Marybeth, A year ago I had ZERO Batiks. (GASP) Today I have 20.....my daughter and I joined QB and started swaping in luvTooQuilt's 10.5" swap and I think I picked Batiks for every set I did. I just fell in love with them. Now I love them even more and have a really hard time cutting some pieces they're just so pretty!

I am excited to see you officially join up. lol We have lots of time still. :D

I'm really excited about this swap! I've received so many gorgeous 1.5" stamps that it made me want to work with bigger pieces. I've got a few 2.5" already cut. I think I'll take it slow & easy so I don't burn out.

Thanks for hosting this swap SheriR. :thumbup:

I was cutting batiks last night with my GO.. And wouldnt you know it the dang die is defective.. Grrrrrr....
THEN, as a pain as it was I cut out 16 batik sets instead of the MAX 5 !!!! Ugh.. I should of went to bed...

Tomorrow Ill try and get the new die....

Happy Quilting..

carrot 09-03-2012 04:00 PM

luvTooQuilt..........maybe - hopefully - there will be another batik swap and you will be all set !!!!!!!!

SheriR 09-03-2012 06:18 PM

I wanted to do a just batik swap but worried not so many could do that type of swap. Sooooo we get our "Batil Twist". Luv, you can always send batiks as your main AND your twist :D

Jannie 09-04-2012 10:44 AM

I just got back from the post office and they are on their way. The gal said you should have them by Thursday. Now I just need to be patient until the time to find them in my mail box.

I was going to take my time cutting and send them in the last week. Guess I'd better put a fire under it! :thumbup:

carrot 09-05-2012 02:54 PM

My cotton candy and peppermint twists went into the mail this morning !!!! Hope they arrive safetly. Sheri I will pm you the tracking #. Good luck everyone on your cutting. I did too many at once and now have a twing under my right shoulder blade. I think I will go out on the kayak and try and to stretch it out (=
Now the wait begins .........................:p
