Thank you djmat! I received quite a few nice squares for 50!
Barb, is this how we do it? Thank each person as they come in? or should I wait awhile and thank people by the bunch, thereby not taking up as much room on the thread?

I stand corrected we have 35 quilters!!!!(no one added I just counted wrong) Yeah a full house.
Hello Ladies
Happy March!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well spring is gonna be here in 2 weeks. According to the groundhog he said we would have 6 more weeks of winter. well that was 4 weeks ago (feb 2) so I figure we are almost done with all this white stuff! And I'm keeping that varmint to his word!!!
Besides my lawn care company sent me a postcard last week telling me that they would be out to fertilize my lawn. so either I will have more snow or green snow......I will keep you updated!
Well I have officially closed the sign up for our swap. We are at 34 quilters! Yeah looks like a great group! I hope we all have fun!

Awesome ...thanks for doing this again this year. You also saved me scanning through last years messages to see who did it ...really helped me. This year I will be keeping one of these for each birthday girl. I will be able to mark off when she receives her packages...this will help for the contest!!!!
I suggest everyone to print this off and mark when you mail their package ...then your birthday month mark when you receive your package.
Yeah Mamaskeeto!

WOW can't believe we are starting a new year of candies. I loved all my candies from last year and will get busy cutting everything for this year. I did a PDF of the the swappers like I did last year. It really helped me stay on track on when I mailed. It was great when it was my turn to receive candies I could mark down who I had received from so I could thank everyone properly. I have attached the list to share with everyone. Happy Swapping!!!

Extra goodies are always appreciated but not necessary!
Up to the individual person. [
=sewbizgirl;6605903]I don't think anyone will be upset if you do this... HA! But think about doing it, times 33, plus the extra $ for shipping, times 33... If you are able and want to I say 'go for it', but I am not able to. You are sweet. I'd love to send a big box full of chocolate and goodies to each one of us... in my virtual world!
Got my March cards addressed and ready to go out, a week before the birthdays. Thanks, Barbara.[/QUOTE]

Yes Mrshalibut....
I like postings everyday if possible. Makes it easier for me plus the person who sent it doesn't have to wonder if her package has made it safely.

I have a question... when mailing the candies in a birthday card, do you just put a regular stamp on it or two stamps? I weighed my cards and they would actually take $.70 for first class shipping. Have the rest of you just been using the one regular stamp-- $.49? No problems?

We have 2 grown children who reside on the East Coast along with 2 grandchildren.
I wanted to start quilting because I always admired quilts from a distance; and thought I would give it a try – since I have a little more time now (i.e. especially in the summer when it is 100 degrees plus in Arizona). I am currently employed with the State of Arizona as a Program Manager.
I am currently working on a quilt entitled Three in one; after I complete this quilt I plan to begin trying my hand at making some of the different blocks. I have only been quilting since August 2013; I have been spending alot of time reading quilt books from the library and online blogs.
I am most proud of making myself step out of the box and try quilting; I have not sewed in 10+ years but it is all coming back to me. I plan on continuing to research and hopefully get more and more skilled at quilting. I did attend the Quilt show here in Phoenix, AZ in early February; and there were some lovely quilts on display.
I look forward to getting to know everyone and enjoying the friendships that I will make through this board.
P.S. My board name is my first initial, middle initial and the last 2 digits of my birth year (I needed something easy to remember)
Have a good evening everyone,
Billie
