Winter Fair and Square from Lynda A.


I love Quakers, and Lynda stitched such a wonderful exchange for me. I will be finishing this into an ornament so I can hang it on the tree, and I keep my stitched ornies out for the year, so I will be able to see this year round. Thank you, Lynda!

Round 11 Received from Bridget C


These are are lovely squares I received from Bridget. The words were very special as we have all been feeling so low with the devastation from the bush fires. It has made us aware of just how precious life is. There is still smoke around - seems it is just trying to remind us of the lives lost, our native animals and the bushland that will take a long time to recover.

Winter squares received from Danica M.

I received my winter squares today from Danica M. She chose a Prairie Schooler design - one of my very favourites. It's a lovely cozy looking scene, it makes me look forward to when Winter will finally begin! I think they'll make up into a nice ornie and as Winter isn't here yet I should have them finished for display when it arrives.

Thanks Danica, they're lovely!

Round 11 to Bridget 25 days ago

Bridget your Round 11 squares were sent off from Australia 25 days ago - have you received them yet? Also you said you were sending your squares on 28th January but they haven't arrived. Postal between Australia and U.S.A. by air mail should only take between 7 - 10 days. Is anyone else having delays with the postal service? Marg

Winter Round



These are adorable! Jennifer F. added some sparkle and shine and all my favorite colors are in the pieces. Her signature piece is really nice as well. This design is called "Winter Cardinal" by Waxing Moon. My husband fell in love with them, because cardinals are one of his favorite birds. Thanks so much!

Round 11 Goodie



Cyndi H. took note that I love birds and stitched me some cute flamingos. This design is from Prairie Schooler #72-"Two By Two II". I especially like the color of fabric she chose. These squares will be a great addition to the friendship quilt I plan to have one day. Thanks so much Cyndi and I really liked the card you designed for me.
