a heads up to Sandy. . .

Hi Sandy,

Just to let you know that your squares will be sent mid-September. I apologize upfront that they won't be mailed by 9/7 but we are in the process of moving and honestly, it isn't feasible to get yours finished and mailed ontime for this round. I hope you understand.

Feel free to stretch the deadline on my end as well ~ I will post again when they are sent. Many thanks for your patience!!!

Received my squares from Tanya

Here they are. You did a great job Tanya. Thank you so much. :) And thankyou for the extra bits of fabric you included, I'm sure I'll find something for them. :) I love these squares and the cherries are my fav fruit too!

pinkeep no 1!

Ok I added the pictures to my Blog of Heidi's blocks in pinkeep form! Have a look when you get a chance.

Thank you, Heidi!

Heidi,

The house square you stitched for me is so cheerful ~ I love it! Your initial square is dainty; thank you so much and it was such fun exchanging with you. I hope you get mine soon ~ should be any day I gather. I've decided to make the squares I receive into pinkeeps SO yours will be my first :)

Edited to add...

I made these blocks into my first pinkeep! I would like to make all the squares I receive into pinkeeps for a collection ~ we'll see. In the meanwhile, this one was fun to make. I will post a picture of it on my blog in the morning: http://atthehoneysuckletree.blogspot.com/.

Heidi ~ almost finished with yours!

It will be hard to part with your squares ~ I'm so attached to them already. LOL Hope you will like them as much as I've enjoyed stitching them for you. I aim to finish the second one this weekend and plan to mail Monday. I'll post here when I do. This is such a fun exchange!!

~Tanya

Heidi ~ give me some ideas!!!

I see you like purples and greens and leave the block idea up to the stitcher BUT can you give me some more ideas ~ maybe tell me what kind of designers you like and I can go from there?! Thanks.

Tanya :)

Tanya's Likes and Dislikes

I see under my name that is says I didn't list any likes or dislikes but I did!!! Last week I had posted the following that I'll post again here :) Thanks!

>>Some of my favorite designers include BLACKBIRD DESIGNS, HOMESPUN ELEGANCE, BRIGHTNEEDLE, LITTLE BY LITTLE, EWE AND EYE, SHEPHERD'S BUSH, LITTLE HOUSE NEEDLEWORKS to name a few. I love houses and alphabets and designs that have an antique-style overall. I like Quaker designs too! I like sweet sayings but short and sweet ones ~ nothing corny. Ha!Oh goodness, this is tough ~ I don't know if I want to concentrate on a theme ~ perhaps just let the stitcher know my preferences and go from there? I don't like mythical things, geometric, fairies, angels, cartoony, cutesy or seasonal stuff. I don't know about finishing yet ~ maybe a quilt or small little pillows. It all depends on how the squares all flow together.

What fun!

Hey there!
Thank you, Annemarie for posting about it on your Blog and tempting me with the thrill of it all!

I'm Tanya and design under The Sampler Girl. I live in VA, my homestate. I've been married for 11 years and have two boys; Ben who will be 8 in June, and Zack, who is nearly 4 months old. SO I don't have big blocks of stitching time right now but I make do here and there. I'm a night owl therefore I get most my designing and stitching done when the moon is out! I also love to read and knit so shuffle free time back and forth. Oh and I adore a good cookbook so well, we eat well :)
