Kathleen - I was thinking the same thing! Thought maybe I didn't quite make the cut (pun intended) - - still waiting patiently. . . . Jane

These photos have been brought to you by the Quilters of America Pet Foundation.

This is a larger pic of Peach. I found him in the park when he was about 5 wks old. He was chasing a little girl on a bicycle! I lost my 2 dogs in the last year each was over 16 yrs old. I have had nothing but rescued animals for years and would never do it differently again and my family owned Rambleridge Collie Kennel for many years in Texas.

Lstew2212 02-06-2013 03:39 PM

Got my names, Yeah. I hope they like St Patty's day, I love Holiday Material. Both of my packages are going west of me.

jaba 02-06-2013 06:10 PM

Both of mine are in the mail and headed home. A little of this and a little of that. Each of you will make it work, I have faith!!

Aprilisslowlylearnlytoquilt 02-06-2013 08:54 PM

I always do delivery confirmation on my packages when i mail them out, when i mailed them today instead of my little white and green receipts they usually give which i can easily keep track of, he says *oh we dont do that anymore, you have to keep you receipt you paid with, the numbers are on there* I was like, it just white and it looks just like my other receipts.... I'm just annoyed..with that... ok I'm done venting :)

luvstoquilt 02-07-2013 04:44 AM

Package will go today...I will brave the icy rain to get to the PO so it will be on the way...my package has 286 miles to go and will head out East and then go North around Lake Michigan and then East again...maybe a little NE. Hope you get it by Saturday. This is my first time to do this and I PM'd Brenda I would let her know I sent it...read the rules one more time and she said "No need to do that"...so I won't fill up your message box Brenda...Happy Day everyone!

Elisabrat 02-07-2013 05:36 AM

Ok I am mailing my two today. Yesterday I was very selfish and spent it right here at home all day long. Had the house cleaned and I sewed. Even had someone pick up a couple things at the market so I didnt have to do that. Hows that for a grand day? I know mine are going somewhere as Brenda did share a couple names with me. I think I am NOT sending to NY, or FL or to say GA after that its a mystery to me to. my mind is not clicking on what I wrote so there will be no clues at this time. the biggest clue would be say Sat or Monday when your mail arrives. I will be sad when Sat mail stops too.. for now the are cutting the hours here to 6 hours M to F and 4 on Sat as the postal station does not have enough boxs I guess.

I am mailing mostly green/yellow fabrics as I dont have beads, or feathers or masks to send you. I think they will be wonderously useful to make the shamrock of our dreams quilty item. because everyone dreams shamrocks right?

mscupid804 02-07-2013 06:21 AM

Okie dokie, FQ's moving to KS as we speak!:)

Vanogay 02-07-2013 11:14 AM

I'm sorry you don't have beads or masks or such Elisabrat. If I had only known, I'd have asked Brenda to make sure I got your name and I'd send you some. Maybe next time.
Sent some really stuffed packages to my names - hopefully they'll post so you can see their Mardi Gras special!

Grandma Peg 02-07-2013 11:27 AM

My package was mailed today and went to state that has much warmer weather. We had sleet and rain today, so it was a little tricky to walk on the sidewalks and drive. Now they are saying some more snow. Winter is getting longer and longer.

jaba 02-07-2013 12:24 PM

SOS, I need some quick help ladies....do any of you have the fabric with the chocolates on it? The one with all the pieces of candy. I just need a tiny piece for fussy cutting that would give me about 4 or 5 pieces. I need it for a very special Boom 9 block and no one has it around here. If you could part with a tiny bit of it I will gladly send you the money for fabric and postage.

hav4boys 02-07-2013 01:15 PM

In the mail in the morning
 
I need to take pictures of my animals... but it would take a whole page of the forum... we have 3 dogs, 5 cats, 2 rabbits, a guinea pig, and a turtle. All our animals are rescue. In addition, I feed a feral cat colony of 11 and have most of them where I can pet them now.

It is too late but we do it each month...keep an eye on the threads for the March swap:thumbup: a PM is a private message and to do that you click on the persons name (in blue) and click on "send message".

hav4boys 02-08-2013 07:46 AM

tubsfam 02-08-2013 11:56 AM

Brenda,

Why didn't I get notice of someone to mail mine to? I feel very left out.

ssnare 02-08-2013 12:01 PM

Kif
PS My fqs going out to someone who lives in my state...and someone who lives where my dad was born...One thing both states have in common is windy, windy days....

MaryMo 02-08-2013 03:46 PM

I received a fabulously green package today from aprilislearningtoquilt. It held some beautiful fabrics, a surprise and a card. I can't wait to begin stitching ... pictures to follow in the next day or so.

Kiffie, that musical instrument fabric is super .... my fingers want to touch it!

antiquegirl68 02-08-2013 03:57 PM

I am new to this swap and I have a quick question, Can the FQS be larger than the size required?

Thanks a bunch.
