My blogging friend in FL (Quilting Fiesta...click
HERE to see her blog) decided to do a year-long cottage swap and I am pleased to be part of that. She and 11 others (myself included) each have a month. I am "Miss February". For our month, we are to make 12 wonky cottage blocks with fabrics that represent that particular month. We keep one for ourselves and send the other 11 to their new homes. It sounds like a lot of fun. I ordered a batch of fabric and some cute buttons (to send along for doorknobs on each of the cottages) from Fabric.com and it came today. (See the photos.) I am happy with the fabrics and they included a couple of "cutesies".....a lollipop that says "Go Sew" and a packet of seeds for their 10th anniversary with a cute saying on the back (shown in the last photo).
ALSO...any of you who were following the bag giveaway that was seen on here (after I won Round 3) and didn't win can go try your luck for one of the two remaining rounds by clicking on HERE and going to Ooglebloops' blog.

The cottages are going to make a really great swap quilt, I assume kinda like a calendar with the cottage taking on the "feel" of that particular month? Have fun! I've been keeping up here and there but haven't been online much lately. Things are slowing down now and I'm back to good health, yipppeeee. Happy sewing.
Great swap!! Thanks for the link for the bag giveaway!! I thought I linked it, but I guess not - got a few more folks participating after you did that!!!
Sounds like a wonderful swap! Great fabrics and goodies! 8-)
