I have finished Donna Hannah's block and will mail in the morning. I got 9 squishies in the mail today!

Sorry Anita, I finnished your block yesterday, ( 1st one I opened) it's not red/white/black, but I do hope you'll like it.

Oatw13--your finished block is going out tomorrow!! I LOVE IT!!!! Hope you do too!

Here is a test block I made using my own fabric before I cut into someone else's. Someone will be getting a version of this block. (I changed it, gotta love a test block. You can work out the kinks!) I'm just showing off my fabric...

I got 13 squishies in the mail yesterday. I hope nobody expects any from me for a bit. My plate is excessively full at the moment and the other deadlines loom much larger.

Don't even worry about it Mad!! We will all be PLENTY busy!

This is my first swap so i am setting on ready. please tell me the list of addresses is not lost in cyber-space. i am checking e-mail and spam everyday fearful that i have been dropped. i have all my fabric in envelopes ready for address labels. please know i am not trying to rush you just have the newbe jitters.

The list went out in the beginning of January :-( Please PM me your email address again to make sure I had the right one and I will resend it to you :-)

I only got 4 today
:cry:

Barbsbus, wine woman, buddy's mom, lovingizabella

They are all very pretty, and I'm looking forward to sewing tonight.

I put all my F8s in the mail today. Please let me know when you get them. That way I will know if they all got to the right place. This is so much fun already and the blocks haven't even started to get here yet! :thumbup:

Hello April & Izabella,

You were asking about suggested changes to the form you sent. I personally love it, but a column for "notes" might be helpful. Perhaps make the date sent/date received, etc. colums narrower (only need to put 3 or 4 numbers in there anyway), and leave a nice box for any kinds of notes we may need from what we see on the Board ("prefers B&W and only red"; "send back scraps"; "use both fabrics", etc.) so we don't have to go back and forth through a hundred gazillion pages to find the notations we want. That would be my only suggestion.

I have to say also, you did a fine job in organizing the list. It must have been difficult to decide if you were going to alphabatize based on screen name, first name or last name. I had to acclimate my eye to that, but now I think I have it.

Thanks again for hosting this swap; so far it's been a hoot! I hope Izzy is loving her fabrics!

I know how you feel. I only got 3 today (and after 7 yesterday, makes me feel as if I'm just not that important any more!) :cry: .

Now the REAL fun begins: trying to make decisions about what I'm going to do with all these awesome fabrics! (and then to be able to get them done on time!).

Mona, I had enough fabr ic to make you two blocks! I will try to get them in the mail today!!

Awesome thats half, now the FUN starts! I am off to my sewing room. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

To all of those who have thanked me for this swap-I must say THANK YOU! I am so very happy that I was allowed to do this swap and that you all have joined me in it. I am already having so much fun and shhhhh but planning for the next one too. Right now I am in the process of updating everyone who has special requests in a notes part of the forum and when I am done I will post the link in the first page where the list of swappers is.
Thank you all again for joining me-I am so happy you have!
Hugs
April

April for the next one could we do something other than 12" blocks??

lol, I've got 34 more to do and I'm worried about the next one.

Thanks, it will be a surprise!!! I will mail it tomorrow, didn't get to PO today, had Dr's appointment, and when I got up this morning still no water and on top of that no heat. Now there both fixed.

April, of course we get first choice for signups on the next round, right? *wink wink*

6 inch or 9 inch blocks could be fun!

Can't wait for them to get to Canada

I too only got 2 today...yesterday was WONDERFUL!! But I'm glad that they are continuing to roll in!
I think sarasewing is the other one who wants her fabric back. I will check my spreadsheet in a little bit and if it's not her I will let you know.
LOVING this swap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys - stoooooop. ROFL, I have to do 12 Chocoberries, 12 ponds, January batics, wanna-do-the-funky-chicken AND 35 Boomerangs. Not to mention the UFO list that won't end. Rolls over in corner and sucks thumb.

lol...I SOOOOO want to do the funky chicken too!! I am appehensive though and don;t want to over commit...I should be able to decide in a couple more weeks if it is reasonable to join in it or not. I love to put my all into each block and don't want to get in a hurry :)

here Mad, you can have a corner of my bankie, ( laying down by Mad)

You don't even want to see my list, but it's just so much fun how do you say no?

You guys are too much! We need to have this to keep us sane...even all the insanity of the swaps keeps us quilters grounded-it's what makes our world fun :-)

PS Anymore room for me in the corner? lol
Hugs
April

At least we'll have lots of friends in the crazy house when we all get there. lol

Anita, you're in luck. When I saw your fabric it said "put me with red", so I did. That was before I saw your note.

Little Izzy -- whoa, that fabric!!! You really gave me and my stash a good challenge. I am returning one ugly block and one not-as-ugly. I kept thinking about what my 4-yr-old granddaughter would like. She probably would have picked up the same fat eighth to send me. (By the way, just what do you call that "green" in the print???) You definitely see things in living colors -- you go, girl.

The rest of the blocks -- I'm still chugging along. Isn't it amazing how much more attention to pay to detail when it is going to someone else I even used a PIN!
