roberta Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I have felt like making some of the lovely blocks that I have seen, there are so many really pretty ones!, but I have so many extra blocks from my messing around and experimenting on the ones I sent out, I have enough for two quilts already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Unfortunately, as usual, I've gotten myself involved in so many things (block of the month and Jo Morton club) that I'm behind on everything. I wouldn't have time to make all the beautiful blocks that I've seen if I wanted to. My blocks will probably be the last ones everyone gets. I've also got the quilt from H... on my machine (I made it the quilt from H.... Instead of just doing an E2E, I had to turn it into custom. It's teaching me a lot but that's another story.) I'll stop whining now and go to work (The real job not the fun quilting one.... DARN....Opps, I said I'd stop whining SORRY) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GramieSnooks Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 To those who have my name---BEV HOGAN Somewhere the address is printed wrong, which might have something to do with my not getting blocks that have been mailed. I got a U2U from Susan Ramsey, thank you Susan, by the way. She wanted to check my address before mailing my block. It's 5254 NE 22nd Ave, Portland, Or, 97211 ---NOT NE 2ND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Coleen, you have plenty of time to get these done. Don't stress yet. It doesn't matter if they are the last ones we get, as long as we get them. LOL Send pictures of the quilt from H***.. Can't wait to see it. I''ll be you're doing a fabulous job on it. Oh, whining is okay:P. I do it all the time. Love YA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirabelle Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm with you Bev, I ony have 2 blocks but it may have something to do with no mail delivery for over a week. I am hoping that once our services start again I will have lots of surprises Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberta Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Karen - you should be getting mine anytime. You are the only one left (other than Laura who is on vacation for a month) who hasn't gotten one of my blocks. Susanne Hughes just got hers so I figure it can't be long...

Mirabelle Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi Roberta I will let you know, but I don't think I will be getting any mail service until at least next week and that is only if we do not get any more rain as predicted. Since last Monday the only way to my letter box for the postie was by boat. To give you an idea of our flooding situation, since the 1st January we have had more than 75 inches of rain with half of that falling in the first 8 days of February. Still not as bad as the bushfires in Victoria Cheers for now Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Holly W I received a beautiful Fan Block , good idea about including a map of the area you live in. That now makes my total 8 blocks - half a quilt - and only five weeks into a swap. I am really enjoying this. Lyn Crump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyfox Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have six beautiful blocks. What a blessing! Can not wait to receive the rest of the squishy envelopes. They are all like Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liz2075 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi I got a block today from Sylvia in MS. Our post office is actually pretty good. I got it LOL. I like it a lot Sylvia! And I'm so happy it made it to me. My son is amazed and said well those zipcodes are great...Everyone has my zipcode right...so I think eventually I'll get most. Thank you very much Sylvia!

liz2075 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Bev Hogan you are on my list and i'm correcting your address. Is there anyone who wants to send me a message with a corrected name or address please? I'll be mailing mine very soon. I've got to decide which are mailers...LOL don't ask how many blocks I've made now. Oh this block looks better...NO wait I really like this one...So when none of the blocks you get match the ones your friends got don't be shocked. Also please let me know if your state , name , address or anything is wrong... I didn't even bother to look for mine...For example, when Sylvia put Elizabeth in ILLinois if you look over to left you will notice I'm not there. And if anyone would like my real name I think it's in my profile. But I do notice with correct zip code we get them...sometimes later than earlier. I'm sorry Sylvia...I didn't know you were speaking to me. Also, I don't think my U2U go anywhere. I have sent a couple out...I don't think they were received...

roberta Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Karen - Oh my . I have heard of the troubles in Australia but I didn't realize they were that bad. I will keep you all in my thoughts. Wow, that is alot of water. I hope it dries out for you soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hey, Liz 7025! I am delighted you got my block! Isn't it fun to go to get the post and one is there? Sorry for the confusion but I am glad the zip was correct if nothing else was! I think I even had your name spelled wrong, didn't I? Someone said you had sickness in your family so I hope all is well by now. I have learned if you have Jesus and your health; you have everything!

liz2075 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 OH WOW I must have brought in Saturdays mail???? I really don't know LOL. But my son just brought in more mail!!! I GOT ANOTHER BLOCK! TY Ty ty ty Trish. Ok , so I realize it was a short trip from you to me... This block is soooo nice....Of course, I'm sitting here trying to analyze the puzzle. I have several of the same fabric. I bought some of mine at a little quilt shop there in Indy. I was thinking about where I found this shop but i'm not at all sure now. It has a long arm quilter in it. It's really not such a little shop. I'm really torn what I want to do with these blocks. Everyone else thinks I should make a big quilt. I want to take them all and put three borders on each one....One border about 1.4 inch and make coordinating mini blocks. Then quilt and bind each and hang this side by side all the way along the top in my quilting room...where there are open spaces. Thanks Trish wowzee 2 so close! Is this heaven yet? Lol editing...didn't mean to hit the enter button...I already have plans for Sylvias...MINI 9 patches....trying to come up with a coordinating one for each one... Those blocks will be 1 1.4-- maybe i could try 2 or even 3 inch finished...so I'm thinking maybe 3 plain or strip then one block...toss and repeat... If I do 3 inch I could do all 9 patch blocks...hmmm OK sorry thinking aloud here! Maybe for yours Trish, I could do your middle of 4 triangles.?.? Hmmm LOl Thanks again...

chickenscratch Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Okay, to everybody > I'm sorry if you have an incorrect address for Elizabeth. I was never sent any other address than the one in Marion, IN; so therefore I could not send a new address on to you. Secondly, Elizabeth, would you please email me your CORRECT address so I can fix the problem. Also, have you not received any other blocks? SEveral were mailed to your Marion, IN address in December. We need to know if we need to make replacements or what I hope your husband is feeling better. Sorry he was so ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthieq Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I received a beautiful block today from Trish McComas, who lives just 60 miles from me. Small world, isn't it? Thank you Trish. That makes 9 blocks received by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hey gang, I'm away from home so I can't check the post office. BUT, I have my little sewing machine and I've finished four blocks! Yeah! I hope to have another dozen finished before we go home on Wednesday. I'm working in the evening after working all day so it's going well. At least up here I don't have housekeeping, phone, washing, cooking, etc. to distract me. Maybe, just maybe I'll have them ready to mail before the end of the week. Get ready! Also, I ran out of the first fabric I bought so I'm using another. I won't take time to offer a choice--been there, done that. Don't have time to read the poll results. I'm having fun making them and receiving them. Thank you again Teresa for organizing this, and I'm sorry you're having issues. We live, and we learn. and things just keep getting better.

Saundra Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I received two blocks today, making my total 8. I received a wonderful fan block from Holly. Thank you for the pictures, map and little gold token. Such a beautiful place to live. I also received a from Gerri in Alberta Canada. I really like the colors you chose, especially the flower fabric, and that is one of my favorite blocks. Thank you both again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
