Blue and Brown CW Sampler. HALF MAILED OTHERS TOMORROW.

[WeSignificant]

uhm - I was hoping someone had received their blocks.

[lorettav]

I haven't received my 2nd set of blocks yet. I really don't expect to.

[sewcarolyn]

I think she is done with this and those of us who didn't receive our blocks are out of luck. I am sad

[GardenGal]

Do you guys ever ask for swapper's phone numbers? If so was DJ in another hostess' swap ? When you send blocks do you provide a return envelope that is stamped and addressed back to you? Hey, I might be able to get a number. Let me do some checking.

This swap was originally hosted at the end of Dec of 2007 at QATW. The artwork above was done by me. I wish I would have known DJ was over here doing this. Maybe she will mail your blocks soon.

I just finished the quilting on this last month and told my sister to come and get it but that she would have to bind it. LOL

GG I may be wrong, but I kind of think Swtsarahjane had a phone number for DJ. Seems someone did but that she was not takinng calls? Can't remember. I think the Hostess needs the # from her Swappers and the Swappers needs a # from the Hostess too. Just in case. Is this how you do yours? Do you have a Co-Hostess? I would love to see your UGRR quilt. I didn't get in on this one. Sure thought about it & am now happy that I didn't. Am going to make one though after the Holidays are over. I think it will be an awesome learning experience. Just using these fabrics will be stepping out of the box for me. I love them but don't ever use them. Silly huh? lol

One crazy day I decided to make the DEAR JANE quilt. That got me started collecting CW reproduction and for some reason I just fell in love with it. I have lots of reproduction fabrics and have made a good deal of quilts from them. The BOM I offered in 2006 was made from them as well:

Now I can actually make scrappy quilts out of them. LOL

Many of my friends use brights but I just keep going back to these repros.

Happy Quilting.

gg- typing WAY past my bedtime.

GG that is a GORGEOUS Quilt!!!!! Luscious! Looks like I may need to start a new collection of fabrics. Just what I need. LOL YEAH!!!! Thank You for sharing.

Hugs

wow GG that is a beauty...I love the CW fabrics and wish I would have been one of the lucky ones to get my blocks back

[sadiedaisy1]

GardenGal, your quilts are beautiful! Your civil war sampler (like the one we did on this swap) is so much prettier than I imagined it would be all put together. It makes me sad that so many of us haven't received our blocks back to make this. I can't help but hope we'll still get them, but I think I'm probably being foolishly optimistic...only time will tell.

GG- Your quilt is stunning!!!! Thanks for sharing. I, too, am one of the swappers that got burned! Ouch! I bought enough fabric to make the entire quilt, but would have loved to have blocks made by my friends! Bummer Lesson learned. Off to the sewing machine!
