These are the quilt blocks that my quilt group received from the ladies in the US. They all live in and around Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Karen led the group on that side. She and I have been visiting each other's blogs for some time now. She asked me if we could maybe organize a swap. It has been great fun!
Here is Karen's block - wool pennies made from cotton fabrics...
Paulette's block - Pinwheel made of MN State fabrics by Moda
Jolene's block - Old Maid Puzzle
Kari's block - Northern Lights
Carolyn's block - Stripes and Star
Joyce's block - Lady of the Lake
Mary Ellen's block - Kaleidoscope
Carri Jane's block - Hole In The Barndoor
Marcia's block - Friendship Star
Ruthie's block - Fall Strip Piecing
Gail's block - Card Trick
Liz's block - Buggy Barn Star
If you missed the entry about the Dutch blocks sent over to the US, you can still see them here. I will be back sometime over the weekend with an update on some things I am working on. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

I am talking to you on Skype right now and ohhhhhhhh so happy you are up to blogging again. Just be sure to take time to rest. Sitting and stitching will be good for you.
I love these blocks. What a good thing for all of the ladies who did this on both sides of the pond.
I think everyone will treasure the quilts and hope we get to see all the finishes.
Love you, Your Mom (who is now relieved a little)
Well, nice Heidy madam!
I love this women enterpreneur.
I hope you will return to good health very, very soon. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for posting such lovely pictures.
I'm glad to hear you are out of hospital now.
I'm glad you're home and I will keep all my fingers crossed that the treatment is successful!!
Welcome back Heidi and sincerely hope the treatment is successful. The blocks are lovely also the names they have been given. In my thoughts, Love Hazel (UK)
Heidi I will pray that all will go very well and you will get much good news in the upcoming weeks and months.
The quilt blocks you received are very, very nice. I love their design choices.
Dear Heidi ~ I hope you recover quickly with much success. I love the blocks - they are beautiful. Very talented ladies.
I sent you an email earlier in the week about the "Welkom bij ons" x-stitch, I hope you received it.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Lovely quilt block exchanges Karen. I'm hoping your recovery progresses well from the treatment and you start to feel better real soon! Lots of warm wishes headed your way!
I'm glad you're back in your own home, the best place there is!
Now you can stitch as much as is possible in your condition. I hope it will all go as everyone wishes for.
Love the quiltblocks, I think they're stunning.

Hi Heidi,
I hope you are resting and relaxing a lot these days!
Are these real American themes? I wondered ... the Dutch ones were typical Dutch, but I don't know about the American ones since I am not a native! :)
Have a nice day & hugs, Carolien
I'm happy to read that you're home and recovering from the treatment. I hope that you'll continue to recover fully and no longer be troubled by the breathing difficulties.
What gorgeous blocks those are - each one so interesting. I love the idea of these international exchanges!
Fijn dat je er weer bent! Bloggen en handwerken, daar gaat het toch om!
These are so lovely!
Glad that you are back home now, and able to stitch again. All the best for the future. I hope it all goes well for you.
Lynne
I do hope that the treatment was successful and will help you to regain your health.
The blocks of the American ladies look beautiful, I particularly love the various fabrics and fabric colours they chose.
