SharonG/FL

Sally, DH usually gets the mail, but he's out at DD's today contributing to the 'labor' in Labor Day. Anyway, I just remembered to check the box and I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. The last few days have been so stressful and to receive your beautiful blocks, fabric postcard and kleenex case brought some tears. I know it isn't even Sept yet, but I needed this! I've not seen that pink or black fabric and I really like it...its so soft looking. You know I'm going to take all this to the retreat and show them off!

Thank you, my friend, you certainly made my day!

SharonG/FL

Sue/polardream, Your block came today....outstanding!!! I'm glad you had fun cause it sure is eye candy for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Linda/toolgranny, Do I get to raid your suitcase? lololol

SharonG/FL

Mom, you'll have to take a picture with all your blocks in it and post it so I can have a looksie! Have fun at your retreat.
Salijo

You can be sure there will be a picture so all can see the beauties!

Sharon,
I guess you are off to retreat. So glad you felt the love sent in your package. Have been at our DD because of Gustav. Our little town, Morgan City, LA, made the national weather news. We are blessed. We lost a section of fence and one small tree but had no major damage. We got electricty and water back last night. The electricity was off again this morning about 3 hrs.
Looking forward to seeing all your hearts.

Sally

Sharon, I will be a tad late on your block. I should have it in the mail by the end of the week.

Rebecca

No problem, Rebecca.

When we got home, there was one from Helen waiting for me. Helen, How precious!!!! It looks like strawberry hearts on a vine. Thank you so much!

So far, I've received from 5 people. Jennifer (I received hers last Feb when we did the applique class), Sally, Linda (received hers at camp...great job of rev applique), Sue, and Helen.

Thank you one and all!

SharonG/FL

Sharon mine will be late also. I'm so sorry. I'll try to get it in the mail by Friday. I hope you have a great birthday! ~Abbigail~

Sharon,
I put your block in the mail today. I'm running alittle late. Hope you have a great birthday! Tara (tdsully)

Thanks for letting me know.....I'll be watching the mail.

I've already had a most wonderful birthday gift from DH with him taking me to the quilt retreat, waiting on me and watching out for me while there.

Sharon

Sharon,

I mailed yours today, I hope it makes it there on time, but I'm not holding my breath. I finished it a week ago and then had to go out of town and didn't get to the post office before I left - shoot. I hope you have a great birthday!

Lola

Sharon, I mailed your squishie today! It is soooo cute, I wanted to keep it!

Rebecca

Sharon, I got your block in the mail today. Have fun at the tereat! ~Abbigail~

I received 2 blocks in the mail today!

Lola, It never dawned on me that you had asked for that pattern for my BD block! How much of a DUH moment do you think I had when I read your card? You did a good job with it and got the star perfect, too! Thank you!!!!

Tara, I don't think I've seen this pattern, or the fabrics before! It's gorgeous! Can't thank you enough!!!!

Did I say I love pink??????

Yes, had a great birthday! There's a group singing Happy Birthday to me on our answering machine and I don't know who they are! lololol I'm thinking they're family, but I don't really know who all were involved.

Sharon

Two more blocks have arrived! One from Rebecca and one from Abbigail.

Rebecca, I see what you mean about it being so cute! It really is and I like the stitching you used, too! Thank you!!

Abbigail, I see a heart within a heart in your block and love the fabric. Thank you so much!!

None of the heart patterns or pink fabrics are the same. You girls are fantastic!!!!

Three more to go..... @:)

SharonG/FL

Well, as you know by now, I was involved in the birthday phone call singing badly in three-art harmony. There were six of us and I know at least 4 of us are supposedly very good singers. But in our defense, we WERE in a moving vehicle and on a big HIGH on our way to the AMERICAN IDOL CONCERT! Yah baby!

3 part harmony birthday call??? lol, that sounds like it must have been a hoot on your answering machine!

I'm just finishing up your block and will be getting it into the mail in the next several days. I will let you know when I do :) Happy (belated) birthday!

Sharon -
My profound apologies! Your block is not on its way yet, but I have not forgotten you. Life has just been crazy around here. I cannot promise it for this week, but you will have it before the end of the month for sure!.

Jeener

I figured the singers were family and had guessed 3 of them. I never figured that particular group of gals to get together, but glad they did. Our family is made up of a number of excellent harmony singers, some even try to sing off-key in harmony when they all get together! Or, the song You Are My Sunshine? Singing it You Are My Lemon with the lips pursed. My brother's family started that one.

Thank you cziga and jeener for keeping me updated. Pixieab has been in touch, too.

SharonG/FL

Penny, I received your block today! It's so elegant and feminine.....I love it! Thank you so much!!! (I keep saying I want one of those machines!)

SharonG/FL

Sharon, so glad you like your block. Thank you for allowing me venture off track from the regular block styles.
I do love my machine and am up past my eyebrows in projects at the moment!!lol)
Between work and sewing, sleep is taking a distant third and don't even mention housework!!
Unfortunately I'm still behind on Helen's....hope to have it in the mail this week.

Penny

Oh this time of year is crazy . . . notorious for falling behind at the beginning of fall but I'm starting to get back on track and caught up on everything.

Sharon, your block is in the mail now, and should be getting to you shortly. Sorry for the belated-ness of the birthday, but I hope you like the block! It was fun finding all the different fabrics :)

Sharon,
I have completed and posted your block in the mail! So sorry about the delay. I did enjoy making the block and can't wait to see them all together!

Jeener

cziga and jeener, Thank you.....I'll let you know when they arrive.

SharonG/FL

Jeener, I received your block today. That one pink fabric almost looks airbrushed! Gorgeous! Thank you.

Sharon

I'm waiting for one more block - should I go ahead and post a pic of what I have or wait?

SharonG/FL

If it is mine that you are still waiting for, it should be there very shortly . . . it has been in the mail for almost 2 weeks now :)

I CAN'T STAND THE SUSPENSE!!!!!!!!!!
They all sound gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
