Play time

I got a package in the mail last night. The signature blocks from The Lady of Steeles Hand Embroidery group swap :) We originally started out with about 26 of us but the numbers eventually decreased to 19. Now I just have to decide what kind of quilt I want to make my blocks into. The photo shows the blocks laid out as they came out the package. Now I get to "play"with the arrangement for a while.
This block belongs to Barbara our "long suffering" swap hostess. She dedicated almost 8 months to keeping us on track, moving along and on occasion getting very strict in her own special way :)
To everyone that participated, Barbara, Deb, Cat, Marion, Donna, Wanda, Gloria, Arlene, Alva, Dixie, Denise, Latha, Shasta, Patti, Janice, Candji, Linda and Kathryn  a big THANK YOU. I love the blocks and am looking forward to seeing all the finished results.
Countries and States represented - Australia, India, Saudi Arabia, Tennessee, Texas, Idaho, Missouri, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana, Washington, New York, Michigan and North Carolina

Glad to have you in Jackson, TN! Our local quilt guild meets the first Tues. night at 6:30 pm at Evangelical Community Church, 730 Pipkin Rd, North Jackson. We'd love having you.

Bring a "show and tell" if you'd like.
