Well, I am beginning to feel like I'm cursed. This makes 2 months out of three that my blockswap partner has left the board and I got no return block for the one I sent. However, they did not return the ones they got and they did not come back in the mail. This months' swap looks very promising, so, I am not giving up yet.

I know I have stepped down for now, but out of curiosity, if there isn't an activity sheet how do you as hostess and the swappers keep track of new partners, current partners etc?????

Hey short and sweet, I remember swapping with you. Maidinmaine is working hard on keeping track now that the board has switched over a bit. Good to see you are still in touch. Fun new avatar you have.

Toriabelle, I am going to make you a block for this month. Do you want another santa? It isn't right that you put your work out and don't get anything back. Let me know if you want a santa or a block of your theme.
We all gotta stick together.

don't give up, I got one of mine 3 months late, they had a lot of issues both family and work and it just got away from them, but I didnt know any of this till I got the block, so they could still show up

Members having trouble sending PM's and receiving PM's, this happened to me, and this is what I had to do. I went to my INBOX and clicked on I think it said EMPTY, then I could receive & send PM's once again. I agree this isn't easy and some have more troubles than others, ME being one of the ones having more troubles than others.
I do have to admit though, my very first partner last May has been leading me around my the hand and I am finding thing are getting a tiny bit easier. I still don't know how to post pics. I still get lost and go in circles most days. I'm not as frustrated as I was when this board turned everything upside down & shook us up and spit us out like a bad taste in their mouth and seemed like they then left us picking up all the pieces and trying to find out where we were or where do we go from here! My friend has helped me so much and wouldn't let me go very far out of her site and that was sweet. I realize now that if we just think this is our very first time on this board, WELL!! IT IS REALLY!! and we just have to go SLOW!! like we did before. It is much better than the old version we had and I do believe that now. So many more new things we can do, NO!! you don't have to like it and you could leave, but WAIT!! Give it a chance. Aren't we all in this together? Don't we all have to help each other? One day at a time, okay?? I have checked out other places, but you aren't there with me and I would miss all my quilt friends & past partners and that's important to me as it is to all of you.
Today I received an October pot holder & it's very, very nice, I don't know why??? I'm not signed up for swaps at the moment except for one (whole quilt swap with Jilliane)I don't want to keep the pot holder belonging to someone else and will sent it back, It must be some mix up somewhere. Rettey knows I'm not signed up with her. So don't know how to contact her at this point either. Without the signup sheets where we use to find partners isn't anymore. I just hope the member sending the pot holder won't take it the wrong way, she did a fabulous job.
So you see there are still bad moments of not being able to find the correct things to solve our problems.
I really don't want you going elsewhere please give it a few more months. At least until after the first of the year.
