Oh, Barb, I just noticed this am, as I was cleaning my table, your envelope is still sitting there. ( stuck under some fabric- go figure). I must of dropped it by mistake when I gave to DH to mail. I know the others got theirs. Will be in mail today. Getting Nov's ready for next weeks shipment.

Yeah...I believe I am waiting on....4 packages! I did send a letter through snail mail to "pjjandme" letting her know of her commitment that she has not fulfilled . I will let you all know if I get any response back. This did not happen in last years swap. I hope that she is okay. Can't imagine anyone would just not send packages out on purpose. ????

Some additional thank yous... Nurse Bonnie and Quilter Day By Day, your little packages arrived and now I have even more little treats to put to use this winter.
Just as an aside: At my quilt guild meeting this week, we were discussing our plans to finish a friendship quilt for member who has moved out of state to be with her grand children. Well, on the list of needed donations to finish the quilt was 60+ 2.5 squares. I raised my hand and the whole group did a "DUHHHH" because the KNOW how may of these I have. A shoe box full that are NOT birthday treats. Well, I will be donating but NOT from my birthday treats that you all have sent to me! Those are special and for other projects. These gals have all been ever so encouraging and patient as I used up last years treats and then I told them this year I have even more to use!!!! Just loved seeing their faces! There are considering my sanity.

You have your hands full with November birthdays. I forgot to add my younger son is a November birthday. Glad he will not be reading this and know I inadvertently left him off the list.

(Just for a giggle , when my daughter told me that the man she wanted to marry had a November birthday, I told it that was confirmation that he must be the "one"! His birthday was November and no one had claimed that day yet! He is a peach and they gave me a November 1 grandson.)

Does anyone in this group repurpose shirts to quilt with? The last couple of estate sales I went to, I grabbed all the remaining shirts for the bag sale to give away on this board. I took them straight to the laundromat and washed in hot water and put them in my trunk were they remain. Now with the holidays coming up I will need my trunk space so the shirts need to go.
I am offering to this group first. If no one is interested then I will offer to the quiltboard community as I know many repurpose shirts for quilting. I can fill a medium flat rate box for postage of $12.65. Let me know.
