What fun goodies from the swap box! Glad you were able to get some great stuff. I'm excited for it to come my way (whenever that may be :)

[jewells68]

I think we are now halfway through the swap list, and halfway through the year, so this is turning into a year long swap!

what great goodies from the box!

I remember the monkey quilt. a library bag is good. the kids i'm making them for seem to like them :)

[jewells68]

I forget, are you using a specific pattern or tutorial for your library bags?

[hardhatcat]

no pattern, i just wing it each time.

Yup, I got it yesterday! I'll be doing a video tomorrow. Took a bunch of stuff out and you can't tell there's anything gone from the box, it was so full of odds and ends. Hope I can cram all my stuff in for the next person.

I had the same problem! Even after I took out all those threads I just could not fit in everything I wanted to... I had a couple of books set aside to include but no luck fitting them in.

The batik wasn't from me, but I bet it would have worked for that block! It was hard to find batiks in the right colour for that particular one.

Haha.. that snowman panel SO didn't want to be opened up.

[jewells68]

Lol, yeah, that snowman panel did NOT want to be completely open. And yes, that block itself was difficult to make and come out the right size AND find the fabrics for...

I like the way your project room is looking! It's nice to see you in front of your machine. :)

Lots of good loot in the swap box! I can never resist a shiny thread, either.

It's coming along nicely. I'll be taking a break from the purge to work on some things, then I'll start up again. Still not happy with my cutting area, so I need to pin that down.
