Comment: Hi Diane! Thank you so much for the clusters. Like you, it took me awhile to get the hang of creating them! The youtube gal made it look so easy ;+) Love the glittery elements and I'm especially fond of the one with the key. Loved the kitty notecard too ;+)
Comment: Diane, you have outdone yourself! Wow! Thank you! All of the charms are VERY cute and I can definitely use them in my current quilt. Also, thank you for all of the neat ribbons too. My favorite charm is the ants!

Comment: I really like your piece, even if you felt it was simplistic compared to your other work. Sometimes it’s good to present a challenge to what we normally do. It helps avoid falling into a rut! Thank you for sharing your work with me. Oh! And thank you for the cute die cuts as well!
Comment: Wow! Thanks for the zipper pouch Diane, its absolutely gorgeous! I'll certainly make use of it, if my daughter doesn't steal it away when she sees it. :)

I'll see you there!
Hugs,
Diane

Comment: I'm so sorry for the late rating! The holidays just had me chasing my tail a bit this year. I love the round mug rug you sent. We didn't put up a full size tree this year and instead had a small acrylic light up tree. The mug rug you sent stood in as a beautiful little tree rug. Thank you so much!
Comment: Thank you for the Fat Quarters. Nice color selections. Should have no problem finding a use for them. They say that the snow will be here in 2 days and then the deep freeze. TV says 9 degrees below zero on Christmas Day. Oh, no !!!!
Comment: Thank you for a great ATC. Great vintage design and elements. Thank you for the extras. I just say a Christmas card idea that will put several of those items to good use.
Comment: I agree-there are so many pretty napkins to work with. I like the one you chose for this one! Pretty background and added details. And thanks for the stickers and extras you enclosed. Thanks for sharing-Merry Christmas!
Comment: I’m so sorry I didn’t rate this as soon it came, it got mixed up with some other mail and just found it. 😠Thank you for all the goodies so enjoyed it! Merry Christmas 🎄
Comment: Diane, thank you so much for the beautiful journal. It’s been so much fun to look through and each time I do, I see something new. I loved the questions you asked throughout the book! I’ll have so much fun filling up this journal. Thank you again! â¤ï¸

I hope you enjoy a special thanksgiving with your family!
Comment: Oh goodness! You went above and beyond on this swap. I love all the envelopes, and finding all the extras tucked in. I love to use the little envelopes to send individual stickers, thank you so much!
Comment: This is a great ATC! I know what you mean about having to “think on itâ€. I did too! Thanks so much for the added goodies, I will be using them in my art journal. Thanks for great swap!
Comment: The block is pretty. I'm loving this swap for the same reason, use up the extras. What blocks I have so far are looking good. I really like the hexi. I'm gonna have to learn how to do it.
Comment: Great stickers! There was even one page (the hearts) that I'd bought for myself some time back and used up. I call it a rare and wonderful treat to be re-stocked, and get awesome new stickers on top of that. Thank you so much!
Comment: How do I begin to thank you for the awesome envies...and all the extras....wow! Love the batik! You really made my horrible day wonderful! Thank you for your creativity and thoughtfulness! Hearts galore!
Comment: I love the fabrics you sent! Thank you! I especially love the pin cushion you made...and what a great idea to mail it flat for stuffing later!
Comment: Thank you for the pin cushion craft and extra FQ!
Christmas row quilt ideas: the guild I joined did a house quilt and everyone went nuts for it at the raffle, so I found a Christmas pattern - http://www.quiltandsewshop.com/product/First-Snow-Digital-Quilt-Pattern
I don't see a pattern for this one, but I'm sure it's there somewhere. I'm trying to find a good pinwheel pattern and spotted this Christmas line quilt: http://www.pieceandquilt.com/2013/02/christmas-row-quilt.html
Response: Oh, I like the house with christmas tree one. Thanks for the link!
Comment: Thanks for the fun ATC! Love the pretty colors in it. I had fun with this one too... and I agree lots of ladies doing housework in heels! lol Thanks also for the cool teacup paper!
Comment: Diane, these are both so creatively spooky good! I used to use clips a lot I love how you used them .. both cards are so well made I love your ideas... thank you also for the great extras... wow! What a swap
Comment: Diane, I love all three of the cat ATC's you created!! Thank you! I appreciate you taking time to write a note. This is our 3rd year of homeschooling and I can see I think I'm now getting the hang of it 😉
I haven't thought of listening to audiobooks while crafting or even car riding... I will definitely implement this. Thanks!
Comment: Thank you for the lovely map atc you made and the extras <3 I usually keep the atcs in 9 pocket pages in a binder in the order I made. I place the receive card in the slot where I sent mine for that particular swap. I some times make duplicates ( or at least similiar ones) so I can compare my idea and others' idea on that theme.
Comment: Thanks for the cutie pup ATC! He's so cute! Thanks for the extra goodies as well! No ones ever given me stamps before. I can't wait to you them!
Comment: Diane, thank you for the FQ symbolizing Texas. You have had it pretty rough with the hurricane. We were very fortunate here in Eastern NC. Lots of rain. Shirley
Comment: Wow! You really spoiled me! 😃 Thank you for all the fun extras and I loved the owl ATC. I was glad to hear that your house didn't get flooded. Thoughts and prayers for you and your fellow Texans.
Comment: Thanks for the pretty patches! Welcome happy mail as we wait out Irma. I hope your local family stays safe as well. Thank you for the extras as well.

Comment: Thank you so much for the heartstrings blocks and the beautiful fabrics you included! I love them all. I'm looking forward to meeting you at the guild meeting.
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: OH MY GOODNESS! and yes I'm screaming....did you leave any thing in your sewing room for yourself? You sent me all the great stuff! I can never thank you enough for everything. I don't know which part is my favorite, maybe the cute ceramic pin cushion with button pins, or the beautiful 1930's print quilt block. No, maybe it's the birdie needle holder. Yikes, I can't decide! There are not enough hearts available to send you. Thank you so much dear, I'm very happy!
Comment: Heart, heart, heart! This is so lovely and so nicely done. Thank you so much. It's wonderful, as are the extras. Definitely worth waiting for!
Comment: I received your blocks today. The prints are so cute. I love them! I am also considering making a lap quilt with my blocks.. They are a lot of fun.
Comment: Thanks! I have already found projects for the sunflower buttons, and I have a set of strips from the same fabric as the red - great to have a full FQ!
Comment: Oh my gosh, Diane. I thought I had rated you for this swap. I loved the book of gift ideas. I was sure I had already rated this. Perhaps I didn't hit the box that said Save ratings. So sorry for this oversight. I truly loved your package with the birds and the book. Thanks again.
Comment: OMG I love it! The fabric was perfect, you would think you knew me personally. You did a great job. I see some great gifts in your future. Thank you very much. <3
Comment: Sorry I'm late rating you, have been trying to get quilts ready to hand out, let this swap get past me, (even though the rug is on the computer desk).
