In my
Treadle On group, we had a canning jar block exchange. I exchanged 4 sets (of 6) blocks. I got my exchange blocks in the mail while I was at my family reunion this past weekend. I received 25 blocks instead of the 24 blocks I was supposed to receive. Hopefully they will tell me where to mail the 'extra' block to. I'd hate for someone else to be short a block.
I did some figuring, and out of 25 blocks, there were 16 different participants, and the blocks were made on 16 different treadles or hand crank sewing machines. These blocks came from 12 different states and 1 block came from the UK. What fun!

ReplyDeleteOh what a really cute bunch of jars! Love that pattern..looking forward to seeing how you "put them up" LOL hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYou didn't get any of my peanuts! I can't wait to see what blocks I get, I'm surprised I have not gotten mine yet! Hopefully today!
ReplyDeleteYou are now well stocked! This would be my way of canning. (Did a bunch with my Mom, but almost none since I married. Too much mess and work.) Can't wait to see your quilt.
ReplyDeleteHugs
So glad you got my blueberries made on the Little Vesta - it's just great to see the photo and think it has travelled all that way! Haven't received mine yet - hope to get them by Friday!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute and will be awesome in a quilt. I have made bugs in jars, but love the foods! CAn't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt idea!!! You'll have fun putting those together :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great blocks! I love the different contents in the jars. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteKind of jealous--always wanted to make one of these! Sounds like you've been having fun!
ReplyDeleteNice collection! I only sent and received 12. I got so excited I've put them together already, and will post a pic for all to see eventually. This was a particularly fun TOBE! Cheers
ReplyDeleteBetter than the one with jars full of bugs that I quilted for a friend.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely swap - you are going to have a wonderful 'cupboard' of jars.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection!
ReplyDeleteThese are some of the nicest canning jars that I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! The canning jars are so cute and what a fun and easy exchange. What are you going to do with them now?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got my watermelon and lemon blocks. Please let me know.
ReplyDeleteThere was not enough room on the lid to leave an email addy. I think I got three of you blocks.
