My quilting group of friends have also been swapping, so I have the last blocks to make and we will be finished also. Hopefully I will get that done today.
A funny thing happened after I posted about the cottage swap...an online friend Betsy at Quilting Fiesta
wanted to participate, but I thought I would get too confused trying to keep track of an online swap as well as the local swap. Betsy decided to host her own cottage swap online. She asked me to participate and of course I couldn't resist. How her's differs is that each of us (12 involved) picked a month. We then make 12 blocks once and send them out to the others. The rest of the year we get to just sit here and wait for them to come in the mail! My month was August, so I had some fun using some bathing beauties I had sitting around.
It has been a very fun swap...here is the January block I received yesterday in the mail from Christina...I love it! She did a little applique to make snow on the chimney...isn't it cute?

Jean your quilting group's cottages are just as cute.
That is such a great idea..and really cute cottages, can't wait tosee what you do with them.
Jean I like your cottage with the kitty and lace curtains. Cute ideas.
so glad to see your post and learn how our swap actually got started!
Be sure to tell us what your group does with their cottages Jean, so we Cottage Swappers have some ideas when our swap concludes! It sure has been fun - huh?
How adorable and what a great idea. I like those cottage blocks too. Love the kitties in the windows. It sounds like you are full of ideas and everyone is enjoying the projects. Can't wait to see your cottage quilts.
