Sign me up for July SP swap will PM info in a minute.

Elisabrat 07-03-2010 06:49 AM

This is a fun swap. Its easier for me to do the months I can do vs every month and the price range is truly a reasonable thing for my limited budget. I have so much fun receiving the beautiful items and the nice cards from someone I might never have touched lives with otherwise. I am rearing to go for this one!!!

Dodee 07-03-2010 06:52 AM

What do you exchange or swap then?

CajunQuilter2 07-03-2010 07:44 AM

Wow we have really got alot of us swappers for the month of July. 100 so far and still counting. How awesome is that?? How fun, can't wait to get my swap partner for this month. Anxiously WAITING!!!!!! :-)

Chigger Holler Quilter 07-03-2010 03:30 PM

I, too, was excited to see that the swap for July already has 100 users signed up. That means 100 quilters who are looking forward to getting to know each other and anxious to share. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

It looks like 106 people signed up for the swap! Yoohoo, it is my first swap ever and I am so excited! Can't wait to get my partner assigned and go shopping :lol:

BonniFeltz 07-05-2010 11:27 AM

The wait is almost over! YAY! Can't wait.

quiltingbee12 07-05-2010 11:27 AM

Grand Total of 108, but if anybody else wants to participate, let me know, as I have been debating whether or not to swap this month...

quiltingbee12 07-05-2010 01:47 PM

No, actually 110. Signups Officially closed!!

lab fairy 07-05-2010 02:53 PM

OK, I give up. Is there some secret to being able to tell how many people are signed up besides being the coordinator (who has a really big job, heaven help her)?

sewnsewer2 07-05-2010 03:22 PM

Where is the list who our partner is?

quiltingbee12 07-05-2010 03:59 PM

I am getting it together. If you go to Group Activities, it has a list of names :)

If you go to the site homepage, and scroll down to Group Activities and select the particular swap, it should have the number of participants and their names. And now I can't wait to find who my partner is :lol:

sewnsewer2 07-05-2010 04:12 PM

I'm so excited, I have all kinds of things running through my mind.

quiltingbee12 07-06-2010 11:23 AM

Not everyone has their partner's yet. I am working on it though. I'm about half way through :)

Karen 07-06-2010 11:43 AM

Quiltingbee...thank you for hosting! This going to be sooo much fun!! Do we contact our partner or just keep it a surprise until after the package arrives?!!

quiltswapqueen 07-06-2010 01:18 PM

Thanks for your hard work! I can't wait to go shopping!

we could always post our preference on whether we want to know how our secret pal is. Either before or when we get our squishy. Even though we find out who our sp is our squishy will still be a surprise. If everyone gave their e-mail address you could always contact them that way. I would be ok with it either way. If my pal would like to contact me before I am ok with that and if not I am ok with that too.

BonniFeltz 07-06-2010 01:39 PM

I always put in a note with the squishy so that they know who it is and how to contact me. I've been keeping in touch with my June secret pal and it's a great way to further bond friendships.

candi 07-06-2010 02:38 PM

I just got back from shopping for my secret pal (and myself :lol: ) and will be mailing the package tomorrow....doesn't have a very long way to go. My husband couldn't believe how I excited I was shopping for my pal...I sure hope she likes the stuff :mrgreen:

Luv Quilts and Cats 07-06-2010 02:41 PM

Hi Quilting Bee,

I don't see my name on the list: Luv quilts and cats. I participated in the June swap and sent you a pm for July. Maybe you didn't get it.

Thanks!

rummage 07-07-2010 01:12 AM

:thumbdown: Hi.
I'm really sorry to hear this has happened to you. I think it is really easy to forget that anybody can read some forums, it is easy to get caught up in the intimate friendly and innocent chats we are all having with each other. On the plus side I am happy for you that your bank is on the ball.
Thanks for the sound advice and warning. Take Care! :)

Lynnie,
This is a fun swap, don't stess too much on what to send, just send either along the guidelines your pal gave or buy something you might like to receive. We are a fun group and into this for the friendship more so than what we get, I think. We are just thrilled at anything someone else took the time to pick out for us. Atleast I know I am so have fun shopping....... :lol: :lol:

I agree totally. It is so much fun waiting to see what everyone recieves.

quiltingbee12 07-07-2010 06:39 AM

I have made a mistake.

If you have not gotten a secret pal, please pm me. Apparently I missed some sign ups in my inbox. I am working to correct this.

grandme26 07-07-2010 07:05 AM

I will be shopping Friday for my SP. I am forming a list in my mind of what to send to her. Love this idea. and Thank you to the SP who received my name. I am looking forward to knowing both of you.

sewnsewer2 07-07-2010 07:44 AM

Got my SP's name and am going shopping today! :)

rummage 07-07-2010 08:41 AM

This is my first 'SP' and I got her details today, can't wait to go shopping! This is a great idea and lots of fun!!
