Thread: Summer 2012 Postage Stamp Squares Swap-Sign up closes 9/15/2012

here is the link for the yahoo postage stamp group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/postagestampquilts/ .

also i keep my leftover cut swapping squares in a large plastic zipper bag (think bed sheet packaging) so i can see what i have cut and sent before. there are always new swaps, new groups, new participates joining so i do not worry quite so much with dups. plus as quilters we know how to make things work for us and can certainly make a new project with any dups or start another psq for that matter.

perhaps she signed up for 100 swap baggies to reek her chaos on other quilters.

I cut out scraps as I make things during the weeks, and I have a bin of 1 1/2"strips that I can cut into when I need to. I keep a large bin of my squares, and I have a smaller bin, where I put all of my squares to swap with others. For this last swap, I was amazed that I already had enough cut out from just my projects, and I didn't have to cut any out at the time of the swap.. I just counted and bagged them. And that was for 30 sets! I think I've turned into a factory!

According to Mary, our hostess in "that" swap, "that person" had 14 swap partners. Aren't we the lucky ones?

Hi, Honchey. I always keep a baggie of each swap for myself. This allows me to keep track of what I have sent out and gives ME more stamps. The ones I haven't yet used remain in my sorting ice cube trays.

Sign ups are coming soon......just need to let this one finish first. Holiday prints are fine too~

i try to remember to keep a baggie for myself but i dont always. i was trying out the ice cube trays as a sorter until one of my furbabies decided that it would be fun to turn them over. no more ice cube tray sorters.
