Sweet Somethings - A Dessert Block Swap--ON THE WAY HOME!!!

[buttercup]

Chriss and Carolyn, you are both amazing! I love all of your blocks! Pies galore, and a jar of candy to boot! How SWEET is that? Chriss, you're an angel for volunteering to make a second set!

Denise, can't wait to see yours, too. I'll be looking for them, but don't worry about the international postal service time element. The blocks weren't even due until August 1st, and I'm sure the package will get here in time for us to sort them and have everyone's blocks ready to mail back no later than August 15th.

I have half of my pies ironed on and need to sew them... 10 down 10 to go.... and it's only `11am.. woo hoo...

[sewcarolyn]

Chriss you are cranking I have 12 traced, 1 ironed on and 3 done...

[Marilynsgrammy]

I have 5 sewn, 5 ironed ready to be sewn... 10 ready to iron, cut and sew... I am a fourth of the way done.... my shoulders need a break but I will finish at least half today.... and hopefully get my charms cut.

Carolyn, yours are much more detailed than mine... I hope to have the hang of it someday.... but I am not disappointed with my first applique project....

I think I better get busy on my treats, only have 5 done. Tomorrow I get my butt in gear and get going on them or else no gingerbread men for me. LOL

[sewcarolyn]

Chriss I think yours are great my pie with the full crust only looks more detailed because I am using contrasting thread. Your are great!

Sharon glad you are beginning to dream of gingerbread

[Marilynsgrammy]

oooohhhhh, contrasting thread... gosh, I never thought of that.. now I see....

I have my second set of charms cut... and half of my blocks are finished.... I have 10 blocks to go but not today... hoping I get two done each day next week, otherwise I will have to finish it on the weekend.....
