Okay Everybody,, Your blocks are on their way!!!
You should have seen me at the post office this morning.. I had all the envelopes in a milk crate looking basket and I kept pulling them out one by one to get mailed. I held up the line too and was quite embarassed. But they all get out with the exception of
Ambrickl---whose will go tomorrow now that I have her address
and
Ewequilt's whose address I cannot find! AARRGHH
I don't know if I dare show my face again at the PO tomorrow, but for 2 packages it shouldn't be too bad. I'm mailing my Charms to Lee tomorrow too!
So, if you all would let me know when you receive the blocks, I'd really appreciate it. I counted everybody's twice to make sure that y'all had 16 blocks and no dups,,,, but if I ended up short for anybody PLEASE let me know!.
Enjoy! They are beautiful!
Maryq

Oh, Mary. I received the blocks today, Carol doing the happy dance, they are so beautiful. This was my first swap but will not be my last. I feel like I am getting to know everyone and to be able to put a name with the blocks is great. Thank you for hosting the swap, I know it was a lot of work. Carol

I received my blocks today also. Each block is so beautiful and the colors are so amazing, even DD#3 and DH were commenting on how nice they were. I will have to get the set of extra blocks that I made and see how I am going to group them together. I will have to decide if I want to make one large quilt or some smaller lap quilts. This is going to be so much fun.

Got my blocks today! They are really gorgeous. Will need to take some time over the weekend to figure out how to put them together.

WOW, those blocks sure got there FAST! Glad you like them all and I hope I got everybody a good assortment with no dups! Don't forget, if you're short one, let me know. I haven't counted up to see what I have "left over". I mean, I think I have the 16 for me, but who knows what's in my very un-organized pile!
Sure was fun! But I'm glad it's over!! HA HA HA HA

I got my beautiful Christmas blocks yesterday and they were wonderful! It was so amazing that there were no duplicate fabrics and some of the name tags were awesome! This was so much fun and I'll be sure to do it again. Thanks Mary for doing a wonderful job on this swap. Now to put them all together!

I got mine in the mail Friday and they are just beautiful! All of you did such a nice job on your blocks. It was so smart for those of you who put name tags on yours. I will remember to do that myself next time. If you have one without a tag, check in the photo section where I posted a pick of all of my blocks-it is under sharing Christmas block swap I think. Thanks to Maryq for you hard work-I really appreciate it!
