Deadline nearing/Photos coming

Hi everyone - we are now just about a month away from the photo deadline - I'm expecting a bit of a rush after the Easter holidays as I know I won't be the only person who has more time for sewing during that period!  However, I do have a good handful of quilt photos in already, so be on the lookout for the first batch of photos being posted in the next few days (though not tonight).

To the maker of the quilt "Fun and Games" who emailed me worried their emails weren't getting through, I did get them (with photos) and have responded to you, so don't panic - not sure why you are getting bounce messages, but wanted to say something here just in case you don't get my email...

Deadline approaching faster than seems possible...

Hi everyone - just a little reminder that the deadline for photos for the swap is a little over a month away - the 7th of April. Where does the time go? Anyway, I have had a good handful of photos in for the swap already, but if you are putting yours off like a certain hostess whose name I won't mention because April is "miles away", well, perhaps you need to start thinking of what you are going to make!  I look forward to seeing your quilts...

Here, but busy...

Just to say, if you have emailed me about the swap recently, I am not ignoring you, but I've got a lot of stuff on at the moment, and as I have a handful of emails, some with questions which need answering or problems which need addressing, I haven't quite got around to spending the time on them yet. Soon, I promise!
