November 15th Quilt Swap

[FeyRaine]

Please PM me address and best mailer to use. I should be sending out tomorrow priority mail so Wednesday looks good! Just putting the last horizontal row on tonight. Sorry been plagued with illness. Migraines are my biggest problem but last week got chewed out by my cardiologist who told me I was lucky I hadn't had a stroke with how high my Bp was. He started me on two new Bp meds that should help my migraines, too.

Also do I send 16 or did we end up with less than that? I'm so excited to see everyone's. Mine aren't perfect but I have definitely learned a lot.

Sorry you haven't been well; hope new meds resolve everything!

Woohoo you have done your very 1st time ever set of quilt blocks

& the swappers go wild w/ excitement as the swap is complete and we think of how best to stalk our POdelivery person, this time not for eggs but for *Quilt Blocks* , very exciting stuff!

Wonderful so glad you were able to finish you will be so happy with these blocks and perfect is not necessary, sorry to hear you have not been feeling well, hopefully your new meds will kick in and work wonders. The mailer that we seem to use the most is this one pictured, pm'd you my address.
This mailer comes with tracking and insurance included in the price, so what ever it costs for you to send your blocks to me that is the amount of postage you put on your return envelope. We have a total of 12 swappers so you need to send 12 blocks, those that sent more blocks your extra blocks will be returned to you.

Awww shuks, I think I'm blushing now. I'm gonna have warm fuzzies every time I see this quilt.

This is my first ever swap and ya'll my blocks aren't "perfect" either, but this quilt is going to be a perfect reminder that a group of basically strangers can come together to do a project, help each other along the way, creating both new bonds of friendship as well as something(s) of utility and tangible beauty in this world.

Thanks to each and every one of you, (including members who had to bow out along the way). This first quilt swap will be a great memory for me forever!

The sailboats are done. It's a curtain! I still have two windows left but I'll get to them eventually.

HH, hope the new meds work. I gave up and just go the natural route for the most part but I don't have a more serious combo issue like that.

@FeyRaine I'm so glad you decided to join us. You will have to post a pic of your quilt when you get it done.


Ladies the blocks are sorted and just waiting on the 2 sets to arrive will finish stuffing and will ship will let you know your tracking numbers by zip. WOW are these pretty blocks or what, oh I forgot you haven't seen them yet!!!

I'm so bad

I was thinking of doing a friendship block swap, this is a 12 block swap and only 12 people can be in it because of the block but it has a place where you put your name and where your from. Maybe for a future swap. What do you think?

Great choice of curtains for the sail boats, you will get the stainglass effect all the time then!

Great idea katsdar. My mother has one from the 1930's, she says that it's like a trip through her childhood to read the names on it.
