Annaquilts 01-17-2014 09:13 PM

Loft Quilter ~ I received your package today.

rbwiese 01-24-2014 02:54 PM

OK - getting excited - ready to see the blocks when they come back - then get to "arranging" and filling in the blanks and starting (maybe) to sew. But have several projects ahead of this - hope to have it done by her 2nd birthday in May. Have a wedding in TX to travel to in April, so will miss time there. But my anticipation is growing!

charlotte37830 01-27-2014 10:15 AM

Hello everybody. I haven't forgotten about you all. Everything has been so hectic here lately. Just so you all know. I am working on the swap now. Just hopped on here to let you all know what is going on. I won't be able to get these in today's mail, but will try my best to get them in tomorrow's. Sorry for the hold up, but life happens. It just seems like it is all trying to happen at once. Lol.

givio 01-27-2014 01:53 PM

Ok, thanks, Charlotte! :-)

Annaquilts 01-27-2014 03:29 PM

Thanks for the update and thank you for doing this fun swap.

charlotte37830 01-28-2014 04:42 PM

I got all the charms swapped. Weather permitting they will go in the mail tomorrow. Right now we are snowed in.

charlotte37830 01-28-2014 05:22 PM

Just so everyone knows, you will be getting repeats. There wasn't enough people swapping to avoid having to send repeats. You could always put the repeats back for another I Spy quilt later. Also, I checked each square, I didn't swap any that I thought didn't have a good picture on it after the 1/4" seam allowance. But everyone got back the number they sent. I kept the few that I thought might not meet everyone's standards. If you get something you don't like or that you don't feel is suitable for I Spy, you can cut them down to another size for another quilt, pass it on to someone else or just get rid of it. Please no complaining about what was sent. I think everything sent was so cute and I saw a lot that I've not seen before. I hope everyone enjoys what you get. Happy Quilting!!

Library.Lil 01-29-2014 04:43 AM

Thanks for all your hard work on this, Charlotte! I look forward to getting my squares. And I don't mind repeats!

charlotte37830 01-29-2014 08:25 PM

Thanks, Library.Lil.

Got the packages mailed today. Should start getting them in a few days. Hope everybody likes them.

rbwiese 01-31-2014 09:18 AM

Since postage went up, did these packages go up? Do you need extra money? I am glad to send more if needed.

rbwiese 01-31-2014 09:19 AM

I forgot to say Thank you for your work on this!! LOL

givio 01-31-2014 09:47 AM

Charlotte! Thanks so much!! I got my package today. Yes, please let me know if you needed more postage. It looks like the stamps I put on the envelope were not added to, but it's been a while and I don't remember well.

Everyone! Thanks for the I Spy charms and 2.5 candy! They're great! I found out good news on Christmas that I'm expecting another grandchild!

I wish I'd contributed more candy charms. I've decided on a scrappy pattern that uses them for a quilt that I'm going to try to finish this spring and enter in a quilt show, so I need a lot of them. :-) I've entered SheriR's February swap too and hope to see some of you there again. Great prints, thanks so much!

Library.Lil 02-01-2014 05:31 AM

I got mine yesterday. Great fabrics! I especially liked the chess pieces, the mice, the tickets, I could go on and on! Thanks everyone, and super thanks to Charlotte for putting it all together!

sewmany 02-01-2014 05:34 AM

Got mine. Ty charlotte for hosting

owlvamp 02-01-2014 06:41 AM

I think everyone needs a break and recoup I SPy Fabric. A lot happened here as well and hubby had to go in for eye surgery. It was sudden or he could of lost his eye sight in the eye. His retina was tearing but now it is fixed and I'm putting eye drops in his eye. He has to lay on his left side and when walking has to keep his head to his chin. He's been out of work for 9 days so lucky if we get to pay bills. So hopefully all will get back to what ever normal might be and we can start back up in March or April for the I Spy swap.

Thanks to Charlotte for the wonderful work she has done. My hat goes off to her. It's not a ways easy doing swaps when so much goes on in our lives but it also helps to get our minds off it for a little bit.

Happy Valentines to everyone.!

rbwiese 02-01-2014 01:20 PM

Loved the fabric - thanks to all who sent. And a big thank you to Charlotte - I know the issues with retina problems - had 3 detached retina surgeries - wishing him well through his recovery.

owlvamp 02-01-2014 08:30 PM

rbwiese thank you. It's a pai. But I keep his eye drops in and he is doing good.

charlotte37830 02-01-2014 09:41 PM

Thanks everybody for making this so much fun. I have enjoyed it. I'm glad the packages are starting to arrive and that everyone likes them. The fabrics were so cute. I really liked them all. As far as postage, I had enough to cover it. Thanks though. I wish I could host again, but things have been really hectic here and they are about to get a lot more busy.

We will be getting baby chicks to add to our "ladies" at the end of the month. I'm so excited. We are slowly building up to turning my husband's childhood home back into a farm. Since he still works, I will be doing most of the work until he retires in a few years. I have always wanted a homestead and we are on our way.

owlvamp ~ Thanks for letting me cover the swap for you. I had so much fun. I hope all goes well with your husband.

Susanna10 02-06-2014 08:38 AM

I am very very happy with the charm fabrics I received. I wanted to make an I Spy Quilt with doubles, and with some of the doubles I have at home I am doing great. I have 70 doubles. Thank you for helping me.

owlvamp 02-25-2014 06:38 AM

Here is the next I Spy Swap going on now.

No twist to this one at this time. Just plain old regular Spy Swap. LOL

Thanks Charlotte for all the help you gave. I really did appreciate it.
