I Spy Fabric...Last of the Pictures

Hi all my I Spy Swappers. I just received the last package yesterday, so I thought I would share the final batch of pictures with you. These are all so great and varied...we are going to have a such a wonderful I Spy quilt. This batch will not disappoint!! The pictures aren't so clear for some reason, but the fabric is just beautiful in person
space
This first set is from Sandra in Ohio

space
Next is from Laurie in Ohio
space
These are from Linda in Georgia

and these are from Tina in Rhode Island.

This set was sent in from Lexi in D.C.

and these are from Char in Mississippi.
space

These are from Sheila in Ohio
space

Sara from Ohio sent in these.
space

and these are from Kelly in Ohio as well...wow lots from Ohio in this group!
space

Judy from Texas sent these in.
space

and these are from Donna, another Texan.
space

The last set is mine, but I'm not sure what that shadow is on the last fabric, because it's not there in person.
space

Ok, they're all in. I will start separating them this week. It may take me a little bit to separate them, package them up and then mail them out, but I will let you know when they are off to the post office. Hopefully they'll be in the mail next week.

space

Thanks again for being a part of this swap...it's been such fun and I've loved meeting a lot of new friends. This definitely won't be my last swap. I'm hoping to do another in January some time.

space

I'm off to work on my sewing room, so I can have space to separate all the squares. All the furniture painting and woodwork is done. Now I'm loading stuff back in. I've been taking pictures along they way, so I'll share them when it's all done. I haven't heard from the insurance company yet...I'll have this beautiful sewing room, but no sewing machine. I think I should be hearing from him this week...keep your fingers crossed.

Take care,

I Spy Fabric and Great Blogs to Share...

Hi everyone...it's Sunday morning here in the northeast. It's cold, raining cats and dogs and the wind is whipping. We went to church last night, so we are in for the day...woo hoo! I am determined to catch up, catch up, catch up. I know you all know that feeling, but I am going to do it today. I'll do a post tonight to let you know how far I've gotten...just putting pressure on myself from the whole world...that ought to get things done.
space
Here's the first thing on my list, sharing the 3 packages of fabric I received this week from our I spy swappers. For some reason on Saturday when I put the memory card in the scanner of the computer, the picture/scanner wizard thingy didn't pop up and let me down load the pictures. It did it earlier this week, not sure why it didn't do it Saturday and it gave me a little trouble this morning. Must not be much of a wizard then!
space
Well, here are the cutest fabrics...I say it every time, but they get better and better, with no duplicates. Don't forget to check below these pictures for links to 2 wonderful blogs I have to share.
space
This set is all the way from Holland from Kim
space
space
These are from Elizabeth in Mississippi.
space
space
and these are from Pokey in California.
space

Thanks ladies for another unbelievable batch of fabrics.
space

Remember the post I did that linked all the swapper's blogs. Well, Lynda from Maine just started one right after that list, so I wanted to share her blog with all of you.

space

The name of Lynda's blog is From My Farmhouse Window. You must go see her beautiful pictures of the fall foliage and of course her beautiful quilts! Go take a peek.

space

Another swapper Lexi from Tea and Crumpets wanted me to share a blog called Craft Hope.

space

From the about page of Craft Hope it explains "Craft Hope is a faith-based, love inspired project designed to share handmade crafts with those less fortunate. It is our hope to combine our love for crafting and desire to help others into a project to make a difference around the world."

space

There are different project happening all the time. The most recent one is "Margaret's Hope Chest". Please go read about it on the Craft Hope's blog, but Margaret's Hope Chest will provide a quilt to homeless children in the Grand Rapids, Michigan Public School System during the Christmas season. The deadline is November 15th, but you may already have a quilt made from your stash that you could send.

space

Thanks for stopping by and now I'm off to start checking things off my "To Do" list.. one of which is a recipe I have to share with you later.

space

See you soon,

~Karen~

Another Batch of I Spy Fabric...

Sorry these pictures are a little late in the weekend. I picked up Courtney at college on Friday for the long weekend break. Saturday we were busy dying her hair, doing laundry, going to a pumpkin farm for mums and pumpkins and then out to dinner. The kids also went to "Trails of Terror" later that night and were scared to death. No really...they came home petrified, laughing, talking fast and telling stories! They went on a haunted hay ride and a haunted maze in the pitch dark. Sunday we went to church, out to breakfast and then our town has a very big Columbus Day Parade. Kelsie marched as one of the captains for the dance line team with the high school marching band. After the parade, we came home for a nice homemade dinner of spaghetti, meatballs and sausage and it was yummy. Family fun the whole weekend and we still have one more day off.
space
So now I'll stop talking and show more pictures of the I Spy fabric I received last week for the swap. They are all so cute and still no duplicates!!!
space
This first set is from Angel in Washington:

space
and these are from Naoko all the way from Japan!!
space

space
the next are from Della in Ohio
space

space
then there are these from Annette in Utah:

space

and Evelyn from Washington sent these:
space

Sandra from Australia sent this next set and I have to mention that she fussy cut the trains for us. Thanks Sandra for the extra work!
space

The next set is from Zlaty in Pennsylvania:
space

and these are from Robin in Florida:
space

and last but not least, Diane set these from Florida:
space

With these last sets, that makes 24 packages already!! A very big thank you to everyone. So excited for the mail next week. Tomorrow is a holiday here in the states, so no postal delivery. Don't they know we have a swap going on here? I keep holding back on buying my fabric. I purchased one type already, but I have the advantage of waiting, so I won't have a duplicate. It's killing me not to buy what I've seen so far in our local quilt shop. I'll have more pictures when new ones come in this week.
