    We like that! I had to order a few more bubble mailers, myself. If they don't come pretty soon I may check to see if the big post office downtown has any.

    There were some holes poked in your package, pennycandy, but everything seems to be intact.

    Thank you, sew_busy. Now I just need quiltingdragon and fiestypixie to confirm when/if they have mailed.

    At this point, please use priority mail. First class to my part of the country can take over a week.

    I mailed this week, looks like they showed up yesterday. I don't mind a few duplicates, it's just disappointing when everything in the package is a pair. On the other hand, sometimes there are fabrics I like so much that I'm sad I only have one! So I don't have a strong opinion either way on waiting for more or proceeding as scheduled.

    I am so sorry guys. I have been working out of town this week for training and have been offline. I realize now that I am late for shipping, but can take them to the post office on Monday. If it's too late - I understand. I ended up with 12 sets and 10 twists. I can always wait and send early for the next swap. My sincere apologies. I have had these cut for a long time. I hate to flake like this and be the last one to mail mine.

    I don't have a problem waiting if no one else does

    Yes, we need you in THIS swap, Fiesty. Just mail as quick as you can! I am waiting on someone else's who mailed first class, so I will probably be waiting a few extra days anyway.

    Today I got an letter envelope from another swap that was mailed from TN, the very next state over from me. It took 17 DAYS to get here! Mailed on the first, arrived on the 18th! What the heck is up with the postal service that they can't do better than this? The pony express was faster. I so wish we had an alternative for letter mail in this country. USPS is horrible. You never know how long your mail is going to be delayed. I hope the first class package I'm waiting on for this swap comes QUICKLY.

    Thank you so much for going to all this trouble and for all of your time! I don't mind waiting and look forward to seeing what arrives!

    OK! I have heard from both Quiltingdragon and Fiestypixie, the last two unaccounted for. Both will be mailing theirs Priority mail on Monday morning. Fruitmama and sew_busy are mailed and in transit. So all are making their way to me and will be swapped as soon as the last one arrives. Yay! New I Spy squares on the horizon!

    RE: Feistypixy fears she is mailing too late. I'm willing to wait and delay the swap by a day or two, and would not want Feistypixy to be left out. Hurray for Priority mail, and hurrah for swappers being flexible.
