kusmaulk Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Norece, Your card came in the mail yesterday. How sweet of you! I still have just one house in my neighborhood - an outhouse! I am anxiously awaiting the mail every day, hoping to add more. I have sent 19 blocks, and will try to get some more out this weekend. I am trying to wrap up some other loose ends before going back to school on Monday. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingstitcher Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Thank you Susan for the wonderful block with houses and pine trees. Darling fabric. Wow, you gals are really busy making blocks. I'm so proud of the two new gals Karol and Roxie for playing catch up so well. Hope you get many blocks from our veterans of this program who have been doing such a great job. Kate, you are ahead of me! I need to put the monthly push on and catch up to you. By the end of this month we should be at the 49 mark if you are doing them at a steady pace. I'm off to turn on my machine. Good luck everyone. Vicki PS here's a photo for all you purple fans. Arizona is blooming with all the monsoon rains. Thought you all deserved some flowers for your wonderful efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbq Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Karol Thanks for the log cabin block....... I'm still deciding on your house block. What a great choice for this exchange. Valerie moonbeamquilting@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laststitchstudio Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Roxie I love the African Block you made..............the colors and fabrics are perfect. It helps that the Kinti (spelling ??) cloth is my DH's favorite. I don't have you on my list............thought I had everyone. Please let me know when your B-Day is and what you want in a block. Have a great week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusmaulk Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I scanned the two blocks I've received so far. Thank you Norece, for the outhouse, and Roxie for the cool South Dakota house! Great fabric choices on both of them. ps Vicki sent me a preview of hers, with cacti and cowboys. I'll have to check the list, and see where else blocks may be arriving from. Maybe Kate will send me an African hut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPineQuilting Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Karol, Thanks for the quilt block. I will scan though my patterns and see what I can come up with for house block. Sorry I did not get this out sooner, but did not realize more names were added. My fault. All my blocks are sent out so if I missed someone or the post office fell in love with your block, let me know and I will send another one out. Have a great day.

janeta Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thank you Vicki Bohnhoff for the bright and beautiful quilt block. I love the jellybean fabric. It looks great with the blocks I already have. Thanks again, I love it. Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusmaulk Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I was looking for something else on the web, and found this great house block by Christine Thresh. It was in the center of a log quilt on point. Notice the little footprints in the snow! And I love the quilt hanging out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 That is way too cue! I like the "smoke" coming ou the chimney, too! Looks like batting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Norece - Glad you like it! It was the first time I tried using this ruler, and it worked out really well! I just didn't start with the right size squares to end up with the right size block. The ruler is made by Lazy Girl Designs (gotta like that name!!) and is called the "Flying Geese X 4 - No Math Ruler" No waste and no triangles to cut. their web address is: www.lazygirldesigns.com if you want to look at it. Once you get the hang of it, and know how to read it, boy-oh-boy - you can really make a bunch of them in no time flat! I like trying to make different blocks and such for this, it is just hard for me to get it to be a certain size.... never fails that I forget to figure in a seam allowance - or two or three!!

RoxieRae Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Norece, thank you for the card, glad you liked the block! I received 2 blocks in the mail this week---whoopee!!!!!!

kusmaulk Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 The blocks are larger than my scanner bed, so part of them is cut off, but you get the idea. Lovely fabrics and wonderful additions to my new neighborhood. THANK YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April W Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I want to send "Thank you" to Janet Armstrong and Elaine Benge for the pretty little blocks I recently received. I will be getting on the block making again this weekend as I have 5 days off in a row (2 without my husband being home to deter me from my sewing).

janeta Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I want to say thanks to Kate Meyer in Sevierville, TN for the beautiful block she made me. I just got it in the mail and it is so pretty! Looks great with my other blocks as well. What fun to get a surprise in the mail from time to time. I am really enjoying this. Thanks again.
