New Quilt Swap

This is the quilt (about 23" square) and the label on the back that I did for a new swap. I titled it "Texas Wildflowers" and it is on its way to Norway!! I check out this "Quilting Bloggers" site every once in awhile....very neat site...has quilters, shops, etc from all over the world. The moderator has ongoing activities and this month the swap was Spring Blooms Mini Quilt Swap. I thought that sounded interesting so I signed up. There are about 100 quilters signd up; then the moderator sent each of us an address to be mailed by June 21st. Simple regulations...between 24" and 12" inches, something about the topic, and that is about it.

After getting my address (all the swap quilters are listed) I looked up my lady. And I discovered the neatest thing! Her website was totally in Norwegian of which I speak not a word....but while looking around and at her pictures, etc. I discovered a place to click on, choose my language, and it was automatically translated for me!!! Very cool!!! Now, I want to get that access on my blog, so I am looking into how to do it.

On the home front....very warm today and continueing to be. We have the grand dog for a few days...she loves coming to the country!!! I met with my trainer at the YMCA today...she showed me a few new things for leg exercises to help build up muscles without putting stress on my knees....I am a firm believer in use it or loose it (even more than I have already lost!) And, lastly, we were pathetic losers at poker last night...but good fun and mucho laughs!!!
