But now I understand about the whip. hehehe I can't wait to see how everyone uses their blocks. I will be making a wall hanging for my porch. But then again I might host another one just to get more blocks. We will see...

I got my blocks today, Julie. Thank you SO much. It is sad that only 14 out of the original 24 followed through in their commitments to this swap. Thank you again for hosting it.
