chickenscratch Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Norece, Thank you for the pretty block. It will match the others very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingupastorm Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well I am finally getting towards the bottom of the list.....................I have a pile of 21 blocks finished and 13 more to sew and I am done! Whoo Hoo. I was doing one a day then two and lately I have been cranking out 5 a day. I have been doing a few favorite blocks and that makes it faster as I have those blocks down really well now. I did send 21 blocks a couple of weeks ago and have only heard from a handful of people that they got the blocks..............it would be nice to know that they were received.

April W Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I want to send thanks to Norece for the pretty bright block. I dont usually get the mail at my house, but Saturday I stopped because I was expecting a special card for my daughter's baby shower from a dear friend of ours. The card came and so did your beautiful block. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramona-quilter Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I am so far behind on my blocks. But I had to show off these blocks. The block on the right is from Lorrie Houle. The left one is from Judi Olson. My birthday quilt is going to be so girly. Don't you love them. Thank you Lorrie and Judi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Another birthday block. This one is almost edible...yes, chocolate. This block is from Vicki (Dancing Stitcher). I had to show the envelope. Vicki drew a chocolate bonbon on the envelope. I love it, Vicki. Thank you so much. I better get busy making blocks.

dancingstitcher Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Love seeing the photos and it's obvious that we're really doing well with the blocks. Maybe more of you could post your collections too. Linda, glad you liked the chocolates that have no calories! You are going to have a girlie quilt. Thank you Norece for your first beautiful block to me which I posted a photo. Then you sent me a second block with some fabulous templates. All those interlocking pieces are amazing. I'm going to have fun with that. I always wondered how that puzzle was put together. Thank you. Please join me in welcoming Roxie Lutke to the birthday block group. I have all her information and those of you who are nearly done might consider making one more block please. Her birthday isn't until January so you have some time. Please write me for the updated list. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPineQuilting Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks to Judi Olsen and Alyn Meyer-Gravatt for their blocks. They are both beautiful shades of blue/yellows and go together nicely. Need to think about how I plan to put together in a quilt. Hmm, perhaps that will be my birthday treat to myself. Again, thanks.

ramona-quilter Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 My DH lost this one for me but Ami Krenzel alerted me to it's presence. I little search and here it is. I wish I knew what this star is called. It is like a twirling star. I love it. Thank you, Ami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingupastorm Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Linda I am so glad that you found the little block. The star is called "Hope of Heartford" and I found the instructions on quilterscache.com I have been doing a ton of these for this swap because they are really pretty, fun to make and look great in a hiuge variety of combinations of fabrics. I am down to only 6 blocks left to make but I have quite the stack of finished ones to stuff into envelopes and get into the mail. Figure I might as well mail them all together and then I am finished. I have just been doing a few a day and many times I will precut a batch of blocks and then I can just sit and chain sew.

Judi Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I just was not sure which post to show these on - but it looks as if more people are looking at this one. I have tried to email everyone as a block came in to me - but again - Thank-you! I love them all!!! first row: Carol Hillary, Renae Gamel, Linda Card second row: Ami Krensel, Janet Armstrong, Marylyn Jones, Vicki Bohnhoff third row: 2 from Teresa Taylor, Barbara Goodson, Pam Hish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 These look much nicer in person, our camera and computer have about gone "ca-put" so I hope that you all can see them better than I do!! first row: Lorrie Houle, Rita Kilpatrick, Susan Contreras sencond row: Kate Meyers and Alyn Meyer-Gravatt I have made blocks for all of you in return. Monday I have a bunch of envelopes here to mail!! They are for: Kate, Marylyn, Pam, Susan and Alyn. Everyone else listed here should already have their blocks by now. I have not heard from Janet #44 or Beth #45 on the list yet. I am finally caught-up and will get going on more! Please let me know if you did not receive your block. I also mailed a block to Gerry - who knew I would still have to fill out a customs form for such a little envelope! (to Canada) Funny thing was - that it was cheeper than the one I sent to Colorado!

Susanri Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Those look so nice together! I was going to wait until my Birthday to open all mine but I have only 7 so I opened them early, I think I could make a table topper or a pillow or two. I know I thanked everyone earlier but they are so pretty!thank you: Ami K Vicki B carol h lourie H Rebecca H Kate M Pauline H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadows4 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Susan: I'm behind on sending mine out to people, as I've heard others are. You might hold off making anything for a while. I'll bet you get others soon, counting from me. I'm sorry I've gotten behind, at first I was ahead. I've also been sending mine out randomly and also found out that some I've sent never reached the birthday girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanri Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Thanks Jeanne great advise, I know one of mine got lost too not bad for sending out 32! Sometimes they get jammed in the machines. I'll keep doing the blocks maybe I will get enough to do a small cib quilt or something I do these swaps way too much to know that I will get about half of what I sent. But its a great way to use scraps and I even used some of my orphan blocks that I make and don't know what to do with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judi Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Susan Dear - you wouldn't have too wait long for you Birthday though - - - Happy Birthday early!! What, 2 more days? I could never wait! As soon as I see that puffy envelope - it gets ripped open! Sometimes before its even in the house! You should get yours from me anytime now, maybe today! Hope so - hope you like it too.... I am a bit to obsessed with worry about directional fabric. You will see. I did not have any Civil War fabrics, so a bought a little bundle from the LQS. Made yours and another persons. Fabrics for the Jo Morton club they do in town. I would also hope that we do better than 1/2 with our exchange. I am right now finally "ahead of the game" and it feels much better this way!

dancingstitcher Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Thank you for these beautiful blocks. Norece Embody, second gift at the top - I finished it and thank you for the templates (always wondered how that design went together, tricky); Alyn Meyer-Gravatt - broke my snow globe that was just like the one you put in the center, how did you know I wanted a new one?; Ami Krenzel - just wanted to show everybody your wonderful star. I think you get the prize for the most points in one block. Glad you opened your envelopes Susan. What a nice birthday surprise. Okay, now I'm behind too and need to do double time in July. Finished the two baby block quilts and sent them off to Linda Rech who is doing the longarm work. Can't wait to see what she does with them. Now it's time to get back into the birthday blocks and will do Alyn's first since it is the only one I haven't returned. Good luck to all of you in getting more blocks sent off. Together we can do this! Rah, Rah, sis, boom, bah, Jefferson Sixth Grade, Rah, Rah, Rah! Oops! Wrong cheer. Does anyone out there have a cheer for us?
