I mailed mine Wednesday. I tried to send you the tracking number, Sewbizgirl, but the messaging was having problems last night. Expected delivery is Saturday. Let me know if you don't get them and I'll try again to send the tracking number.

I sent mine today. I did find enough uncut fabric to do one twist.

Got your package today, Library.Lil... a whole day early! And your fabrics look so cute.

Sewbizgirl 8 sets/ 8 twists (received)

I'd like to start wrapping this one up, so if you have not yet sent your package, please start getting it together and get it in the mail as soon as you can. Barbara Kibbler has been in and out of town lately, but I'm sure she will confirm with me, one way or the other, in the next few days.

Mine are cut will be in the mail tomorrow. I will send the tracking number when i have it! thanks for hosting again! can't wait to make this jar quilt. I made my first couple of blocks already with some of my fabric. I can't wait to see what you all send!

Sounds good, ladies! Looks like I should see some packages this week.

Dottie Dodge's package arrived today! Wow, faster than I expected. So... YAY! I can swap them out and get them all right back in the mail to you-- on Monday, because of the holiday.

Wishing you all a great 4th of July!

Look for this swap again in the late fall, in time for Christmas gift quilting. Owlvamp and I agreed it doesn't need to be run as often, since we are having trouble getting swappers to play. So, only 2-3 times a year might work better. See you all in the Fall!

Thanks for playing. Please post when you get your package, just so I know all's well.

Ok swappers... All your packages are labeled and in my car, ready to get dropped off at the P.O. tomorrow morning on my way to church. Thanks, everyone.

We had enough players in the regular swap that there are no duplicates. That is, unless people bought the same fabrics within their sets. But no sets were duplicated.

Unfortunately, we didn't have enough people who wanted to do the food jar swapping... only 5, and we each sent in 8 sets. So, you each will get back two of your own sets plus one duplicate of someone else's. I found 20 fabrics all different, so you will each have two sets from me, but they are two different sets. Hope you can make a jar quilt or some cute market tote bags or something else from these! There are only so many "packed food" prints on the market anyway, so we were bound to get repeats. Hope you have fun with what you got!

The regular I Spy fabrics all look adorable and new! I can't wait to go through mine soon.

This swap will not be repeated until late Fall... towards the end of the year, due to low interest. Keep that in mind and I'll see you then!
Happy 4th!

Thanks for all that you've done for the swap, Sewbizgirl! And Owlvamp! I'm excited to get my squares! Mid to late fall sounds good to me! I don't like to get too close to the holidays because going to the PO at that time is such a pain!

Hi all! I saw the title of this board and thought some of you might want to know that a "farmer's market" charm pack is the deal of the day over at the missouri star quilt co. Pretty good deal on it if anyone needs food fabric!

Thanks Hikeaddict, will check it out.

Thanks, Library.Lil

Mine have been received what fun prints! Can't wait to do a jar quilt. thanks for all the hard work sewbizgirl

Package received today - couldn't wait to rip it open! So many prints I've never seen before, and all so cute. Thanks to everyone who swapped and especially to sewbizgirl for hosting.

You are welcome! I thought we had some great prints this time, too. And I'm looking forward to playing with a jar quilt. Thanks to everyone who sent in squares to swap.

Got my package, and LOVE the charms this time. So many new to me! Thanks everyone!
And the food...how fun was that?!?! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
Thank you, sewbizgirl, for a fabulous swap! I want in on the fall fun, too!!

I'll remember that! Glad you liked your swap package.

You too, Suz and Kele... thanks for letting me know you got your packages and are happy!

I got my package today and will look at them tomorrow. From everyone's comments, sounds like I won't be disappointed. Sewbizgirl, thanks for all your work.

You're welcome, Jannie. Have fun going through your goodies.

Received mine today! Thanks so much to everyone who participated and to our hostess! Love them! Can't wait to use them!

Thank you sewbizgirl for being our host. I have received my fabric and this is the best swap yet! So many adorable fabrics. I'll be watching for the next swap in the fall.

Thank you ladies, for letting me know you received.... I thought it was a great swap too. Lots of fun fabrics. I'm so glad everyone is happy!

Have my charms! Love them all. Thanks everyone for swapping and a special thanks to sewbizgirl for being our hostess. Sewbizgirl,, thank you for the two pieces of cake!

You're welcome for the calorie-free cake, dottie dodge! That was my thank you to those who swapped. One cake for the regular and one for the twist!

Any one have a paper piece pattern for jar quilts or know where I can find one?

A quick search turned up this one:

I'm sure there are probably others online. Please post your quilt when you make it!

Hi Ladies - I haven't been on in awhile, but I finally finished my big I spy! 576 squares - I could never have done it without swapping many times with all of you.

That is fabulous, quiltingdragon! Are those 5" squares, or smaller?

Beautiful I spy quilt. Love it!!

Those are 5", 4.5" finished!

Wow! That is amazing! Great job collecting and using your charms!

Love the quilt quiltingdragon!

Wow - that is some quilt. A lot of squares to join. Looks great.

I hit send before I was finished!

Any more swaps this year? It has been a really long time.

Great job quilting dragon! I always love seeing projects made with the swap squares. I have been making preemie donation quilts and baby quilts from some of the I Spy squares I received in swaps.

I know it has! But it's been so hard to get people interested in I Spys for some reason. These swaps used to be huge, but the last time or two it was like pulling hen's teeth to get enough people to sign up just to have a swap. And then there are the no shows and last minute cancelers... which meant everyone got lots of repeats back. I have no plans to do another swap this year. In the Spring I may put out feelers to see how many are interested.

LibraryLil on this board does I Spy swaps on Flickr, and she even had trouble getting enough people to play this latest time she ran a swap. Don't know why!

That's a sweet quilt, Anna.

Has anyone done anything with the food fabrics? Any jar quilts?

Not yet.I had to get my daughter 's king quilt done so I could deliver it 2 weeks ago. Now, I am trying to decide if I should do the jar quilt before my granddaughters quilt. Oh the decisions we have to make.
