Keep shining!

Thank you, Sherry, Julie, Loretta & Christine for the adorable fabrics. Love them! And thank you for the notes as well!
Sherry, I love the little cards you include, and the yellow truck on the envelope made my day! Yellow is my favorite color! So creative!
Thank you all again!

Today was so exciting because I had three fabric envelopes!
Beth, I adore the barns with the barn quilts! Then the Apple tree, garden etc is cute too! Thanks.
Loretta, your chickens with the butterflies is so sweet, and the veggies made me hungry. Thanks.
Christine, like I said the other day...My grandpa had an old blue truck with the fading paint. The cab was small, so we three kids were told to sit down, be still, etc. It was a hot ride back there. I love the veggies on black. Thanks.

No fabric squares for me today. BOO HOO! Still missing 6 sets. I don't know why I haven't gotten Marie's. She sent them a long time ago, I think.

Way back after the previous 10" square swaps I hosted I posted pictures of several of my 10" square quilts. I'll see if I can find the link so you can get some ideas if you want.

Dianna, you sound better! More hopeful. Or is it, I can deal with this now!
I'm sorry you had such a difficult time in the beginning. Those first three or four days after a break are always painful...but seems to be less and less so after the bone gets stabelized!

Diana does Sara like to open your mail? Had loves to see what I got. The difference is now that she is almost 20, she asks me if she can open things. Of course I say yes. But I caution her to open carefully. She gets as I excited as I do about these fabric squares.

That's so awesome Marilyn! Sadly Sara could care less, lol! I've tried to interest her in all forms of creative art, she used to as a kid but the last 3 teen years she has no interest in anything like that. So I keep trying!!! :) Had sounds so previous! Is she the nurse??

Today, I received fabric in my box from Loretta, Julie, Sherry, Terri, and Joan. Thank you, all! I appreciate everyone, and the fabric is wonderful, too. Also, thank you for notes, stars and tea from anyone for whom I didn't mention in an earlier post. I hope everyone is doing well. It's been busy around here the past couple of weeks.
Keep shining!

The box was full today! WOO HOO! I received fabrics from Nat, Terri, Joan, and Marie. I love all the different fabrics - I haven't seen a lot of these at my fabric store. I'm trying to decide how to set these blocks. I think I know, just not sure what fabrics.

I mentioned to Dianna I would post some pictures of quilts (and tops) I've made with some of the 10" squares. Here are a few examples of possible borders and settings. I made these using the squares from the 2016-2018 swaps I hosted. So glad that Darlene started these up again.
LOL! I just realized - all of these are just quilt TOPS except for the music one that I gave to Ed's son and DIL for Christmas 2 years ago. I guess I need to get them quilted.
This was my Spring Florals quilt. 10" squares and bordered 5" squares from the 10" swap squares.
Christmas squares with shadow-box border seen in a quilt magazine. 
Christmnas Stars Bed Runner Quilt - 2 10" squares make 2 opposite stars.
If anyone wants the directions I can try to explain it to you; it isn't hard, just easier to show in person.
Travel squares in a quilt/tablecloth.
Musical squares in a quilt with stars in the corners of the sashing strips.
Used the fall squares and cut them in half and bordered a fall panel.

Dianna, no Had is the college student. Her sister is the nurse. Sara will come around...someday. Hormones do wreck havoc on young people.
