gsleader Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Wow after the long week end I went to my mail box and had two squishy packages for me. One from Laura Hendrickson with a beautiful blue block with curves and postcards from North Dakota. Both were very cute. The other from Suzanne Hughes in Australia which contanined a wonderful lavendar block and book on Koala bears. I will definately start reading that when I get off work today. Thanks to both of you.

Marlette Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Laura Hendrickson, thanks for the beautifully stitched block! That's really unusual muslin...finer weave than I've seen before and a little heavier weight. I like it. Where did you buy it? Thanks too for the postcards! We'll probably be driving through ND on our way home from MT in Sept. Sure hope it doesn't snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamelaA Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I got another squishy yesterday. It was from Dianne Brodin. I really like the purple fabric and yes it will go great with my other blocks. I guess I had better start thinking about layouts and sashing fabrics now. This is going to be a very special quilt. Thank-you all that sent your blocks.

I hope we don't have snow in Sept either. But one never know here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingjunky Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Laura Hendrickson and Susanne Hughes, Thank you for the beautiful blocks. I love the colors and the skill. Thanks for the great Koala book and the post cards. I only have one more to go and I have them all! Yahoo, now I just have to figure out what to do to make it look cool.

Hollyrw Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Here is a preview of how I'm setting my blocks. I made alternating blocks that frame the swap blocks. The X's will carry out into the border like the example on the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirabelle Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Holly that looks fabulous,:o as if it was planned from the start. I am still trying to decide how to put mine together, I guess I first have to figure out how big I want it and go from there. Happy quilting Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyrw Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thanks Karen. Originally I was going to do sashing with little 9 patch corner stones using the pink and green but I saw a sampler quilt like this the other day on a blog and liked it.

chickenscratch Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I HAVE 16!!! I'm so excited. This is the FIRST time I've received all my exchange blocks. And Holly, I love that setting. Mind if I copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have also seen vintage quilts with that pink and green fabric/colors. I'm asking from an historical viewpoint, "Were feed sacks made of that material and that's all they had, or was it just a poplular color?" Holly, did you use quilter's cotton? What manufacturer? I haven't been out much lately to see what's new. BTW Congratulations Teresa! YOU DESERVE THOSE BLOCKS! My thanks to all on your list for completing your blocks for Teresa!

I would be honored Actually I found it here http://pamkittymorning.blogspot.com/ in the entry for may 21st (8th picture down) so I can't really take credit for it.

Hollyrw Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Bonnie, yes it's a quilters cotton. I don't remember the manufacturer. I bought it a few years ago. I don't think both pieces are from the same company though. The green is a looser weave than the pink. If I were to go looking for some I would probably get Kona cotton solids. Here's some. http://www.hancocks-paducah.com/ItemList--Robert-Kaufman-Fabrics-Kona-Cotton-Solids--m-1755 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Now that I think about it, I saw something similar at Grandma's Attic in Dallas, Oregon. They have a lot of reproduction fabrics, 30's etc. And there were some solids in red, green, etc. Sew Oregon shop hop is coming up the end of June. Maybe I'll find it then. Thanks for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I am still waiting to hear from about 5-6 people to make sure that they got their blocks from me. I don't have my list in front of me but I think a couple were going to California, some to the mid-west, maybe one to Texas. They were mailed directly from the post office on the 19th or 20th so they should have arrived by now. Please let me know if they haven't arrived by the end of this week, for who ever is due a block from me. I am still expecting one block but I think it is enroute. I am planning on setting mine with alternating plain muslin blocks so that I can use my new Circle Lord that I purchased at MQX. It's still in the box, how sad is that.

celia Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Sorry, I spoke too soon, I am still missing a block from Shannon Kratochvil. Regardless, I have enough since Cindy L. was so gracious and sent 3:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
