A Swap and A Class

Well, the *Picture-Perfect* Polaroid Block Swap is well underway! 70(!) swappers are making blocks like crazy, and more are arriving at my house every day! The mosaic below shows most of them! Thirteen packs have actually arrived, a total of 525 blocks. Savinggrc/Karen has added up 2025 committed blocks so far, and has agreed to keep tabs on the total as the blocks continue to ship.
1. Materialmoments', 2. CityHouseStudio, 3. IMG_0290, 4. 45 Polaroids to swap, 5. Polaroid Blocks, 6. Polaroid Swap, 7. Whew! I'm done!, 8. Picture perfect polaroid swap blocks, 9. Polaroid Swap, 10. 50 Polaroids Ready To Go, 11. All done with my polaroid patches!!, 12. more for the Swap - Sign Ups Open
As for the class, how would you feel if you received an email from the teacher saying, "I'll be making up fabric kits for each of you to use while learning the techniques, as well as bringing my scrap bins for you all to dig through." Uh yeah, me too. Especially when the teacher is Katie of Sew Katie Did. So I'm pretty excited this morning as I pack up my sewing supplies, machine, and copy of Quilting Modern, and head off to take her Improvisational Patchwork class. I'll be sure and report back, but meanwhile, see ya later!

    Congratulations on such an awesome swap, Debbie! Hopefully you'll still have room to sew with all those packages piling up! And yeah, your morning sounds just a little more exciting than mine. Can't wait to see what you learn!

    The pics are looking fab, I'm sure everyone will be delighted with their blocks! Have a blast at the class - Katy Jones brought her scraps to FQR, but I was a bit ashamed to rummage too much - others, I saw afterwards, were less reticent...

    Fun to see all these photos of all the blocks together--thanks again for doing this for us! (I'll slip the handsigned one for you into the mail as soon as my company leaves.)

    And wow--have fun in your class. I just returned from Long Beach and my head is still processing all the interesting things I saw and learned.
