OH BOY!! I sat down to quickly clean out my email before I fly to my daughters in the morning and stumbled upon our January birthday addresses. They will go out on my way to the airport. SORRY!!!!!!!!! Good thing I have them prepared, I just had to address the envelopes and sign the cards. Still... I don't know why I don't get mail notifications for the quiltingboard anymore. Because I live in crazy town and barely breath, let alone anything else? I'll try to be better. <3 love this swap.

Let me think on next years swap. <3

I starting to gather my fabric for next year. 2019-2020.

I mailed out both bd candy squishes out today. Should get there on time.

Happy New Year Everyone. I hope everyone one will have a safe and peaceful and an abundance of time to sew/quilt all of our projects this year. Now back to my house cleaning.

SheriR, You are not the first who has said they stopped getting QB notifications! I've had some technical posting problems lately.

FYI...this message is for "aborning"
You sent me a private message that was meant for barbarakibler23; please resend you message to her.

Thanks,

I would like to join this group. I have talked to Armylady2012 for a recommendation. I will pm you my info.

Ms. Barb, I would love to join again. Please add me to the list.

Guess I had better start slicing and dicing again. Barb I would like to join up again in next years swap. Do we need to PM you again?

I'm in again too! I just finished all the cutting and the little stacks are ready to go. Sent you a PM with my info Barbara

Barb I will not be able to do this year. Having some back problems can't stand and cut and may have to have surgery. See you all next year.

Oh, Juanita, I am so sorry. There is little as crummy as back problems. One just can't exist without using ones back! I trust you will get the treatment that will bring comfort, healing and relaxation to your sore back, bones and muscles too. Praying for you! Will miss you as part of our swap, but you and your back are more important than any little squares of fabric.

Sorry Juanita that you will not be joining us next year...but make sure you come and visit with us and let us know how you are feeling.

Hello ladies...I am going away for the weekend with some of my favorite people (wish you were all coming) and going quilting!!!!

So I will be away from my computer Friday and Saturday. I will check back in on Sunday.

Have a great weekend.

Barb

PS Monday we have a birthday girl!!!!!

Lots of Birthday greetings coming in to you two girls! Fun, isn't it? Those at the end of the swap have a long wait-- only three of you left next month. :-) You are the patient ones.

I haven't been doing a lot of sewing the last weeks. I've had a cold and sort of felt like doing nothing. I hope to get back to sewing my blocks. I have a little seam ripping to do on a few of them, as a candy in the corner was damaged accidentally.

Barb I am in again for next year cutting fabric now

How many squares do you send to each person on their birthday?

I just reread the first page, it looks like 50 to each person right?

Yes, 50 to each. As the new swap begins, we often share tips for sending the little squares economically and in a way that will not end up with extra postage. Keep watching when the new swap starts but in the mean time, you can always cut, cut, cut. Barbara will send you all the info you need.

Hi Mona....

It is best to read all the info in post #1 of this thread. It will give all the info which will not change very much for the new year that is coming up. We have not opened the sign up for "Newbies" yet but if you are interested you will need to send me a PM with your info and also you will need to get someone to send you a recommendation in to me.

Hello ladies I am back from my weekend away quilting. I am exhausted and happy to get some time to quilt. I put together the quilt that I am making my daughter for Christmas (yep last one) and now I am going to put buttons on it to "tie" instead of quilting it. My daughter likes them puffy so I hope she will like this one.


I also had time to go thru envelopes that I have received from the swap this year. I was disappointed to see that people are resending the pieces that they don't like to other swappers for their birthday. I would see the same fabrics in two or three(or more) different envelopes. PLEASE do not resend ANY squares to another birthday swapper. if you do not like them please give them away, toss them out but do not send them out. I received a few of my own back! Only send squares that you cut out yourself.

Also...... I had quite a few piece that should have been fussy cut. Instead I received a really cute dog without a head. If you are going to use a piece that needs to be carefully cut out please do so. I tossed many out this time around that would have been really cute but they were headless :(.

So for all of you who have started cutting please go look before you package your squares that you have good quality squares.

Barb

Happy Birthday Aborning, hope you had a great day.

Aborning, Best wishes for a great birthday and great year!

Aborning and Pinkflowers, I'm sorry, it's mine you're waiting for. I've had a very distracting and time consuming family emergency. Last month's failure was the mail sservice taking 3 weeks. This month it's all on me. I'll get yours out pronto!
