Hi Laters! I see you've found the thread. Yay! Thank you to everyone who has responded to my email. There are still a few more I need to hear from so if you haven't yet seen it, please check your email and reply.

So our names are rather humorous. I'm glad you are having a bit of fun with them. I'd actually hoped you'd find the goofiness of them enjoyable.

JayneW, I missed the blood moon, too darn tired last night, but the pix are astounding. How beautiful! Oh, well, after seeing enough pix, in a while I'll think I saw it in person anyway.

So, I see you are packaging up your F8s, getting them ready to go. Reminder about size - 10x18 but 11x18 is appreciated if you've got it. Labels with your board name on every small baggie are required along with your fabric requests if you have any (remember they are requests not requirements!) should be inside or on a label on the outside. If you don't have any requests, please let us know that, too. When those are done, please put everything inside a larger, gallon-sized ziplock that has your board name, group name, as well as your address in the event that a package comes undone during shipping. It may increase chances of getting back to you. It's not happened yet but that doesn't mean it cannot. (Now there's a lesson I keep having to learn.) Remember email me with your tracking number as soon as you get it. Do not post it on the threads. And while we're at it, be cautious if you take pix. Some people have posted pix of their prepped packages and both my address and theirs have been clearly visible in the photo. Be cautious!

Anyone with any questions, let me know! I'll be around all day, on and off. I've got to decide on my fabric and prep it, see about my sewing machine and it's new terrible noise, donate blood, and finally get my car in for service. It seems I have a huge coolant leak. One of this weekends fun surprises! I wonder if the shop will be open today? Guess I'll soon know. Later, Laters! (Oh, that's never going to get old.)

I need to put labels on all my fabrics and they will be ready to mail.

Good morning everyone! Getting my package ready today so I can mail to Janice tomorrow. Here is a pic of the fabric for the later group, the paisley. 2nd pic is of the coordinating fabrics that I have to go with it. I will use the green for the sashing. I would like you to use the off white as in the background and /or a dark chocolate brown. Please use only solids or tone on tones and no other prints. I would like this print to be the start of the quilt. [ATTACH=CONFIG]607166[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]607168[/ATTACH]

Beautiful fabrics Jaba!

Janice, I wrote my name on all my bags with sharpie, is that acceptable or do you specifically want labels?

The clouds took over the sky last night so we didn't get to see the eclipse. Great night though for the bonfire! This morning, the moon was still there - bigger than ever! (Currently in the desert - about 7 miles from downtown Quartzsite AZ)
Jaba - you always have such beautiful interesting fabric - love the colors.

"Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya
Sooner or later, girl you got to give in
Sooner or later, love is gonna let 'cha
Sooner or later, love is gonna win
Its just a matter of time"

(And I will say that love is the love of quilting!!"

Well, PamelaOry, you judge. The names need to be easily readable by the end of the swap. Sometimes marker rubs off with repeated handling and sometimes if there isn't a light fabric behind it, it becomes very difficult to read. See what you think. Be kind to my aging eyes and my sanity.

TG, you win the internets today!!!! Love it!!!!

Oh TG, I remember that song like it was just out yesterday!

Jaba I made a quilt out of that fabric. Loved it then and love it still.
