New Siggys!!!!

        The lovely blue siggy is from Monique in

Canada. 

The pretty yellow one is from Irena, who is in the Czech Republic. 

 

And this beautiful floral siggy is from Terry in Ohio.  You know, Terry as in Terry's Treasures Blog :)

I really love collecting these little jewels, someday, when I have about 100 of them,

I will put them all together to make an awesome "Around the World Siggy Quilt".

I'm over half way there!!!!!!

Hugs,

International Siggy Arrived:)

This siggy from Almut K. of Germany arrived over the weekend.  She enclosed the lovely postcard with it, showing some of the architecture of her land, and of course a little note, telling me a little about her.  I thought the postcard was a wonderful idea :)

More Cool Quilty Mail....

This week I received some more "quilty" mail, isn't that the best kind *grin*

I received these two wonderful blocks as a thank you for the swap I am hosting on a group I belong to:)  I'm thinking they just might make nice corner blocks:)

I also received a very pretty siggy from Gina in Indiana.  She's new to the International Siggy Group.  She's also new to quilting...Looks like she is fitting in just fine!!!

Hugs & Blessings,

New International Siggy

This siggy is from Marij in the Nederlands.

I love the picture she put in the center:)

She said she collects sewing tools and

notions, and that is why she chose this picture.

Too Cute:)

Hugs,

New Siggy:)

Received this very pretty siggy this week from Nicola in Germany.
She chose the mushroom because it brings good luck, so this way
she says she can send a little piece of good luck to all her siggy-swap
friends all over the world.  Such a very sweet thought :)

My International Siggy count is now 57 received.

New Siggies :)

More new siggies have arrived in the past week:)

They are all so very very pretty...so I am once

again sharing pictures of them:)

               This lovely one is from Dorine in the Nederland.  She wrote that she used the "Fleur de Lis", French lilly, because her town is Lelystad.

This little beauty is from Eva in Hessen, Germany.

She belongs to a patchwork group, and I believe she has been quilting for about 15 years.  Love the little appliqued hexagon in the center.

This wonderful little kitty came from Carolyn in Iowa:)  Absolutely adore the calico kitty...too cute.  Oops the cat lover is showing again, hehehe.

And last, but certainly not least is this beautiful one from Alessandra in Italy.  She lives about an hour and half from Venice, in a small village in the country.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my newest siggies. 

Hugs & Blessings,

Terry

Super Siggy Week:)

Unbelievable Siggy Week!!!!!

I received all these siggys in the last week:)

I was amazed when all these siggys started arrriving over the past week...but aren't they all so beautiful:)

Everyone on the International List is responding so quickly.

My official siggy count is now 52.

Oh I have one more...My dear Sister-in-law gave me 2, because I couldn't make up my mind which one I liked best (LOL)

I guessI better get busy sewing up some more little siggy

darlings to get mailed

this month:) 

Hugs & Blessings,

International Siggy Received

Isn't this one so very cute!!!

I love the kitty:)

This lovely siggy is from Mary Kruimer of the Netherlands.

She has been quilting for about 25 years.  Her embroidery work is beautiful.

The back of her siggy looks just as nice and neat as the front.

Thank you very much for the siggy, Mary.

International Siggies Received

This week I was lucky enough to receive 2 International siggies :)

The first one from Erich S. from Austria.  This is the first Siggy that I have received from a male quilter.  He embroideried his initials on the center.  Pretty cool, huh?  Very nice Siggy too :)

The next siggy is from Ludy N. of The Netherlands.  Love her angel drawing.  She collects angels, so that is what she used for the center of her siggy.  Also a very pretty siggy :)

 Both siggies came with lovely letters.  The letters are just as enjoyable as the siggies :)
Many Thanks to both swappers :)

Hugs & Blessings,
Terry

Siggy From France

Yesterday I received this beautifully embroidered siggy from Ghislaine Veit who is from Saint Cyr sur Mer, France :)    I also received a short letter from her, which is written in French!  Well it has been around 40 years since I took French in high school, but I gave translating it a try....I think I got most of it, not quite all of it.  So here goes:  She thanked me for the siggy. It seems she has 2 daughters and 5 small children (grandchildren, I think).  And has been quilting since her retirement 5 years past.  She hopes that I accept her siggy with pleasure.  (I do accept her siggy with much pleasure)  There are a couple other sentences that I just could not figure out :(  And to think that I thought I would never use those French classes...who would have thought that they would come in handy... in quilting of all places :)

I looked up where she lives and found that it is located on the southeastern coastal region of France.  It is a community based on agriculture and tourism.  In their town square is a replica of the Statue of Liberty!  

My New International Siggys

I have been working on a new design for my International Siggys.  These are the ones I will be sending out :)  I change my design every year, at least so far I have.  I find new fabric or a new center design I want to try, so it changes :)  This will be my 3rd year in the International Swap, I have received many beautiful siggys.  I haven't been real active, I only have around 40 so far. But this year I plan to change that!

Anyway here is a picture of my progress so far:

I found this fabric on line and fell in love with it.  I've actually

had it for about a year :)  My favorite color combination

of late has been lavender/purple and greens...so this fabric

works really well.  And since embroidery is becoming

a favorite past-time of mine, I am embroidering flowers in

what will be the centers of the siggy block.  Then I will

sign & date them, and get them sewn together and

mailed out :)

Well, I believe that catches me up on my blogging.  Hope you enjoyed you time here:)

Hugs & Blessings to everyone.

Terry

p.s.  Don't forget, on most of my pictures, if you click on them, you can get a closer look :)

International Siggy Swap :)

This week I received this cute siggy from Celine Combet from the United Kingdom.  The hand prints are to celebrate her children as well as all children, as they bring so much joy to our lives:)  Thank you very much Celine.

Another International Siggy :)

Today's mail brought me yet another ever so cute Siggy :)
This one is from Helen in Australia. Now isn't that little Koala, just about the cutest one you've seen? She also sent a card with a picture of a Koala on it and her note paper has the same Koala as the siggy:) I am so glad that the International list is picking up again:) It is so much fun to receive these wonderful little blocks and cards, notes, and letters in my mail box:) Happy Sewing to all you Siggy Makers out there. Keep up the great work!!!!

International Siggy Received :)

Isn't this just an adorable siggy??? The hat fabric and

appliqued hat are just toooo cute!!! Love the whole theme of this one :)

Diana said in her letter that she chose the hat theme because her maiden, "Hoet" means hat in Dutch. She and her husband live in Canada now but she is actually of Dutch descent. I just love receiving the letters with the siggys, you get to learn so much about others all around the world:)

I have to get busy making some more siggys of my own to mail out. I am completely out of the little sweeties!!! I think it is time to change the theme

of mine....I will have to think on this for awhile, I want to come up with something special:) Current received siggy count is 42 :)
