I missed out on the swap this month so sikesjj (Jamie) graciously offered to trade with me....I think I asked her how many she wanted to trade, 2 or 4..... and she said let's do 4.....So that's what I did....I SENT HER 4 FAT QUARTERS......imagine my surprise when I got my big, beautiful assortment of 20 FAT QUARTERS from her. I did sent her out 16 more yesterday by 2day priority mail and sent her the tracking number. I must have lost my mind that day----not only do I know we trade 5 fat quarters, so I don't know where the 2 or 4 came from....but I also don't know why I wasn't thinking in terms of sets. OK....maybe this isn't really a funny story....but it does say what a gracious, considerate soul Jamie is! Thanks for being so understanding, Jamie!

Blessings....

I totally get why you thought only 4 fqs..maybe we have "shared fq hysteria senior moments"..lol!
I am sure Jamie totally understood, too..since you sent the others out to her no harm done.. I always tell on myself for my "goofs", my quilting group friends say it made them feel better when I joined the group and have been so honest about my um, "loony tooniness"...
Regards,
Kif

Oh heck dear I hear a QUILT of fabric at your disposal so get sewing. She did you a favor now you will put them into use asap so you can show her tada I know how to make it happen (even if you have to borrow an egg quilt book from the library right?)

OK I just posted my ELISABRATs fall/halloween tablerunner/mat swap so think you could sign up and be so geared for this its not funny! with this swap your stash.. you are SET! quick! before slots run out (oh no slot alotment? pretend!)

I heard from Brenda that my second set of 30s will be coming as an "angel" package. I have no idea what that means, but I assume whoever had my name didn't participate. Does anyone know what happens? I don't want Brenda to have to send a set for the person who failed to fulfill their commitment. It won't keep me from signing up for next months swap, I guess I would like to know what happens to the person who didn't keep to their agreement to swap.

I received my swap of FQ's from Auntpiggylpn yesterday. Such beautiful fabric and she is so generous! She sent me 5 beautiful FQ's, all new to me and a half yard of another beautiful 30's fabric. Then along with everything else she included a personalized coffee cup wrap!
Now I just have to learn how to post pictures! Thank you so much Ruth!

Well, I'm so glad this set reached its destination! I hope the other set found a home with a quilter who's name begins with "P" !!!!

sewellie 08-01-2013 06:32 AM

Could we please see a picture of the personalized coffee cup wrap? It sounds like something I would love to make. Thanks for considering this.

Elisabrat 08-03-2013 03:57 AM

WELL while your waiting you can hop on over to the table runner swap and sign up! its fall or Halloween themed this time and shoot you can plan out your design while waiting to receive some gorgeous fall fabrics in the next swap! or even do something crazy like pull from your stash! oh yes this is a marvelous idea. Several of you have already signed up and its going to be one fun chat for all!

I was so surprised to get this swap! 5 FQ's, I half yard of the blue fabric that has little children tumbling on it. Then there is the coffee mug wrap. It is so cute when I put it around my mug!

Aprilisslowlylearnlytoquilt 08-03-2013 12:53 PM

Personally, I would not mind doing a 30's swap again, soon!

maggy 08-03-2013 07:29 PM

Got the second package today from an ANGEL, Mary Mo. Thank you so much!

MaryMo 08-14-2013 06:38 PM

Glad you liked those 30's, Sharon! I tried to send the favorites from my stash. Sometimes things happen .... and angels pitch in.
