Okay, this summer is going way too fast and I'm not ready for it to be August and time for my birthday! Now that I've got that out of my system....

I am so excited for it to be my turn to receive the birthday blocks. Sorry, but I am not going to wait til my birthday to open them all. I want to savor each one as I receive it!

Jen (mrseldoo) really took me by surprise and sent my birthday block in May! I really like it, a pretty pink "1930's square". I hadn't seen this pattern before, I'll have to look it up on Quilter's Cache.

I have also received a bright and beautiful "card trick" from Sue (polardream). I think the pattern and the colors really go together!

Linda - I haven't received yours yet. I'm anxiously checking my mailbox.

Thanks so much! I have been really enjoying these swaps!

Doing the birthday dance!! I received 3 more wonderful butterflies today. They came from Helen (HLAC), from Brenda aka Abbigail, and from Jean (jeener). Thank you all they are all lovely. The two I haven't received are coming from Canada and are having a time finding me way down here in south Louisiana. It just extends my birthday longer. I have them all spread out on a chair so I can look at them. Will take pics when they are all here. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone of you!!! Sally aka Nana

Oh my goodness! Thank you for all the birthday wishes, it was a pretty good day here except for the constant rain :) I've been saving the most recent arrivals to open on my birthday, and they are all so special. Thank you all. My computer has had some issues so I haven't been online a lot lately, and I have quite a few blocks to catch up on. Sorry for the delay :) Tara (tdsully) - Such lovely purples and a beautiful block. Thank you also for the information about the quilt block as well. I love little stories like that :) Brenda (abbigail) - I really like the speckled purple fabric you found, my fabric store doesn't have anything quite like that. Thank you so much for the block and for the extra piece of fabric you included, I'm already thinking about how to work it into my sashing :) Penny (PixieAB) - Thank you for the beautiful birthday block, I really like all the fabrics you used, all so different and they work really well together! Thank you. Helen (HLAC) - I really like this quilt block as well and I'm sure it looks really pretty in blues and greens too. Thank you so much, and also for including the instructions for future reference. Shades of blue sounds really good too, lol! I'd love to see a photo of your charity quilt once you've finished it. Rebecca (cannahavanna) - Such a stunning Dresden plate and six different purples that go so well together too. It is really beautiful, and the applique is so perfect :) I wish I could do it so well! Thank you. And last but not least for not, as this is the only block that actually arrived in the mail on my birthday and gave me a smile :) Jean (jeener) - That's funny that your mother and daughter both share the same birthday, it is quite a lovely day :) I've actually never met anyone who shared my birthday before! Thank you for the block, it is very pretty and such a fun fabric you chose as well! Thanks a lot. AND Lola. Haha, the post itself made me laugh :) I feel that way a lot too, I often try something and then wonder if I should send it. Thank you for all the effort and I'm sure that they're all stunning. After that story, I can't wait to open up the envelope when it arrives :) Jen (mrseldoo) - I haven't gotten your envelope yet but mail can take quite a while (as I have discovered) from USA/Canada, so it may just take some more time! I will try to post a picture once they have all arrived. I've never posted a photo on here before, but I do have access to a digital camera that I can borrow, so I think I'll have to figure out how to get a photo online. These blocks are so beautiful, I can't wait to show them all off!

Hey Jennifer, has your block arrived yet from me? I sent it on Monday and I figured it would take two days at most to get from TN to VA. Maybe it is in a covered wagon going over the Appalachian Mountains between us, LOL! Rebecca

Jean,

Your block is going in the mail tomorrow - I hope you like the fabrics I chose - I'm fairly inexperienced with reproduction fabrics . . . Happy Birthday!

This is so much fun! The 30's blocks that you all have put together for me are so colorful. What a joy to open the packages!

I received a wonderful blue and yellow Ohio Star block from Linda (toolgranny) along with a card and a swirly spunky spotty fat quarter (makes you wish you could see it, eh?).

I also received another colorful block - luv the fabrics - from Sally (Nana24). Sally, what is that block name? I know I know it, it just escapes me... And another delightful surprise in the package - a 30's fabric tissue holder. Awesome! I was thinking of making one for myself, but there you go and beat me to the punch!

Thanks so much! I am really looking forward to my birthday this year thanks to you all!

Jeener,
Glad you received your block. I usually put a note in my package about the block but realized after I mailed it I forgot to do so. I'm blamining my forgetting on having so busy a summer. Ha :) I don't want it to be "old timers".

The block is called Box Quilt and it came for Quilt Blocks Galore. It said it was a mail order block between 1920-1940 so I hoped it fit your '30 theme.

Just a warning-the kleenex covers are addicting! After I made one I just had to make more! They are quick and easy and are so cute.

We are looking forward to pictures when you have them all.

Just a quick note to let you know I have received lovely blocks from Tara (tdsully) and Lola (lola99)
Tara - I apologize for the late note, I thought I had posted about your block already, but looking back through the messages, I don't see my note. Nonetheless, I love the blocks!!

Yesterday's mail brought me a jackpot - three blocks! Cathleen's (cziga) block arrived from over the border, Rebecca's (cannahavana) and Helen's (hlac) block all were in my mailbox. Do you suppose the mailman was saving them all? It was great fun opening them. My kids all wanted to open them for me. Thank you all. Its almost time to take pictures, just one more!

Just checking to see if you received my block. Mailed the same time as Jennifer's so should be there anytime. Tried emailing, but came back as undelivered. Sorry for the delay.
