Received CindyB's in the mail today, thanks so much for the little treat included, yum! Haven't heard anything from Grannysparlor yet, I just pm'd her to see where she's at.

All of the blocks are so pretty, they'll make a gorgeous Christmas quilt!

WooHoo - Doing the Happy Dance as much as my stiff neck will let me. See how much I love you guys. Getting to the Post Office was a trip. At least I didn't hit anybody. I just prayed noone was coming from my left. I couldn't turn my head. LOL. But they are in the mail - YEH!!!!!!!!!!

Here are the pictures. - No it is not your eyes. You do not need glasses. I forgot to get a close up of the block so this one is a little blurry because I cropped it. Sorry. Enjoy!

Teresa, they are beautiful! I only hope mine live up to everyone's expectations. I thought I had enough of my "white" only to discover that I had to do another trip to the LQS, how disappointing that was. lol

If anyone has heard from Grannysparlor, please let me know. I'd like to know how far her blocks are. I'd hate to think that we'd be down to 7? Hopefully I'll hear from her by Monday.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in my sewing room!!!

i agree joanne, it takes commitment and time, but it's been so worth it!! a fantastic outcome! they will all look 'sew' lovely together these blocks.
it has been a very quick swap, basically because of the time of year and it needed to be completed because of the run up to christmas is almost upon us.
there were a lot of points to match in these 2 blocks, but a great experience curve i think!
these ladies have done an amazing job!!
love jacquie xxxxx

Received Teresa's beautiful blocks in the mail today. Just wait till you see them, they're so pretty.

I'm giving Grannysparlor till Wednesday to contact me, or just in case there was a problem with the post office delivery.

If there isn't a word from her, they'll be sorted Wednesday afternoon & to the post office first thing on Thursday.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thanks to all that participated in this swap.
