Such CUTE FABRICS!!! I particularly love the one with hearts.

Those are gorgeous!

Hello ladies

I am wondering if this swap is still open???? I saw the sign up date for January 8th but I see names have gone out. Please let me know if I can still sign up.

Thanks
Barb :)

Barb, I just sent you a PM

OK peginCo, let's get 'er done. >) Also, my dear lady, I fell asleep when the baby took her nap and it was after the PO closed that we both woke up, so yours will be in the mail tomorrow. I'll go BEFORE we take our nap. I'm feeling better and the weather is better too, so I went to the Family Dollar. I have to wear a mask when we go out and Baby Willa wanted one too. So, luckily I had one she wore. Got lots of stares, but who gives a rat's _____, I gotta protect myself and her.

And Sheri, are you still in for a swap? I would do any of what you sh0wed, except for the Valentine fq. Just let me know. I would love any color with the gray.

And Kandy, I'll catch up with you soon. tee hee.

Love you all. Miss Ellie

Hi Rosemary Attaway, I havn't heard from you yet. I am ready to mail your Fat Quarters as soon as I know your address.
Don't you just love Valentines time of year.

I can get more if you'd like. :D

Pinks and greys for you it is. Now is that with licorice? Black licorice is myyyyyyy FAVORITE!! My father inlaw use to get me some from a small grocery store. He always made sure there was black licorice for me. I miss him.

Sewellie+PeginCo+SheriR= licorice heaven!!!
Lol

Well, Ms. Vita, when one sends an angel pkg, one may receive an angel pkg... You just never know...
Kif

Vitality your little package should get to you by Thursday! Enjoy!
BarbaraKibbler working on your extra should mail out tomorrow!

letsquilt, yours should also be to you on Thursday according to my receipt from the post office. But we'll see what actually happens as we are supposed to get a foot of snow in my area tonight and another 8 inches tomorrow… so I would not be surprised if it's a day or two more. :)

I understand! We are flying into Chicago Thursday to go on to Denver Colorado hopefully we won't get stuck anywhere

Oh, Sheri, you have made me a happy girl! What would you like in exchange and I'll get it ready. Baby Willa wants to "hep." :) That ought to be fun. She's quite the picker of fabric.
I'm in, just let me know. I have one something special for you, but you'll just have to wait and see what it is. Hint - it's red. hahaha
Love you, girl.

PeginC0, mailed your pkg this a.m. Delivery date due on Friday. Hope you like them, I had fun putting it together. Will e you soon. Miss Ellie

Whatcha doing in Denver, letsquilt?! Will you be in the southern part of town at all?

Thank you, Miss Ellie! I can't wait! I also mailed yours this afternoon. Sheri.....sorry! I didn't know you also liked black licorice....however, if I remember correctly, you also like what I sent. ;)

All this talk of black licorice is giving me nightmares...well it would if I could sleep...lol

BarbaraKibler,just sent off your package,Tracking # 9505511109425007383330 due to be delivered by Friday.

PenginCo, my hubby has business there for half the day Friday then the rest of the time we are just taking a long weekend to enjoy! I've never been there,but we have some realities there too.Im so excited,he always has to travel so now that I'm retired I get to go alittle. Pm me your number and I'll try to call you and your address.
Of course you must know of some quilt shops?

Yes! I will pm you!

Yes we are going to be in Parker!!! I'll call you!

Well, Kiffie, if my love of licorice gives you nightmares it's because you skull fabric gave me nightmares. Turn about is fair game, my love. :I)

Letsquilt...I am getting your package ready to be in Friday's mail :)

You are all so busy swapping and chatting its wonderful. Good morning Quilters! I cant wait to see your packages. To those who asked thank you so much for your concern. I am doing ok hoping it is all better in just another day or two. that would be wonderful in my book. Next week is another story but for now I am working on today :)

cant wait to see your fabrics so make sure you take pictures, ask someone who knows how if you don't and take the pictures they send you and post them here! I said before I have to post on facebook before I can copy paste them here which is annoying but it beats not being able to post! so find a way! if you cant post please ask someone who can. if you send take a photo before you send in case your partner cant. if there is a will.. there is a way ;) we just have to find it.

Nancyw just wrote to me asking if she could swap this month. I have told her we are officially closed but she is free to post here that she is open to swapping and someone might just snag her offer up! so if your interested please send her a PM and see if you can work something out. if not.. there is next months UGLY FABRIC swap :) a break from fat quarters and well .. cool subjects to swap lol. but I am positive there will be some true real gems hiding in those fabrics. cant wait I am even planning on this participating in this one. its going to be fun and different. then we can go back to normal lol fabrics. pictures required for sure on this swap lol this is going to be colorful I am sure.

NancyW,
I'm happy to swap with you if no one else is able. I don't want to horn in on everyone (well, probably secretly I do...but I won't..lol).
Just pm me if you don't end up with a gazillion takers. I do want everyone to be able to play...

Brat,
I'm thinking I read where you said next month you were doing 1 yard of ugly fabric on our swap. I saw where someone was worried about having a full yard. Have you considered doing maybe 2 half yards? Or even our "new normal" of 4 fqs instead? Just wondering... I have enough that I can easily send 4 different uglies... Again, just a suggestion...as I'm happy either way.

Ellie, oh Ellie... that particular skull fabric is very popular...just like your licorice is. I had to post it to make sure anyone liked it? And just like your nasty gross revolting disgusting licorice (I'd tell you how I REALLY feel, but I'm a lady. Teehee) several ladies loved that skull fabric. I'm thinking I may need to rename my "Sweet Ellie".... ;)

Regards,
Kif

Brat, I'm the same way...if it's that ugly I know I don't have a yard of it, probably more like a FQ

I got an awesome package from letsquilt today! 4 cute fat quarters, an adorable notepad, some super cute buttons (I love buttons!), some candy and nice hand cream which I can really use since I spend so much time outside and doing farm work my hands really take a beating, especially in winter AND a wicked awesome zipper pouch that is SO cute and has my name on it! I love love love it all but especially the awesome pouch! Thank you so much letsquilt!!!

Received some beautiful FQ's from bullock2us today. They are so perfect for a fabulous tablerunner and or wall hanging. Thank you Ginger, I love them!![ATTACH=CONFIG]505279[/ATTACH]

Mailed out the Valentine FQs today, you should receive in a couple of days!

Cuppy and Kiffie yours will be going out tomorrow. On my second round of antibiotics in the last month for my sinus infection and haven't been out much in the last couple days. By the way I got some of the skull fabric from Kiffie and it is cool when you see it. I am going to use some in my sons quilt. Black licorice uggg! Don't really eat too much licorice-it is at the top of the list of very bad things for you(like I don't eat anything bad for me LOL!)Cinnamon bears are the best any day-espically the chocolate covered ones!

I'd like to see 4 FQ uglies. I don't think I have enough ugly for a yard or half yard, but whatever is chosen will be okay with me. I'll just have to dig a little deeper if we do the yard or half yard. I'm sure I could find something ugly. tee hee.

I don't think I have a whole yard of an ugly fabric either. Maybe we could do something where it has to add up to a yard like 4 FQ or 2 half yards or 1 yard, etc.... I dunno :)

Received the most awesome fabric from peginCo today with lots of extra goodies. I could not be more pleased!! AND Licorice, yeah, licorice. I'm going to try to post the pictures and see if it works like I think it should.
Cross your fingers, Teresa. And Kandy, I won't share my licorice with you, so you won't have nightmares tonight!

Yeah, it worked. Colors aren't nearly as pretty in the picture as they are in real life, but I did the best I could. Thank you again, Peg. Aren't they beautiful?[ATTACH=CONFIG]505342[/ATTACH]

I also am not sure if I have a whole yard of an uglies fabric either. I know I have smaller pieces of what was I thinkings. Would have to dig deeper or maybe could find something.
Last year I did a swap on here that I think was like a treasure swap. You filled a medium flat rate box full to the brim with fabric and sent it to your partner and they sent one back. That was fun. Wonder if it will be done again this year. Seems like it was at the beginning of the year last year.
What one person didn't want was another person's treasure.

Very cute fabric- gotta love the Valentine's fabric-and all other fabric Lol!

I would like to swap fat Quarters with some one under the same rules Elisabrat listed. I was too late to sign up under Elisabrat. If there is nyone who would like to swap with me let me know and we can swap addresses.

Pretty fqs showing up!

Bullock2us,
No hurry or worries on my fqs, you just take care of yourself.
My dh is on his 2nd round of antibiotics, too..for bronchitis and a sinus infection. Even with his chronic health issues, he rarely gets sick. We all take the flu shot, but I know this year it's only effective about 50% of the time..


Vitality,
Have you tried that "Working Hands" cream? I've tried many different lotions, but I must say it's the only one that does help prevent and also heals up the cracks I get in my fingers..those lil cracks sure can be sore..

To all my "pardners", your fq pkgs were dropped by the post office last evening. I thought I'd make it into town sooner, but with the cold, my dh being sick, and my own health "gunk" I'm sorry, I just didn't make it into town on Weds like I thought I would.

Take care all,
Kif

Sewellie+PeginCo+SheriR+Brat= licorice heaven!!! but we can toss out the first three ladies and just send it all to me! and kiffie you cant have licorice fits if your not eating it and you know it. I love it. It does have one health affect which they recommend to you if your prego and cant go to the bathroom. it helps. well its not something I sure as heck need (dialysis hell) but well.. you gotta just eat some sometime. I love it. especially that little Australian licorice it comes in small pieces and man at first its way different than American stuff but then its way better than American stuff. why does candy do that? German Candy is my favorite. what are they doing so right that we are doing so wrong? we make killer everything else! do you have a favorite from another country that is sooo much better than what you can generally find here? (ie hersheys which is owned by Godiva btw)

ok so what I am hearing is you ladies do not have a yard of ugly fabric. really? amazing since dozens of players signed up last year for one. but ok. we will do a variation of mixed fabrics totaling one yard. 1/4, 1/2 and 2 f8ths or any such combo that comes to 1 yard. how does that sound? its the same amount of swap we are doing now but just a different set of sizes. if you have 1 yard then send it if you have 2 fat quarters and a half yard. send it. and so on. just no 5" pieces please or other things that small. minimum size fat 8th. or is that too small? your call your the swappers here. hope that makes you all very happy. btw anyone here who wants to run the swaps is more than welcome to take it over :) no hard feelings. I run out of ideas too so help is always welcome. and an UGLY fabric can be something you bought years ago and now you look at it and think what the heck was I thinking? it appealed toyou once but now it is surely not doing the thing. like I always loved black background fabric with prints with sparkle on it. oh and that fabric that is black with gypsy style flowers on it.. swoon. then I tried putting it in my house.. three cats their hair just magically flies right over to it. groan! so now I look at it and think WHAT WAS I THINKING? that fabric is NOT ever going to get used. great for a single catless person lol. or someone with an investment in those hair roller things. so you can now relook at that fabric on your shelf and say.. will it ever get used? nope. we will do this swap secret partners so ... it will be a true surprise when it arrives :) couple more weeks to plan this so get thinking.

Kiffie - I have tried it and it was pretty good. My favorites are Time & Again Hand Cream in Green Tea (which is really hard to find) or one of the fruity ones. Or, my absolute favorite is Zum Rub in Frankincense & Myrrh from indigowild.com. But this hand cream that letsquilt sent me is pretty amazing stuff… I really like that so far too! I may have another new favorite!
