I received these pretty floral Hexie flowers from Sandra S in Ohio, they will fit in my Flower Garden beautifully.
Thank you so much for making them for me.
Sandra also sent a recipe card for Ohio Buckeye Candy, it looks so yummy, I can't wait to try it.
A big hug from Rosalie H.

From Shannon to Alice

Alice, i wanted to post a picture of the flowers I sent to you for every body to see. I hope they found you!!

April love!

Do you remember Pat Boone and his lovely song April Love?  I do! I was only 14!!!!!
 Well, now my Batik Flower Garden has two more lovely flowers sent by Alice not from the Wonderland but from a wonderful place in North California.
Here is a pic of my flowers and a postcard showing Mount Shasta covered with snow,  catching a warm sunshine in Lisbon on a wonderful April morning.
Thanks Alice, they are gorgeous!

More pretty pinks!

My mailbox was overflowing with pink hexies this week.  these arrived on Monday, and came along with one of Melody's cute little scissor fobs.  Thanks so much Melody!

I have finally caught up with all my hexies, yeah! I have spent a large number of hours in the car in the last couple of weeks so I have done a lot of hand sewing.

I finished a set of hexies for Erica who wanted fussy cut or borders or stripes with a coordinating solid centre. I made 3 because I am late (February), I hope they are suitable for her garden.

I also finished my flowers for Dorrit (March) who wanted blue with blue centre and pink with yellow centre.

And finally 2 flowers for Edda (April) who wanted repro fabric with a white centre.

I have also received some gorgeous flowers from Beverly (Dec)

and these ones from Ana (March)

And I am only missing my February flowers now...

All caught up now... until next month!

Lovely Pink Flowers

When I came home from work on Friday, rain was coming down in torrents, and I didn't stop at the mailbox.  This is what I found on Saturday morning!  Beautiful pink flowers on a beautiful Spring day.  These are from Marie.  Thanks so much Marie!!

Flowers for March

These lovely hexies and cute little crochet heart have just been received and are from Lara in Australia.

They are the hexie flowers for March and the last I will receive for a while as I have had to pull out until I can get myself and my health straightened out.

I would like to send a big thank you to Kris for getting me up to date, it has been so very much appreciated.

I hope at some stage I can do a photo of all the wonderful hexie flowers I have received since the beginning of this great swap group.  

With hexi love,

Wow! Party at my mail box. I am the lucky recipient of some beautiful new flowers to add to my garden.
Anette from Denmark sent me beautiful flowers in blue and turquoise.

Beverly from Oklahoma sent me a blue polka dot flower and a fun red, white and blue star flower. I am making a red, white and blue patriotic table runner for my kitchen table--to use in July. It couldn't be more perfect.
Thanks dear friends for your hard work on my behalf--what an awesome group to belong to.
Enjoy this beautiful spring/fall weather--wherever you are in the world. Spring and fall are my two favorite seasons. Looks like I could travel anywhere right now and enjoy the beauty of the seasons.

And the Winner IS....

Susan Linn!!  Congratulations Susan.  I've already sent you an e-mail.

I am disappointed that only ten of the forty-five eligible swappers in this group participated in the give-away.  Does that mean that the other thirty-five didn't look at the blog all week?

I would look for other give-aways but I am not going to spend the time and energy if the group isn't interested.  What's YOUR opinion.  Please let me know.

Janet 

Very pretty flowers from Cathy T arrived a couple of days ago (my send to me March partner).  Thank you so much.  I really love them.  Flowers for Dawn C. (my send to partner for April) went into the mail today.  Best wishes to everyone for a great April.  Coralie in Canada

I received these flowers from Erica. Thank you so much. I love them!!

Grit from Germany

March hexies done!

Hi there Kate,

I made your hexies for March very slowly.  One or two seams a day!  But they are done and will be flying off to you in tomorrow's mail.  Here is a sneak peek.

Our friend and fellow swapper Leslie suggested putting the holes in the paper templates to make them easier to remove.  It's a great idea!

April Swap list, a giveaway and other exciting news from our sponsors

Hi all,

I sent out the April list earlier today.  Please review who you are giving to and receiving from on both the swap list and the member list and let me know asap if there are any problems.

We are saying good-bye to three swappers this month.  Melody, Lorraine and Natasha, thanks for participating and we will miss you!

We have two new swappers to welcome!!  Diane from New Jersey, USA and Geraldine from Northampton, England.

There are three spots available in the swap.  Please pass this on to anyone you know who might want to join.

Our very own Joanne from Possom Blossom Patchwork is offering a giveaway to one of our swappers this month.  Joanne is situated in Australia and runs an on-line business selling EPP papers in a variety of shapes and sizes as well as precut fabric hexagons.   Joanne will also cut fabric into hexagons to order. And she also sells quilting fridge magnets. :)

The lucky winner will receive a 100 pack of hexagon die-cut papers or die-cut card - winner's choice.  Joanne will ship anywhere.

To enter please go to Joanne's store and check it out.  Then come back and let us know which of her precut small fabric hexagons you like best.  I will close the giveaway on April 7th at noon Pacific Daylight Time.

In other exciting news Paper Pieces has agreed to become a sponsor of the blog.  Paper Pieces is situated in the US and the on-line store offers EPP acrylic templates and paper pieces in a wide variety of shapes and sizes as well as EPP books and patterns.

Jessica is offering members of this swap 20% off in the store, valid on the entire shopping cart but DOES NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING.  If you wish to purchase from Paper Pieces you will need to contact me for the coupon code.  As it is for members of this swap only, please do not share the code with others.    



Hopefully this is enough excitement to keep us all going for the month of April!!
