It's Here!

First of all, I apologize for the huge delay. I have been swamped with kids, concerts, anniversary parties, Christmas projects (including 4 quilts started after Thanksgiving! almost done!)!!! Thanks for your patience.

Here's the rules: Make 9 quilt blocks exactly the same. Please make sure your cutting accurate, and your finished square is exact on meassurements. Colors are black and ivory. There is a link below to get the pattern "CASTLE IN THE AIR" (12" block). It's super easy and fast. Mail them to me at 7212 NE Lessard Rd, Camas WA 98607 by February 1st along with $5.00 cash, and I will sort and send your 9 blocks back ASAP. As soon as I get everyone's blocks, I will post the next block pattern and time frame. Feel free to post pictures of your block and finished quilt on this blog. We would all love to see who did what, and finished quilts.

http://www.quilterscache.com/ Go to "where do you want to go today?"; "quilt blocks galore..."; "alphabetized list"; click on "A-F", find Castle in the Air.

If you know anyone who would like to join the next time around, just send them to this blog and post a comment. I will add them to the list next time.

I AM SO EXCITED! I hope you all are too.

Happy Holidays! Enjoy your families and the season! It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!

Patience is a virtue!

Yes I know, I'm late putting up the pattern and details. I am confirming the last few gals, and will have all the details posted in the next day or too.

Here we go!

My mom and I are so excited to start this block exchange with you all. Please post here with your email information or email me (elizabethplock@gmail.com ) directly if you'd like to participate with us. Here's the paticulars about our exchange: We have four blocks planned for 2009. The first will be due at the end of February; second due end of May; third due end of August; fourth due middle of November. Please indicate if you are interested in a get-together to exchange our blocks or if you would just prefer to mail them to me and I will mail to everyone. Of course, you can change your mind later if you'd like to come, but I would like to know if there is enough interest to organize our first exchange in February. Feel free to pass this along to anyone you think would like to join. The more the merrier! Hurry and spread the word. The deadline to sign up for the first block is November 15th. The color scheme will be black and ivory. I will post the block pattern and more details on November 15th. Can't wait to get started!
