Valerie,
I have used the same fine point pigma ink pen on 3 signature qult block
swaps and it hasn't run out of ink yet. Maybe you could take yours back?
I iron on the back side a piece of freezer paper, it holds the fabric taunt
so it doen't stretch out as much while I'm trying to write. Hope this helps.

Valerie...I have your squares! They are wonderful...I'm glad you made it through midterms so that you could join in with us!
Has anyone heard from Karen? I haven't had any response from her. This may mean that I will have to send you each one of your squares back with your other blocks. I will contact her again and hope to hear from her. Otherwise, I will put them all together and get them out early next week!
Thanks for your participation...you're going to love the blocks!

Oh I forgot my blocks are 11" so then can be trimmed down by the recipient as needed.

Carrie,
got my blocks today. Thanks so much. They are all incredible. It was fun to see where they all came from. I am on my way up to my friends quilt store to show them off. I have not yet been to the farm in Moscow but look forward to do so one day. I understand that it is pretty cool. Well, can't wait to get home to put these together. Thanks again for the great swap, you did a great job putting it together.

received my blocks today. It's fun to see all the different fabrics and where they blocks are from. I haven't decided how to put this together yet, but I want to practice some decorative embroidery first so it may be a while. Thanks everyone! Thanks Carrie for hosting this swap.

I received my blocks yesterday. Thanks so much everyone and for Carrier for the swap. I am waiting to see what a quilt guild swap comes up with, to see if perhaps I can put all of the blocks together to make one quilt.

I received my blocks on Friday and I am sooooo excited!! They are all so pretty. Thank you to all you ladies for doing this and making it so much fun! A HUGE thank you to Carrie for coordinating all this and hosting the swap!!! I am trying to decide how I want to arrange my blocks, I am thinking that I may make some more to set with them. Not sure though. Can't wait to start seeing the finished projects!
Thanks again!!

Just about finished with the quilt. I made one extra block and used it for the middle. I did 3 X 4 put them together with backing and batting. I am quilting the decrative stitches as the quilting. I think it will be pretty when finished. I will post pics as soon as I am done. Thanks for the inspiration.

I received the pieces a week or so ago. I have been having difficulty with an internet connection. We only live twelve miles from the state capital but we must figure otu how to access the internet on our own. We are too far out for cable. We had a little piece of plastic that looked like a thumb drive to be our connection but it broke several times. Now we have my-fi and hopefully will be more reliable.
The quilt pieces are very nice. I need to find time to sit down and figure out a pattern. I thought I would make another piece with Mary Jane's farm friends on it with the swap dates onit.
