Each set can be different, but must each set be different? In other words, could I take 50 different fabrics, cut 10 squares from each fabric, sort them into piles so each pile had 50 different fabrics, and send you 10 identical sets?

Sheri if you ever decide to do a batik swap I'm in !!!

Ladynredd, some ladies are cutting up scraps so they may have sets that are different. I'm cutting my sets from strips so all of my sets will be the same but with 50 different 2.5" squares. Does this help?

SheriR 09-06-2012 08:08 PM

@ Fraew... LOL I knew you'd take the Batik swap bait!! It would be a yummy fun swap!

@sew4nin... Yipee!!! Welcome to the CandyDish!!!!

We're up to 23 Candy swappers and loads of time left to lure more into our candy trade. This is so exciting. I've received two packages so far (Fraew and Lisa_wanna_b_quilter) I know more are on the way. Keep 'em coming ladies you are amazing!

marytoddliz 09-07-2012 01:49 AM

I am in for a Batik swap, I thought about adding them into the cottons, but was not sure that was a good idea! Next time I will know I can!

You should be getting mine any day now.

carrot 09-07-2012 08:14 AM

My package has arrived in Rhome TX !!!!!! Should be delivered to Sheri tomorrow !!!

Linda58 09-07-2012 10:27 AM

SheriR 09-07-2012 01:54 PM

Happy Day! So much candy in the mail! I bet my mail lady is glad my box is super-size. Today it needed to be!

I have received from:
Fraew – 9/1
Lisa_wanna_b_quilter – 9/4
Marytoddliz – 9/7
Carrot – 9/7
Jannie – 9/7

Girls…the candy is soooo sweet!!! I think I made my deadline to far away…. And I know I AM GOING TO NEED A BIGGER STORAGE BIN… My storage bag is already full and five swappers filled it. I am such a noobie hostess. LOL

Love you ALL!

I'm keeping track of the Batik Candy Wanna Be Swappers! If I can show Patrice there is a want I bet she'll approve it.

marytoddliz 09-07-2012 04:05 PM

Yeah, so glad it arrived safely... It is happy that there is a lot of Candy keeping it company!

Can't wait to get it back!

MathTeacher1980 09-07-2012 04:19 PM

I got 31 fabrics cut, 19 to go... glad to have the extra time though with this being the first week of school, not to mention the fact that obsessive cutting gave me a back knot lol. Will probably have them all done and sent out within two or three weeks. Sorry to those who are hoping for a super early finish ;)

carrot 09-07-2012 04:52 PM

Sheri you are the noobie hostess with the mostest !!! You are doing a great job !!! No pressure on anyone, we can wait for our candy to come back to us (=

goldendog55 09-09-2012 05:06 PM

I would like to also. If you two want to do individual swaps with me, I'd like that. Right now, I am making scrap quilts with both 2 and 2.5" (separate quilts), and I'd love some more variety. And if anyone else would like to, that would be good. We could get a group together, but I'd sure like to swap with someone right now, so I can keep working on it. I like as much variety as possible, and I think I've already got one of each square that are in my pre-cut scrap drawers.

SheriR 09-09-2012 06:24 PM

When I first signed up for Mariposa's 1.5" postage stamp swap I had no idea what I was in for. All these different sizes are so fun to work with! Let me know if I can help you 2 inchers in any way. :D

sew4nin 09-12-2012 04:49 AM

So is someone doing an "official" 2" swap? I would be sooo interested!

Shana 09-12-2012 04:57 AM

I'm in for 20 cotton & 5 batik :)

Message in your box Sheri

I can't wait! this is the first set swap I've done. I took part in a block exchange a few years ago with a specific theme, and had to make a scrapbook page to go with it lol was a LOT of work lol this is going to be fun!!

dottie dodge 09-12-2012 10:31 AM

I would swap 2" squares with you.

dottie dodge 09-12-2012 10:34 AM

barbarakibler23 09-13-2012 08:29 PM

Glad you received my package Sheri...I think I need to send you more postage....what do you think? Can I mail you stamps?

quilterjody 09-14-2012 09:14 AM

I've never done a swap here, so I'm going to jump in with this one. I have 8 regulars and 2 twists. I'm hoping to mail them out this weekend. It was so much fun to turn my scraps into squares with my go-cutter.

Barbara, It looks like you sent the perfect amount. What I don't understand is why it cost you $8.80 to mail TO me.... Crazy postage....My hubby just mailed a package for me to Mariposa (stuffed with 1.5" squares AND funky chickens)It only cost $6.05. Which is exactly what you sent. :D
