I just received my prepaid envelopes yesterday so I am in the process of getting everything together to be mailed on Monday. That should be plenty of time for Janice to receive it before the 17th.
Here is a picture of the fabrics I am sending. It's an assortment of patriotic pieces. Everyone can use either red, white and/or blue in their block. Just have fun with it.

Fun fabrics, Klaws!
When I mailed my package to Janice, I asked the post office for an $8.55 stamp, to include for return postage. They looked at me strange and said they didn't have a stamp in that denomination. Weird, as I know they exist. So I had to send a mixture of stamps that equal $8.55.

Klaws -- those are great patriotic fabrics!
Sewbizgirl -- they don't bother to order them as the prices keep changing in these days of restructuring the post office.
Janice -- my fabrics were sent to you this morning and your email has the tracking number. Let's hope the post office gets them delivered properly this time.

Signature block
Hi all. I think I want to collect signature blocks from those of you who don't mind writing your name on a piece of cloth so it can be included in my President's Quilt. I have added a small piece of white fabric to everyone's fat eighth packet. If you don't want to, you don't have to sign it. You can write your name or board name or both if you do want to let me document you on my quilt. I think I will be creating some red white and blue rail fence or log cabin blocks as part of the quilt. I will use the signed white strip in those blocks. Whatcha think?

Kristijoy, a rail block with the focus fabric would be great! I just won't put it near where I put the signature blocks. It will help tie the quilt together, too. I am glad you and Sewbizgirl think it won't be an awful idea to ask folks for their autograph or some kind of personalization to include in the quilt besides the beautiful blocks that are created..
I thought about this as I was recycling my bags from previous booms. I want to easily remember everyone and having your name on my quilt is a wonderful way to remind me of my quilting friends from the BOOMs. I follow a Civil War blog and they talk about signature blocks on older quilts alot. Maybe one of my BOOM quilts will survive into the future for folks to track you all down! I have no other obvious "friendship" quilts without signature blocks. This will be my first.
