I have not missed one of these 5 inch charm swaps since Red started them. I have been so pleased with all I have received. Excellent host, excellent swap.

Red, I will let you know tomorrow if I can do this swap. My little dog Sadie hurt her back and things aren't going to good with other things. I am happy to hear that your mom is doing better and resting.

OK Red, looks like I will do the swap with you all. DH took are of our Sadie and I cut half what I needed for the swap. I will be sending you a PM in a few. These should be in the mail by Friday. Sadie has have surgery the 22nd and I certainly want to be available for her.

Quilt lady: I am so glad you didn't listen to others who may have had bad experiences in their swaps. I was nervous when I joined my first few because I wasn't sure if I was going to come out on the short end or not, but had wonderful experiences ever since. There may have been one or two things here or there that I didn't feel were quite 100%, but overall, my own experience is nothing but positive. Maybe with joining our swaps, your friends will see there ARE good people out there and maybe they will want to join in on a different one in the future

Thank you to those who think I'm doing an okay job. I try to keep things as positive as I can when things go a little haywire, so the fact everyone is so accommodating, certainly helps me. Thank you!

sunrise, sorry to hear about your Sadie. I have two furries myself, and know first hand how they are truly "family". Hoping the surgery goes okay for everyone


DJ, glad to have you back, girl!

I think we are up to 11 swappers right now?

I have to say I am impressed. Batiks have never been my favorite and I had to go to the store to purchase the material. I am in love. I made me four extra of each fabric. They are really pretty.

Mailed to Red today with return bubble, regular stamps, & return label. Ready to rock the ones y'all send!!!
I learned this interesting thing today:
Synthrapol is a special detergent used in pre-scouring fibers before dyeing, and in washing out fiber reactive dyes after dyeing. It is also sometimes used as a surfactant or wetting agent to improve dye penetration.
DH picked up some cotton boles last summer that I want to do something with but must do more research.

I used to tie dye professionally so have a lot of experience with synthrapol. A little goes a long way and the generics aren’t near as effective as the brand name.
