At one time, I used to pride myself on being on time with swaps and such. I don't know what happened to that version of myself because these days I seem to never be on time. And then if I do finish something on time, getting to the post office is always a chore. I've had things sit around for weeks waiting to go to the post office. Yes, I know I can print postage at home and do carrier pick-up, but that doesn't seem to happen either.
Anyway, a few months ago I signed up for Linda's patchwork swap. I was partnered up with Heather, who got her swap package out to me within days. Yes, days! Immediately, I hung the little patchwork piece of art on my wall. Isn't great? Oh, and she also sent a nice assortment of scraps. Y'all know how much I love scraps!
I think I finished my part of the swap only a few weeks after the deadline, but it wasn't until last week that I got it into the mail. I made Heather some patchwork coasters, which is something that I'm very much in need of at my house. I even made myself a few, but never finished them (who knows when I'll get to that). At least I did get 4 completed for Heather. To make up for my tardiness, I made my scrap bundle to her extra thick.
Now I need to move on to all the quilt blocks I'm behind on for my quilting bees....
