Barb's greens are luxuriant! In fact, all the reels are beautiful. It will be fun to see what great quilts come out of them.

I love the bird house quilt!!! What a great idea. Thanks for letting us borrow your idea. The colours of all the reels posted are amazing!!!!!!! I can't wait to see what I get.....Happy Valentines Day...Doreen

Your greens are yummy Needleware! You must have worked fast if these were for a fill-in spot, thanks for stepping in! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Oh, My! I left town (to attend some classes with Paula Nadelstern) before I had a chance to mail off my package to Lorna, it was mailed yesterday! I have caught up with all of the wonderful posts and I am in LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with everyones reels! The design for the bird houses is TO DIE FOR, so cute! And I was so happy to see Margo's post, my thoughts are with you! Speaking of LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, wishing everyone a lovely day!

I filled in for someone who was not able to do the exchange - mine are greens and go in the mail to Lorna today.

Love the red and blue, such happy colors!

Love your strips! Classic blue - when we have snowy days here in Canada, in twilight the snow looks blue, and we have plants that produce berries for the birds all during the winter - called snowberries which are white, so I'd go for calling them snowberry strips ( but I'm not sure that humans can eat them) The white polka dots being the snowberries! . whatever..blah, blah, blah...maybe I'm trying too hard . LOL Thank$ for being a part of thi$ exchange, even though it co$t you!

I've just sent my reels this morning



Ripe tomato relish and ....I have no ideas for the blue ones!

We won't be running an exchange from Australia any time soon! - the postage cost to send it to England was 3 times the cost of sending it back from England to here - gotta love Australia Post (NOT!!)

I got an email today from Lorna (thank you, Lorna) to say she received my reels. That was seven days from rural Wisconsin to the base in England. Not bad!

Crocus, thank you very much for your kind words and for clarifying things for me. You are very kind.

Yep!

Thanks Karen, I have to be ready for those spools when they arrive don't I?
