Started my projects

These are the fabrics I received two weeks ago.  Today I started working on my projects and am happy to say I am thrilled to have one project completed and another cut out.  Once I finished the second project I will post pictures.

Fabrics to work with.....

Mandy is my swap partner.  What a delight she is!!!  She is very on efficient and I had my fabric two days after the information was sent out.  How great is that.

I'm not 100% sure what I am going to make with them, but I've had sick kiddos and the brain cells are firing a little slower than usual.  Have a great weekend all and thanks for the challenge Mandy.

In the Bag...

My fabrics have arrived!

All the way from Texas!

With 2 great magazines...and guess what!

I think I found a pattern in one of them!

Can't wait to dig into my stash & have some fun!

*A note for my partner:
Thank you so much for being kinder than me.  I wasn't thinking about things "playing nice" when I picked the fabrics! :0)

The mailman came today with lots of color in a parcel

Today, was a fun day with the mail delivery by my mailman, Andy. My swap fabrics arrived from BJ in Arizona. I have to admit, when these came I was thinking...What am I going to do with these? BJ said she felt bad as she liked the fabrics I sent to her...did you catch that....she liked them......I was so ashamed of what I was sending to her, I did not take a photo. I always say...beauty is in the eye of the beholder! At least I hope BJ may have liked at least one of the fabrics and was not too upset!!

I had one lady who wanted to do this challenge twice, and because of the number of participants, I decided to be her partner as well. So I will be doing two challenges this go around. My fabrics have not arrived from my other partner yet, but they are traveling a long way.....she got a piece in her package like BJ did...can't not wait to see what they do with their "Uglies"

Now, don't despair too much over this stack of fabrics...notice the bottom left is orange and pink....FISH.....I know exactly what I am going to do with these, and I can hardly wait to start. Seriously...I am super excited. Tomorrow, I am going to cut these up and search my stash for some added color and neutrals and get ready to sew something wonderful!

My husband asked me tonight just how many more projects do I think I need to start......I said...well at least two more!!!! One with these fabrics and one with the fabrics that are now flying over large bodies of water to get Texas. Optimistic?? Well...maybe...but I am really looking forward to it!!

Oh boy...They're here!!

Ok!  Came home and found that my package had arrived!  Heres what I got from my swap partner Genie in Virginia...She even included a cute little handmade bookmark and an adorable paper pad, Thanks Genie!! I'm ready to make some magic happen!
