dancingstitcher Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Guess I saved the hardest block for the end. Nita Bass wanted Feathered Star and since I had never done one before, I left it to the end, No. 67. My friend Cathey here on the chat had given me the instructions and some Christmas fabric as a gift to make my own feathered star and I had purchased Marsha McClusky's book on "very hard blocks that take a long time to make". I have a new appreciation for these stars. Now that Nita's is finished, and mine is cut out, I'll sew a block for myself. So please add my name to the "finished-all-the-blocks" club. Part of my life and its happiness is now mixed with yours. Good luck in getting to the end. It feels wonderful. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusmaulk Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Vicki, Ami Krenzel is not quite finished yet - I have not received a block from her. I think I am about halfway - not bad, since I just joined in August! (Maybe Ami didn't realize the last few of us got in just under the wire.)

RoxieRae Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Wow, Vicki, what a block! Congratulations on being done. I have gotten 31 sent out and I am making those for Oct. that I haven't already done. I check my mailbox daily...hoping for my own squishie...have received 6 so far. This has been a great opportunity to try new blocks, but doing a feathered star???? Thanks for the photo, it may be what I need to try one of them.

laststitchstudio Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I still haven't heard from many of the people I sent blocks. I'm hoping you each have received one from me. I loved making each block and giving them to each of you. Sure would like to know if you got yours, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusmaulk Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I can't even imagine receiving a squishy envelope in the mail, months ahead of time, and saving it to open on my birthday. I am enjoying celebrating my birthday several times before it actually arrives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rduncan Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Karol Kusmaul and Vicki Bohnhoff, Thank you for the blocks. Pictures are posted in the pictures thread. They coordinate with each other and the other blocks. Can't wait to put these on the design wall again to figure out where they will go in the puzzle. Thanks again to both of you.

BigPineQuilting Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Elaine, Just got your block in the mail. Thanks so much. It was a nice treat and matches with my dark yellow and blues nicely. Carol Hillary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingstitcher Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Thank you Monika for your generous gift of a block that is actually a group of blocks making a wall hanging! The penguins in the center are so cute. Then you gave me snowflakes in the corners and beautiful Christmas borders. I'm so overwhelmed and thrilled. Thank you also for the computer square disk of designs. I'll get it converted to a circular disk to use on my computer. It's amazing how you can make Christmas/Birthday cards on your printer - so cute. You're fantastic. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judi Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 April - Glad it arrived and you like it! I also sent blocks to Roxie L., Bonnie B., Pam N., and Stephanie G. at the same time..... (mailed on 10-1-07 from MN) I have not yet heard from Marylyn J, Christy W., Kathy P., Gerry M., Beth M., Pam H., Carlotta J., Kathy P., and Sue U. (these were sent either in Sept. or many, many moons ago!) Maybe I did miss it, but I am trying to keep track of everybody. I am ready to send out another batch on Monday! I am off to put them into envelopes. Keep looking for your "Squishy Mail"!! Please let me know when it arrives, or if your name is listed above, and it has NOT arrived, I will make another block and send it out - just let me know!

chickenscratch Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Other than the December gals, is there anybody else I still owe a block to? I want to get them finished up this week while I'm off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusmaulk Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I received another house block from Carol Stanaland. Thank you very much. Now there are eleven houses in the neighborhood. I think I have sent out 30 blocks. Don't know how I will finish the entire list, but I will try my best. A few here, a few there, and soon ithe list is finished.

laststitchstudio Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Carol Stanaland Thank you so much for the block.....good colors and an unusal pattern. Love the unusal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Karol, I don't think anybody will be upset if it takes you a while to finish the list. I still have your house block to make and the December gals. I have received 19 blocks. I laid them all out last night, trying to decide what to do with them. I keep hoping that more will appear before the end of the year. If not I'll probably end up with two wallhangings and a couple of throw pillows.

Judi Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I mailed the pile today - forgot the Post Office was closed yesterday! Does anyone have an idea of how long they take to get up to Canada? I sent off 3 for there today.... still have not heard from Gerry though, sent hers a long time ago. Have not seen her posting lately either, anyone know whats up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
