"To the Women of Area 3,

It was a real pleasure for me to present my trunkshow to such an enthusiastic audience! I was SO overwhelmed with the amount of fabric that you folks shared with me for the National Guard quilts! I've never seen anything like that row of bags and containers spread out in front of me! Can't you all just imagine the fun and challenge I'll have in designing quilttops? I very much appreciate your ......... let me think....what's the word I want to say....... a word which expresses my appreciation of such support....... oh, what's the word .........I can't think of the appropriate word ........

oh yeah; "generous" (thanks, Kathleen), and also bountiful; greathearted; thoughtful; unsparing; kindly; lavish! You folks are the BEST! Thank you all so much; Carolee"

Are You Interested in Fabric Swaps? How About a Fat Quarter Lottery?

Did I peak you interest? I'm a member of the HGTV quilting board and the hostess for several different types of swaps. Currently, we are swapping 2 1/2" squares, bricks (3 1/2" x 6 1/2"), 5" charm squares AND a monthly FQ (fat quarter) lottery.

With the swaps and lottery, we have themes for each swap or in the case of the FQ lottery, two for each month.

If you are interested in any of the above swaps, please contact me at K1930C@yahoo.com for more information. In time, I will be posting the guidelines for each swap if you would like to participate.
