Not yet IQ, but our mail won't be delivered until around 6 PM today, so I will let you know this evening. Wink

Ali so sorry those two hid on you! You know after you hurried to make more, they will show up now. Isn't that the way it goes?

I still haven't heard from coreysmom...

Have a great day everyone!! Wave

Woo Hoo!! I finished the table topper out of leftover strings from a previous swap and plan on finishing the table runner by tomorrow night so those will be done!! I decided to use some very simple quilting and not get stressed out. I LOVE the built-in walking foot in my machine. Of course, I had to break out the manual to figure out how to use it since it had been so long Smile


These new beauties should get here just about the time I'm ready to start something new Smile

You know that went so well I may actually attempt quilting DS quit myself instead of sending it out (says the woman with a frame with a machine still unused in her sewing area Smile ) One of these days I may actually get comfortable with that but it is not today.

Wonder what the "leftovers" from this latest swap will become?

I posted both pictures of the leftover projects from a previous string swap but will repost just the table mat here - the runner makes the blocks look like ornaments.

Hey Crazy, does that "wave" mean the blocks are saying goodbye to your home and "hello" to ours?

I was going to wait to post my photo, but then thought I'd just go ahead and do it. Smile The blocks aren't mixed up~ I just laid them out as they were in my stack. I am going to love this one! Now I need to decide how I want to put it together. Smile Thanks ladies!!

I got some unsettling family news today and was feeling a little gloomy when I saw the mailman walk across the porch and open the door (puts packages between the doors). Thanks so much ladies, the strips are gorgeous!! If my smartphone cooperates, I'll post a picture, also just thrown out to admire them! They certainly brightened my day.

Mine arrived! Thanks to all the swappers and especially to our dear CBQ--super hostess! Yea!

I have to move furniture around to set all the blocks out, but until then I cannot wait to share my pretties!

Let's start with CBQ...
