Wow! You are smokin Bren!! Love your batik background and brown spool tops!

And yes, I see one of mine in there!! Tres Cool!!

Today was my luck day... I got reels in the mail box from friends I have never met...

Where did the reels come from??? All from the USA except for 6 of them... Kind of surprised about that but that was my group... I'm kind of a numbers person so was wondering about fabrics from far away lands... How many blocks will I get from over seas? Now I know...I got 3 the other 3 were from Canada... You guys count just not as over seas blocks... LOL!!!! I LOVE EM' ALL!!!!!!!

Starting the process of color arrangement/placement... Tell me do you recognize any of these???? One was a lone wolf, no name tag.... Only 3 that needed a trim up all others were perfect sized. GREAT JOB all you Wot RoTT'ers!! I'm so happy and I cant wait for the rest of you to get yours and post photos of your progress..... Cold and windy in SD. I'm loving my reels!!!! This was fun... Think I might do it again.. Hee Hee!

Aren't they just beautiful???? I feel so rich today!!!! All these jewel tones!!!

Bren... "giggling"

Jane,
The wallhanging is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. can't wait to see what you do with the reels!

OOOPS never mind I just read Janes post... Guess that answers my question! Sorry I missed that....

Rosemary, and Lorna, Questions for you...

Rosemary, Are you saying that everyones blocks are waiting to be shipped? : : :

Or did some of the groups ship already?

Not by a long shot--still need to figure out how to use these in a border around the HST's from that exchange. I wanted to do the tree of life and have enough of them for that, but not sure how the reels will look around them. So, may need to find another pattern. They're all in the same container now, though, so they may do a Vulcan mind-meld and help me come of with a good one

Yeah Jane - does that mean you will be finished first?

Rosemary, love the new Avatar!

Just wanted to let you know my reels arrived here in Wickenburg, AZ, USA in this morning's mail .

Loved the mail person today because she brought not only the reels but a small wallhanging made with 30's fabrics from a 10" block exchange from another online group to which I belong (picture below). Thank you again, Lorna and Rosemary, for all the work and effort you both put into this exchange--love my reels and am so glad some came from other countries and not just the US.

Rosemary, it's okay with me for the blocks to take longer to get back home to me. I'm in the middle of quilting the 2011 BOM so no hurry needed here..... I just hope the reels eventually get to you.

Latest News from Headquarters

We are waiting for the final set to arrive from Australia, they have been slowly swimming here since the 27 February! I know every one is waiting anxiously for their reels, but with it being a 'set number exchange' we will have to ask you for a bit more patience. I have contacted Tannes/Toni, so she can see if there is anything she can do from her end, and you can be sure that when they do arrive I will let everyone know here!

Lorna & I did investigate the possiblility of sending them on separately, but it would have cost another £1:06 each and since it affects 2 groups, this would add another £80 plus to the expenses :shock:

Actually Lorna & I reckoned that they would arrive today, after we had met up together yesterday, when I could have handed over the ones she needs, in person. Unfortunately that hasn't happened

just curious as to when we should receive our reels from the exchange...peg in ks
