Imagine that :) how did you know?? I do make quilts in different colors though. :)

mine is going out tomorrow. a friend will drive me to the pO to mail it.

My son just stopped by and is mailing out the package. Yipee. hopefully it will be thre in a few days. i'll pm you with the tracker # when he gets back.

Sent mine out to California. Thjis was so much fun, I can't wait until August.

Got it done and am mailing today. It's on the way azcardsgirl

Mine should be received tomorrow, but you know the Post Office here.
they even print out the day it's promised and they never deliver on time.
what's wrong with them, if they were a regular business, they'd be out of business.

hopefully we start getting pictures soon.
any idea for next months theme???

dang this sounds like a swap i would like to do but didnt see the posting til today. will try to make next months swap

mine should have arrived today!!! please let me know. will be looking if a picture is up. no camera on this end.

Lynnie didn't come today. I will let you know,maybe tomorrow. Mailing out all my swaps tomorrow.

and the po promised it on Tuesday. wow, that's a long time for sure.

never trust the po. LOL

The trouble with the P.O. is that one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. Explain to me how one priority (2 day delivery) package can sit in limbo at one post office along the way for 2 weeks... and then start moving again. Huh? And is there any refund for the "priority" price, versus a 'slow boat to China' price? Of course not.

They promise the moon with their services, but it's "not guaranteed". Just ask any postal worker about that priority two or three day shipping and they will tell you, "but it's not guaranteed". So why claim it if it's not guaranteed...

The USPS needs some serious competition.

and why charge so much if it's not getting there. they need to refund people when it's supposed to be there, but it isn't. Just not right, if you ask me.

There is this one lady at my small local post office that whenever I want my tracking number she forgets to scan it or something, and then I never see it listed so then I go to their place online asking about it, and they send her a notice and then she gets upset for me saying anything. So why does she think I pay for it? lol...

Oooh, that's messed up! They get paid SO MUCH for that job... the least they can do is do it right.

Does anybody have a sneak peek to post?

I'm afraid I only took a picture of the finished quilt... no sneek peek.

The other lady at the post office does a good job, so I try now to get her or my husband if he is going that way will go to this other post office that always does good.

still no package Lynnie

wonder where it could be. I sent you the tracker number. do you know where it is?
it's only going a bit north of me, you're only a bit from me. what did they do, send it to CA???

No peek here, haven't checked but partner should have it soon.

My partner should have hers soon too. I hope....

oh Jaba, I can't wait..... I'm finishing yours up and will be out soon! :)

Jaba, I'm excited. I have lots of colors in yours!

My partner should have hers , if 2 day priority mail means 2 days!

Got my yo, yo mini from Dotty yesterday was gone. Love it thank you Dotty your will be sent out Monday.

Very cute! I have fond memories of a yo yo doll my mother made for me when I was very little. I was just facinated with the yo yos!

mine still hasn't been rec'd yet. over a week to go two states. if you got it, please let me know. maybe you(linda) know how to use the tracker number.

I will be checking my post office tomorrow. (Saturday) We didn't get out today. Then I will be finishing yours. :):)

Very pretty mini quilt JuanitaBean. yo yo's are fun to make. :) Great Work Dottie !

love Dotty's mini, reminds me of sunflowers.

This is starting to get exciting as we see the quilts come in...

You should go to the usps tracking site. then you punch in the tracking number and it will show if your item is locked in somewhere or if its not moved in days or at least where it is in theory. Some packages to way south before they go way north. No idea why. I think they accidentally ship to odd locations then have to back track. example: sent a package once to NY. It went to Az then to Kentucky off to Florida before it headed up to NY. now why did it have to go to Kentucky is anyones guess. Or Florida. Think something got read wrong before it was corrected. Some packages just disappear. forever. Most get where they are supposed to work fine but not all do. its hit or miss. You could send UPS I suppose or even Fed X but no idea the cost and no idea how fast. My sister ships everything UPS and says they are comp. but honestly I cant vouch forthat. The post office is right around the corner from me which pretty much sells it to me. I can only get so many places and the post office is the one for me. Anyone have a better description please share it with Lynnie. That is the best I can do :(

Cute yo yo mini JuanitaBean!! Dotty nice work :thumbup:

Lynnie - I understand your frustration. I mailed out a swap on Tuesday with Friday set as delivery date - checked the tracking number and it "sat" at one segment of its destination for 2 days, needless to say it did not arrive yesterday (it was going from AL to Washington state) and hopefully will be delivered today. Like Brat said, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason for routes taken with the post office, but we just have to be patient or go crazy :rolleyes:

I realized I didn't subscribe to this thread (light bulb moment) so I have now taken care of that little task.

I just got back from a wonderful 4-day quilt retreat and had a great time!!! I finished 3 UFO tops, sewed binding on a huge quilt and made 6 boomerang blocks. Now back to reality.

I'm seeing some lovely minis. Mine is in the works.

JANE, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SHOW US?

Linda, I sent you the tracker number, can you look it up? I don't have the paper anymore with the tracker number on it. so frustrating. I mailed it over a week now. this has been happening to much to me lately, I send it tracker and all, and it takes forever to get there.

I sent a quilt to Charisma, and it took over a week, when it was to be to her in 2 days. very frustrating for sure.

lynnie says will arrive to my house Tuesday. I will let you know.

that just burns me. it will be almost 2 weeks to go two states. you were to have it last Monday.
I have a lot i'd love to say to the PO but I know it won't do me any good. At least we know.
thanks letting me know.

I was gone most of the day to a cook out with my son and daughter in law, including last minute fireworks at the end. We had a great time, but I picked up mail on my way over there, and I recieved a wonderful, beautiful package from my July Swap Partner (sewbizgirl). She made me a gorgeous mini quilt with beautiful piecing and quilting. Such pretty colors in the quilt. She also sent me a first ever book by Jean Hager- An Irish House Mystery. Title: Death on the Drunkard's Path. A pretty coaster that I am getting ready to use. Some Coffee Nips getting ready to taste with a cup of coffee. Several fabric squares with so many of my favorite designs, and a beautiful note on a very pretty card. Thank you so much for a wonderful package Bonnie. Here are some pictures I just took.
