Autograph Block Swap

[cathiesue]

Finished mine and know Mary is almost done. We will be shipping this week, well Mary will be shipping them as I am off to Greece. Don't worry your all coming! I'm taking my iPad.

Wow! Hope you have a wonderful time! Are you visiting any fabric or yarn shops while your are there? Because live chickens are hard to bring home as souveniers. ha ha ha
Photos please!

I have to say every swap has taught me something so far...autumn fabrics arent just brown, they're a rainbow, nested seams are addictive as they're so satisying, and quick piecing triangles..wow!

Thanks!


Btw greece ..Fabulous! Living vicariously

don't worry RustyHen lots of time, I made it to the airport in Greece once can't remember where I was going or coming from I was a young lady at the time.

@Kassaundra I hope they have not made it to one of my "safe places never to be found again" hate it when I do that

Had a painful but blessedly brief marker mishap. I'll be mailing on the 15th or so. There was crying.

Argh! I am so scared of that happening, I realised maybe I should have autographed the pieces before I sewed them in ...
I read somewhere there are no mistakes they are merely embellishment opportunities

My blocks are sewn,(yahhhhhhhhhh) but what did you all write in yours ? ?

Don't want to muck it up now.
( And the only pen I could get is sooooo fine too, I could write a novel on that huge space with it )
( oooooo0000oooo quilt idea ..!)

Anyway, I found this one terrifying but the end results were satisfying. Cant wait to see yours!

Mine say my name the year, and my city / state

Thanks Kassaundra
Might write it on in pencil first

I printed mine on paper then placed the paper behind the fabric taped to the window ( hillbilly light box) and traced it using that pattern.

I'm going to be able to mail mine on the 15th too! Yay, finally finished them today. I had a slight misshapp on one, the tip of the pen jammed between threads, and made a blot, I'll mark it so katsdar can send it back to me, and I'll repair it then.

Oooo good idea! I have a lightbox like that too!
I saw a cool one on pinterest made with an eco bulb in a cliptop lunchbox... eco bulb was led so not hot.
