Renae Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi Cheryl, I am new here but I would love to do the block exchange, sounds like fun. My birthday is Dec. 19th, I love purple, dark to light, with very dark blues. I am going to leave the block design up to the maker but I like 100% cotton and I would like the block signed and dated down in the right hand corner of the block. Please email me for my address.........renaeg@cableone.net Renae Gamel Quilting Quarters Norfolk, Nebraska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renae Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Cheryl, I forgot to tell you I would like the block to be 10 inches.......I got to thinking I didn't want to confuse anyone about the colors so if you don't want to use the purples and blues together you don't have to, you can use either dark blue or purple. It will be a mixture of both colors. Gone Quilting, Renae Gamel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renae Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Bettyann and Ramona, I am also new to EVERYTHING here so I just thought the best way to get started was to just dive in and the birthday blocks sound fun to do so I thought I would like participate and get to know some of the girls like you. I just got my Milli and named her Neena and am getting used to her right now and also expanding my quilting room so everything is a total mess!!! We tore one wall out and put up another wall so we had to repaint EVERYTHING of course.........LOL. But I am just now getting things back in shape......I do have some quilting I have to have done for a client BEFORE Christmas so I can't wait to much longer. I seem to be talking a lot....tell me about yourselves. If you would like to email me my address is renaeg@cableone.net and we can talk that way and get to know each other in a more personal way.

Bekah Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I think for this exchange I am going to request something totally different. I will leave the color up to the sender along with the pattern for the block but I would like to have tropical prints or flowers for the fabric any size block just to make this doubly interesting bday is 12/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
