Basket Swap Blocks Mailed

16 years ago

Packages went to the P.O. today so be looking out for them in a few days. We had one swapper that didn't send blocks so you'll be getting one less swapped block back. I enclosed everyone's extra blocks in their return package.

Thanks, Kay. I eagerly await them. Hope you didn't get too burned with our goofy basket block exchange. Thanks for taking it on.

home again, and exhausted. who knew that waiting 5 hours in a hospital waiting room could be so tiring? and those chairs are NOT made for comfort! while I was waiting for my roomie to get through his tests, I got a phone call from my mechanic, letting me know that the transmission in my car is indeed shot, and the bill will be just under $2000. thankfully, I've been able to save up that much, fearing the worst. I will have my car back either Tuesday or Wednesday. okay, enough of my griping tirade. I'll post again tomorrow in a better mood. I did want to say though that Michelle's 8 blocks arrived today, and they are simply beautiful. It was like receiving a bouquet in the mail... thank you Michelle! Michelle appliqued flowers onto her blocks, and they've inspired me to try my hand at it sometime during this extended vacation. as santa would say... peace to all, and to all a good night.

Carol, I am sorry but you are taking this too far. Please just move past the bitterness and lets all have fun, after all this is a social swap. Look up the meaning of social. We are all just here to enjoy each others fellowship and friendship. This has put a damper on everything concerning this group. Please just move on and enjoy this wonderful group like we are all doing. There are two GREAT swaps going on so lets just all do like Sue and put things past where they belong... in the past. Susie this swap is awesome, I love reading about all the awesome baskets!!! I wish I could be a fly on the wall when everyone receives their picnics, that would be sooo much fun!!! Pixie

Yo Kay---Got mine yesterday late in the day. Love them all. Everyone did such a great job. I placed them all out on the bed and they look so pretty together. I think i will make more of my blocks to go all around the outside and fill the center area with the group blocks. Something like that. Or maybe a large appliqued block in the center?? Fun to play. We leave for Montana Tuesday, so very happy they arrived before we left.

Great Bee! We can now call this swap officially over. LOL! I love your idea of a center medallion block. I may have to steal that idea. It sound so pretty!
