Susanri Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 January Babies I have made all your blocks and will mail them tm, I apologize for being late on a few but I just got some Birthday cards today. I do hope they are what you all wanted! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANUARY BABIES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraC Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 When someone request vintage fabric (Sue U.), does that mean civil war type stuff, or 30's repro...I hate to show my ignorance, just want to get it right! I have some Thimbleberries "vintage stitches", which I'm sure must be a good choice but I just wanted to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laststitchstudio Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I would love to hear from the people I made blocks for and see what all the other blocks look like. Please post your "block booty" Have been enjoying the making and giving...............................can't wait for the receiving. I've sent out 3 and have more to make today...toooo fun. I'm new.....got my Millie the end of Oct and have been reading all your emails. Thanks for all your generous help. Kate Meyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsurich Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Sandra, In my case vintage would be before the pastel 1920's fabric begin. Anything that just looks 1900 or before. I too throw some Thimbleberries into my Old stash. Apologies for being vague. Sue U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraC Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi Sue...you weren't vague, don't worry, I just wanted to know for sure. By the way, just finished your block and it turned out so cute I don't want to give it away!!! But I will ...probably send January's out early next week. I was wondering this week what I got myself into...I have guild block of the month (which is a very involved one this year!), doing a block of the month on my own (but it's really a section of the month approx 25x32), joined a Sudoku/quilt-do-ku group (9 month commitment), joined Thimbleberries group at LQS and I'm sure there is another but can't think of it at the moment. Now that I started the Birthday blocks I see how this will be a quick commitment each month and am so glad I joined. But when will I ever get time to do the ufo's that are waiting to be done in time for the quilt show???? I may have to stop passing out on the couch everynight at 7:30 See ya, Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi Sandra C. - I mailed a block to you on Jan. 3rd. Did you receive it? Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraC Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yes, Sandy.... I rec'd it on the 10th, thanks, I sent you a U2U but I guess I screwed up! Thank you...it was a lot of fun to walk out to the mailbox and find a block waiting for me. It also got me inspired to get started on making blocks for all the other January people...I'll probably mail them out at the start of next week.

Sandra Darlington Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi Sandra, Oh good! I'm so glad you got it. I was only able to make blocks for 4 January people so far, but I hope to make some more before the month is up. It is quite an undertaking/time committment, but I'm enjoying the process. It is helping me "grow" as a piecer. Hope you have a great birthday. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2qlt4u Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Happy Birthday January ladies. I have your blocks ready to mail, but need some mailing addresses.
