Hello!Have you missed me? Even if you haven't, tell me that you have - it'll make me feel good. :-)
It's Fall Market crunch time so I've been busy proofing patterns, sewing small quilts, etc. for my friends, Me & My Sister Designs. So, it's been a hubbub of activity. Sigh!
All work and no play tends to make me very unhappy. :-( So, I worked for a few hours this morning and then gave myself the rest of the day off. I finished assembling the blocks for "Summer" of the "Primitive Four Seasons" block of the month by The Country Loft. Hopefully, the first "Fall" block will be here today. And, I finally got around to making block #4 of the Designer Mystery Block of the Month from The Fat Quarter Shop - block #5 will be here soon. I've done a few embroidered blocks for a new project but they need to be pressed - I'll show them to you soon.
BTW, if you sent an e-mail about The Sewing Bird and didn't hear from me it's because you're set up for "no reply". The pattern is on a CD by Kathy Schmitz and available from Colonial Crafts. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZYCu46LEyyKKBvwWf3m96hL4Fuf3k6iv2MBjbyw86-0tDd3VHfnmLcAKVUwAlQasuEY2l_dhQO8wMGBWBle_nAcql1Tx9LfqOZyskfA3X6YZUMOs92oiI1FqlMPm8yW3OYd0BGg/s400/P9300002.JPG)
A few friends,
Carol,
Wendy,
Judy,
Sharon, and I recently completed a block swap for an adorable quilt. In the final package of blocks we all sent treasures to each other. I can't show you what
Sharon sent because Judy has not received hers and I don't want to ruin the surprise!
The following mini quilt is from
Judy - isn't it adorable? Gotta love those cute cards, too. :-) Thank you, Judy!

From
Carol - a wonderful sewing machine cover and pretty post its with matching pen. How did she know I'd been wanting a sewing machine cover? Blue and red - my favorite colors. Thank you, Carol.

From Wendy was this beautiful Schlep Bag and cute mini book titled "The End". I've been using my bag often and really have enjoyed it. Thank you,
Wendy!
