hi Anne, hope you are well. Please let me know how your B/W Fan Swap Blocks are coming along. HUGS! Suzi
Hi Anne! we miss you!! come out and play with us
hi anne, your stars will be ready for the post office tomorrow - i will let you know how much the postage is
Hi how are your star blocks progressing?? please let me know thanks
nope Pinky im still in the /US and will be here till 17th of october... really looking forward to checking out a couple of quilt shops while im here
Hey UK! You jump back over the pond to home yet? Hope you are having fun in US. They have really great prices on their cottons. I just got back from the there. I was in heaven! I got a bunch of kits to do over the winter. I am going to try my hand at wool applique. Hope you are having a good time and glad to see someone else hasn't started their blocks yet. lol Pinky aka Wendy
GREAT!! i will add you to the group. YAY!! start at the beginning and read thru the forum thread. you will be making 18 sets of 2 colorway blocks for a total of 36 blocks. (sounds like a lot when you first start but after the 3rd or 4th star they go pretty fast.) if you want to make your stars from just 2 fabric choices that is fine - you will need approx 3.5 yards of each. if you want to mix it up and use several different fabrics that is fine too - just be sure you are making sets of blocks (one white focus fabric star and one christmas holiday fabric star). Look at the bed quilt i made and you will get the idea..... I am SO GLAD to have you joining us! be sure to ask questions - we all love to help! and chat! Where and when are you coming to US? will you be able to make them while you are visitng? the mailing date is Nov 1st and if you make them while here - will be alot less in postage costs
hi welcome to the forums glad to have you here!! I read many posts from you today - that is the way to jump right in! love it!! Also got the request to join the block swap group? that is great! we are excited to have 18 players. Have you made this star block before? I have printable instructions i can email if you need them. are you prepared to complete and mail all sets (36 blocks) by Nov 1st? let me know and i will add you to the group Hugs! Suzi
