janeta Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Norece, I am so glad you like the block. I actually made two of them, so I could have one for myself. I look forward to seeing your finished quilt. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I have a note written to myself that I need to make blocks for 4 people: Karol- house block Jeanne - 10.5 inch purple Sandy- 12.5 thimbleberries Vicki - 12.5 Christmas Is this correct? I promise they will be in the mail before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Teresa, My info is correct. Please don\'t stress over getting my block out by Chrsitmas. Whenever it is ready I will gladly accept it. I also need to send one to you, and you may not get it until January, due to the hustle and bustle of Christmas.

shadows4 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Mine are 12.5 inch blocks, but the colors are right: purple, lavender, greens, with white background. Like Sandra said, don\'t stress over getting them out. I\'m not putting mine together before the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Okay, I\'ll make that correction Jeanne. Thanks for letting me know before I messed up. My last day at work is Dec. 18th, so I\'ll probably make them that week before Christmas and drop them in the mail. I wish I had gotten enough to do a quilt, but maybe I can put them together into some kind of wall hanging; or add alternate blocks between the pieced ones. I\'m still deciding.

janeta Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Teresa, you may still get more blocks, I\'m waiting a little longer before putting mine together. Also, if you don\'t have enough, how about putting them on point with plain white blocks in between. This will make the quilt bigger and allow you to do some of that beautiful quilting you are so go at. Just a thought. Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusmaulk Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Thanks to Janet Armstrong for the cute house block you made. The neighborhood is growing. . . I realize that house blocks are not easy to make, so I really appreciate the effort you all are putting into my blocks. They are looking great together!

MODEN Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just got a beautiful block from Janet Armstrong. Thanks Janet, and yes, it will go great with the 4 others I have received so far. I will get to yours in January, please be patient. Thanks again, Monika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeta Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Monika, I am so glad it works well with your others. I look forward to seeing what you do for me, but don\'t worry about rushing. I realize this time of year is very hectic. I am not planning on putting my blocks together until March or April as I realize some may yet arrive and I do not want to leave them out of the quilt. Please remember to sign, date and write the location on your block; that way I\'ll always remember where each block came from and who made it. Happy holidays!

chickenscratch Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Monika, honey. When was your birthday. For some reason you aren\'t on my birthday block list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I just received back my block I sent to Amanda B. #29 on the list. I had sent this in the mail to her on Nov. 5th!!! Where has it been sitting for over a month? Hmmm.... please send me your address Amanda! I will also email... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODEN Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Good morning you all, thank you so much for thingking of me, but I had actually opted out of the Birthday block exchange awhile back. I have received several blocks and I have reciprocated and made blocks for those ladies, but I have actually not initiated making any. So now I have a predicament. I have todate 5 wonderful vibrant and awesome ohio Star blocks. Not quite enough to make a quilt, even with filler blocks, so i will give you my address and if you want to make a block for me, that would be just awesome. I will of course return the sentiment, so please make sure I have your address, color preference and size. I thank you all for your thought. Happy Holidays to you all:cool:.

MODEN Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Janet, I will be mailing your block today. Hope you like it and it fits with all your others. Monika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziesgirl Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Monika, I have a quilt here to do for a customer that was in a block exchange and there were only five of them. For a sixth block she drew a design from a stencil, embroidered it and wrote the names of those that gave her a block and in the center put what the exchange was for. I will try to post a picture later, the concept was really neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Sheryl, what a great idea. Monika, I will make you an Ohio star block, but it might not get there until after the first of the year. I mailed blocks on Monday to: Vicki Sandra Tina Beth Sheryl I am in the middle of Jeanne\'s replacement block (wonder where that first one ever ended up????) and Karol\'s house. I still have to make Barb\'s star, Alynn\'s fall block, and Leslie\'s block. then I\'ll be done. YEAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingstitcher Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 That\'s wonderful Teresa that you are almost done. Congratulations! Wow, what a wonderful accomplishment. Let me know when you are all done. Can\'t wait to see my block from you. I had my birthday on Sunday and have about 26 blocks. As I showed them to Mom, I wrote all the names on each along with the city and state so that years later I would remember who sent them to me. Think I\'ll wait until March too before starting to put them together just in case a few more "squishies" arrive. I\'m thinking that they might look good as a tall banner or wall hanging instead of a bed quilt. Is anyone else doing a wall hanging? Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all are enjoying the holidays. I made pies for my neighbor and my parents since they make nice gifts. Visited with friends in Mazatlan, Mexico where they live for the winter. Took a couple of yoga classes from my friend Maureen who loves living in Mexico. Now we are on our way to Los Angeles to help our daughter move, paint, and decorate. Should be lots of fun to start the new year off with something so stimulating. Love the mother/daughter time with her. May all of you have a great beginning to the new year too. Love, Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hi Teresa, I received your block today. I LOVE it. Thank you so much. I will make yours...soon. I had a tooth extracted this afternoon, and of course "Mother Murphy" was there...complications. Anyway, getting home and finding your block in my mail, really made my day look brighter. Merry Christmas! Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Darlington Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Teresa, Judi (Olson) and Barb (Goodson), I am mailing your blocks out tomorrow. I was home "sick" today and so was able to make them. I had a tooth pulled yesterday afternoon, so I am taking antibiotics and for 48 hours, also pain killers (helps to reduce swelling, too), and no driving allowed while on the pain killers. Humm...my dentist said I had to stay home and sew:) Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Good for you Sandra!! I will be looking for it! I did receive a block today from Sheryl S. - Thanks so much!! LOVE the colors they fit in perfectly! (also my Secret Santa gift came today.... OH! So much fun to open goodies!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
