BarbWetzel Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 HELP!! I can't keep up... I am getting so many blocks, and my birthday isn't until 9/09........... I am going to have to ask that no one send me any more blocks. I am going to take my name off of the list. I can't keep up. Thanks..

chickenscratch Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Barb, Don't take your name off the list. Just take your time. My birthday is in May, but I don't care if I get my blocks in December. Whenever they arrive is fine with me, and I'm sure others feel the same way. Just make 2 or 3 a month and send them out when you have time. Nobody's feelings will be hurt, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadows4 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I realized that I never posted pictures of the block I received from Carol Hillary. Sorry Carol. Isn't it pretty? All of my blocks go so well together! Thank you so much Carol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadows4 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I also received this beauty from Vicki Bohnhoff with a sweet card!! You are really a gem, Vicki!! Thank you so much! I also edited my earlier post that had a picture of my blocks in it. It now includes Carol's and Vicki's blocks with the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingstitcher Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Thank you Judi for the darling Christmas block. It really does a good job of marrying the various colors of other blocks. The Santa focus fabric is a nice touch for the middle and the blue star fabric against a snowy day light blue reminds me of winter. Nice pictures Jeanne. The update is such a great idea. With the next block I'll do that too. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbq Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 After hours of frustration I finally figured out how to resize a photo on a Mac !!! I feel like I've jumped a huge hurdle. Thanks go to Mary Beth for her great encouragement and to Vicki (dancing stitcher) for her explicit instructions posted way back on 3/27 2007. Here goes.........

dancingstitcher Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Great job of posting your photos Valerie and they are a good size too. It would seem that you have the most blocks at fifteen. It's a nice collection. I'm wondering how we are doing with the birthday block program. I haven't seen a lot of postings and I personally haven't had a block in three weeks. You all didn't fall asleep out there, did you? In order to keep enthusiasm up, and encourage each other, let's become more active. It would be a shame to have this great program die on the vine. Let's get crackin'. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanri Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I have sent out all blocks up to July. I think i will work on some Novemebr thats a big month. I think I only have 56 on my list not 66, can you send me a current list so I can compare the two I was hoping to make one for everyone. I have fun making them guessing what someone wants is really fun and it is fun to see the blocks together. Its kinda interesting how they do go together, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2qlt4u Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 After much trouble at the post office, I got all the May ladies blocks sent out last week. The lady at the post office said I had to pay .12 cents extra per letter because they will need to hand stamp them. They never did this before. I was told the letters with cards will eat up their machines, because they are too stiff. She was feeling for the cards in them. anyway, they should be ariving soon. Happy Birthday May ladies. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadows4 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 It really keeps the enthusiasum up if receivers let the senders know they've gotten the blocks! It's kinda disheartening if there's no response from folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancingstitcher Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Please send thank you notes, or cookies, thread, bandaids. The best thank you would be to send your gift block. Put a smile into someone's day. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingstitcher Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Thank you Norece for this beautiful Christmas block.

April W Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have actually been working on blocks for the last few days too. I have 7 to go in the mail today and 3 more at home to be sewn together. It was really a matter of digging in my stash to find colors...I may have to go shopping for civil war colors though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
