Last night, I finished Vonna's squares from Round 2 into a cube. I love how it turned out! It goes perfectly with Julie's squares, too.

Finished Squares from Julie (Round 1)
I finished my squares from Julie about a month and a half ago. I hadn't been able to post a picture due to my mom having some health issues.
I chose to finish Julie's squares into a cube. I love this finishing technique. It was my first time, but I plan on many more!

Squares from Vonna
I'm just a little slow in posting the squares I received from Vonna. She stitched LHN's Pumpkins for me.
There's a funny story behind the squares. Vonna mailed her squares to me on the same day that I posted LHN's Pumpkins on my blog that I had already stitched :) Vonna offered to stitch something else, but I don't mind having two of the same pattern. I want to use the square I stitched for a quilt and use Vonna's for a cube. But anyway, here are her squares...!
Vonna also sent a pretty post card from Indiana, my first set of Piecemakers needles, and some floss from Sparklies in a pumpkiny color! (Thanks again, Vonna!) I hope to post a picture of the finished squares soon :)

Another Move!! :(
I am posting this here so that we dont' have a package go missing like we almost had with the last round. My daughter has recovered from her accident enough that I no longer have to live with her and her family. YEAH! I love my daughter and her family but I need my own space. This past 2 months has been trying for all of us, my grandson who gave up his room so grandma could have a room, to my SIL for putting up with me being a "clean freak" and letting me yell at the kids and him to keep things picked up and most of all to my daughter for letting me take over her house and torturing (LOL) her with her therapy. So anyway I have bought a small 2 bedroom condo nearby and will be moving in the next week or 2. So please wait until I can email coordinators and my current partner my new and permanent address.

Squares Received from Cheryl
I received my lovely squares from Cheryl this week. I am so happy that when I moved and didn't get a forwarding address in that the package was returned to Cheryl and she was able to mail them off to me a second time. They truely were worth the wait. Thank you so much Cheryl! I love them! Could you please post a picture of them as I can't find my camera in the storage shed.

Tracy J. Introduces herself to Fair and Square
Hello to all of you in the Fair and Square exchange group. My name is Tracy, I live in Phoenix, Arizona where the weather remains above 100 degrees 3 months out of the year. This is my first exchange group that I have joined within the blogging community. I am happily married (17 years now) and have 4 children, ages 15 - 20, two still at home. I am a SAHW (stay-at-home-wife) and enjoy this lifestyle. I am helplessly addicted to cross stitching and have been stitching for 20 years. My tastes in designs, fabric and variation have steadily become a matter of careful consideration.
You can learn a lot more about me and my stitching at my blog.

Within the last two years have dusted off my needles and started stitching and adding to my stash again. Looking forward to a great exchange! Have a Great day!

Tuula's Fair Squares...
Tuula's lovely squares arrived and they are just perfect and so beautifully stitched... and she stitched her signature square over one... :-)
Thank you Dearest Tuula for the lovely friendship squares you stitched for me! I love them and I will treasure them and your friendship always... I think I'll be making them into a pinkeep... not 100% sure as yet... and as you know I may very well change my mind several times between now and the actual *finishing* time... ;-)
Thank you Vonna for organising this exchange... It's such fun stitching and receiving the friendship squares and I love seeing all the beautiful designs everyone else is stitching...
Thanks again, Tuula Sweetie... I love my squares... :-)

Margaret's squares for moi
I'm a little late in posting these pics (I've been lazy and busy, a dreadful combination), but here are the squares that Margaret G stitched for me!
Aren't they beautiful? Margaret chose this design because I translate romantic novels and she thought this 'Ladye of the Castle' would be just right for me. You're right Margaret, I love it! If you hadn't stitched these squares for me, I would have stitched the design myself :o)

Speaks for itself. . . I know many of your are busy and haven't signed up for next round, and that is totally fine, but I wanted to remind you all that today is the last sign up day. Tomorrow the Round will be closed and I'll send out your partners.
Thanks!

Thank you my dear friend, Lizzy!
I got this squares from Lizzy today! Thank you so much, my dear friend! They are so beautiful and perfectly stitched! I just can´t decide how to finish, I think I´ll make a scissorsfob of them. Lizzy sent also a Little House Needleworks-kit, I have pics on my blog
I have known Lizzy about a half year now and she is such a wonderful friend so it was really nice to have her as my partner in this exchange. I´m really worried though and I have started to stitch a new set for Lizzy because the ones I sent her have been on their way for three weeks now and she hasn´t received them yet. Have patience, dear Lizzy, I hope I get the second set ready this week, so that I can send it for you.

Thanks Lauren!
Barbara
LIKES: Primitive-type designs, such as those by Carriage House Samplings, Prairie Schooler, The Workbasket, La-D-Da, and Brightneedle. I love birds and trees, earthy colors, and samplers (among other things).
DISLIKES: Folksy (cutesy/cartoonish) as in Jeremiah Junction and Diane Graebner, religious themes, pastels.
USE for the received squares: It depends on how many rounds I participate in. If there are only a few, I'll finish them individually as smalls and disply on my Wall of Smalls. If there are more, I'll either make a mini-quilt to hang or a "book" to display. :)

Hello!
My name is Paula and I just joined this exchange. I sounds like lots of fun and I am really looking forward to participating.
I live in Washington and am married with two young adult children who are both in college and working full time. I have been stitching since 1985 and have stitched many shop models as well as gifts and even a few things for myself. I have just picked up my stitching again after a nearly four year break and am having lots of fun re-organizing my stash and stitching on my projects.
Have a great day!

I received my blocks from Pokua yesterday, what a long trip from Australia. They are absolutely stunning. I love them, I am a true bird freak and it is my first piece of redwork!!! You did a fantastic job stitching them!! And the goodies added were too generous, and I love it all. Thank you, you have been a wonderful partner for this round.. Here is the picture:
Dani, Your Blocks Were Mailed Today!
You should get them in 6-10 days, according to the post office guy. I didn't have time to take a pic of them before they left.
I'm leaving for Celebration of Needlework tomorrow and will be gone for the week. I'll make sure to call home regularly and ask if your package arrived. You can post a pic of the squares you sent to me, if you would like.
Vonna, please sign me up for round 3!

Monique's Squares to Deb in FL
These are the darling squares I received from Monique this week! I asked for a little girl and roses to go with my toile fabric. I'm making a quilt for my granddaughter. This is just perfect!! I'm so delighted with it!! Isn't it the sweetest!? It was an especially good thing to get to know Monique. She is a special person. My square for Monique will be going out to her this week... I can't wait for Round 3. Deb in FL/Lavender Rose
Fast and Furious
Hello Ladies!
Blocks are being posted and received fast and furious now! Thanks for everyone's attention to detail :) I know that some block partners are not mailing until the beginning of next week. That's fine, just please keep each other informed. That is another reason why we have a 2 week time period in between each round so blocks can be received and everything set straight before the next round begins (in case you were wondering)!
Please if possible remember to post your name and your partner's name and which round number on the posts of sending and receiving..it makes it easier for me to track what's going on.
Again, I'm taking sign ups until whatever the date says on the side bar for Round #3. The round will close a couple of days before I send names, so if you want to be in the round and I haven't gotten your name in the sidebar...let me know. I'm human and sometimes, I miss things....if your name is on the sidebar for Round #3 and you don't want it to be let me know that too! If you want to lay out a round or two or four...no problem! I'll keep you as members and you just alert me when you want to jump back in for a round ;0)
We've gotten some new members for Round #3 so welcome newbies! You'll enjoy the exchange, as you can see we have some LOVELY, TALENTED Stitchers here!
Again, thanks to everyone for participating and being such a great group of people!
Have a great weekend and I can't wait to see all the squares that are travelling right now!
{{hugs}} to you all.....~Vonna

Friendship Square from Brenda H
Brenda's square arrived on Tuesday. When we first started conversing about our squares we realized that we had very similar stitching interests. It's really true - we both stitched a house in our designs for each other! Brenda's square for me features a design from Little House Needleworks. She also included the pattern for The Rose Sampler (LHN) and some DMS fibers. Thanks so much Brenda - it was really a treat to get to know you!
Got my Squares!

Blocks for Julie
Well, my blocks for Julie were posted at lunchtime today. Julie - I really hope you like them!
I'm not going to sign up for round 3 as I've not been feeling so well over the last few weeks and I think I'm going to be a bit preoccupied with that for a bit longer, so I'm dropping out of the exchange for now.
I will keep watching to see what everybody's up to and hopefully join again at some point.

looking forward to the next round.

Newbie from Oregon
Hello, Ladies! I'm Sonda from Oregon. I have been cross-stitching non-stop for about 3 years although I actually started about 12 years ago. (Had to put things away for awhile when I started having kids until all the little hands were old enough to stop touching... ;) ) This year, I joined some charity stitching groups and I've stitched a few squares for Love Quilts, Quilts 4 Kids, Quilts 4 Older Children, and a Cross-Stitching for Charity yahoo group. That has been very rewarding. I have many projects in the rotation and millions more I'd like to do, although recently I've been on an ornament kick. This sounds like a fun exchange, and I look forward to participating. A few good surprises in life are always welcome.
Heads Up Donna!
Your squares are on their way as of today 07/04/07 :)
Hannah, I'm stitching your squares right now! I'll post here when they are on their way!

How are we doing???
Hello Fair and Square Members!
How are we doing? We're getting close to our mailing deadline, so here's a friendly reminder to get your squares in the mail on or before Friday, September 7, 2007.
If something has happened and you cannot mail by 7/7/07 e-mail your partner and myself (Vonna) so that we can be abreast of the situation. This reminder is for myself too, I've still got to stitch my own squares to send!
Also sign ups for Round #3 continues. Please look in the sidebar and see if your name is there if you want it to be there or that its not there if you don't want it there. Either e-mail me or post to this board if you want to join Round #3 or you want your name removed from the list.
Thanks, to all those that have already mailed their squares. We've had some beautiful squares both stitched and received already! I can't wait to see all 40+ of them :)
Have a great week ahead,
Vonna

Mailing Square--Cheryl
I just finished the last stitch in my name square tonight. Will be ironing them and putting them in the mail to you tomorrow. Hope they arrive quickly, as I am so close to the end with my mailing.
My daughter's rehab after her accident is coming along nicely...looking like a full recovery and she will be able to walk again with out a cane or a walker. So happy that it's turning out that way. She was the reason for my quick move from Wisconsin to Missouri, got everything packed, banks and credit cards notified and off I went. It's nice being here to help her family as I get to see my grandsons everyday now.
Please sign me up for round number 3.
