I'm so excited! I received 2 blocks in the mail today! Ladies if you would be sure to put your Group name AND your board name it will be easier to post whose F8s and blocks you receive! LOL Those of us in two groups might get just a little confused. LOL....now I'll go figure out the board names! Doing the Happy Dance....plus I have 22 ready to go out!

I don't know what they are charging...but a local sign company gave me a great deal on 4 x 8 sheets of the coroplast and even cut them at no charge! Woooohoooo.....makes the sewing room look so much nicer and not very expensive either!

I got my first F8 today; it's from goldendog55. Very pretty fabric, but amazed it got here in one piece or even got here at all. And we don't live that far away from each other. I'm going to try to put pictures on here to show you what the PO did to it.

my poor envelope from goldendog55

I finally have mine washed and ironed. The hardest part was to pick the fabric so far. I also have the envelopes ready to pack and send on their way! This is going to be so much fun. I'm new to quilting, just hope I do your fabric justice...

I know, I got a few last swap that looked pretty much like that! :( What we have to remember is that our envies are going thro machines that only allow so much vertical space - so if they aren't 'squished' down real good, they're likely totear. (another good reason to wrap them in plastic first!)

Good idea! Unfortunately, mine are either gone or already sealed. In fact, while I did remember to put my name and board name inside each envelope, the note I intended to include is still sitting on the table. Oh well, it basically said I was happy to be in this swap and feel free to be creative with the fabric I've sent you.

Mine went out in the mail this morning. I was hoping there would be some in my mailbox, but I guess I'll have to wait till Monday now.
