Just a little follow up here. The only group that had a change in membership was the Best Friends. They lost two members and added one member as a replacement. As for the other groups, the blocks should be in the mail to you or in the mail shortly. We will have all of the same members in those groups. Please continue to post when you receive blocks. I am trying to keep up with it. I'll be back to wish our February Birthday Girls a Happy Birthday on Friday! Jeanne

Normally I would not be reporting on the March birthdays this soon, especially with so many that fall late in March, but as you know I will be helping with the triplets soon so I decided I'd better so this now before I don't get to it. Please don't get concerned that if your block is on the way, you are late. I am not saying that. In fact, I think all that have not been received are on their way. For the birthday girls, just remember to post to your thread when all of your blocks have been received and maybe let Kristene know as well so she will be able to determine that March is complete. Piece of Cake March 24 - Marsha (magothyrivergirl) At last count, Marsha had received 9. March 29 - Jeanne (sandlapper_rose) Jeanne has received from 11 people and is still awaiting her block from Cindy. Make a Wish March 18 - Eileen (equilter) - Complete March 24 - Paula (paulah_gardener) From the postings, I believe Paula is still awaiting a block from Cathleen. Ribbons & Bows March 1 - Fay (faytay) Complete March 3 - Sally (salijo) Complete March 27 - Mary (tuppermom) From the postings, I believe Mary is still awaiting blocks from Cindy and Robbi. Thanks all for being so great in trying to keep the schedule. You have made things easy for me and Kristene. I'm sorry I won't be able to wrap up the count for the month of March, but Kristene will be here to assist you. My husband will be here at our home so no problem with any mail still headed my way.

All of our September birthdays have passed by. I hope each of you had a wonderful birthday. If you are in the exchange and had a September birthday, please make it easy for us and post on your thread if you have received all of your blocks. If you don't want to "name names" of people you have not received from you are certainly welcome to e-mail me about it. I think everyone has done well, but I will be checking soon because October is right around the corner! I hope everyone is doing well. Jeanne

The 3rd group is now complete with the inclusion of Nancy (stitches). This group is to be called "Ribbons and Bows". I have written out all the details for each person in the group and am now just waiting on Nancy (stitches) to send me her information. As soon as I have that, I will email the completed group information to you all. We now have 3 people on our emergency list, willing to fill in if someone has to withdraw. If anyone else would like to be on this list, then let me know. From emails I've received, we have some very keen quilters indeed. Some people have completed half or more of next year's blocks already! This will save a lot of time next year and ensure they send their blocks out early for each person's birthday. Well done!
