Just sent my PM. I'm in for the flower swap!

Fiestypixy 02-27-2015 04:08 PM

Linda - you are some kind of mind reader! You knew I was going to sign up before I did! I noticed my name on the list this morning. I'm excited about the flower fabric!

kiffie2413 02-27-2015 07:26 PM

[QUOTE=Elisabrat;7107644]Here is a temporary list of people I have signed up. IN theory. I miss people right and left so if your name is not on this list please do me a favor and cut and paste the list and add your name to it so I have it right in front of me! thanks. trying to cut the missing people off this list. I am not posting the side swap as I don't want swappers swapping early and I know you guys sitting on GO! so just know I have you and will put your list up on Sunday and and at that point your free to put your name on the list for people to grab. not before :)

TEMPORARY LIST OF SWAPPERS FOR SPRING FLOWER FAT QUARTERS:

Jaba
Letsquilt
Jeanne49
Cuppy
Bullock2us
WMUTeach
fiestypixy
jclingenrey
patchesnposies
nancyw
Sheri R
Sewellie
Craftymatt2

Kiffie2413
I can't believe I was forgotten...loudmouth that I am!! Lol...

Elisabrat 02-28-2015 05:39 AM

Ok I am sorry didn't mean to jump the gun with you fiestypixy! that is why I post a prelist. helps me not blow it when I hand out partners!

I haven't received any emails saying I left you off yet. I will hand out partners to answer your questions. I am going to pair you up but not on the Easter list. That list you will be allowed to just write the person listed and ask if they would like to swap with you. If you both agree please go cut and paste that list again minus your two names. its as simple as that. this way both of you wont get 100 requests to swap! if you are asking for two swaps go ahead and cut paste and reduce the number of swaps you have available. Most times this swap is filled quickly so if your wanting Easter keep your eyes open and be ready to snag a partner for the side swap FAST. I have five that want side swaps one wants two so fast is my suggestion and its not for the weak of heart! lol. you must receive confirmation from them that they will swap with you. Some go very quickly! just warning you lol.

Elisabrat 03-01-2015 07:07 AM

Ok I need one more partner to play this round! PM me if you can do this! odd numbers are so hard to do!

kiffie2413 03-01-2015 11:34 AM

No worries, I'll just go off by myself and pout;).

Okay,
Done pouting...lol
I have flowers and Easter if anyone wants to swap. Jaba, if you're not trading flowers with Bullock2us pm me.

SheriR 03-01-2015 04:57 PM

Patchesnposies and I are in contact for Flowers! Texas has the prettiest spring flowers! I Always get a yard of what I intend on sending. I can swap with two more if anyone's game. We're also swapping Easter! My idea for that was to get Easter color 30's repros. Sooooo I can do two more of those too. If anyone's game. Let me know. :D

oneteappot 03-01-2015 07:26 PM

Looks like I missed this swap sign up. I would have been in for the flower FQS but I didn't get a pm sent to our leader!
Any chance I can still get in on it?
Laurel

kiffie2413 03-01-2015 07:41 PM

Elisabrat 03-02-2015 05:59 AM

ok Sheri has enough partners. anyone else? If you haven't removed your name from the list please do so now if your all sent out. Darn Sheri I was wistfully thinking of your easter and sparkly butterflies! those sounded marvelous cant wait to see who got the lucky bunch! wowsa. You guys are killing me. Wish I had postage I would play honest I would! today is my lucky day. I am starting a new quilt on the block of the month board. Its a row robin in a new way. some are doing traditional and some like me are doing one that is a scene. so I am attempting to do a beach scene.. yikes with only the fabric on hand. this will be interesting. I don't have sand! lol or.. waves! or tropical water! lol so I will be getting artsy for sure. still looking for the water thinking a batik? with light teal and blue's would be a great beach water.. if you see that one let me know asap where you found it. I have been searching for days now.

oneteappot 03-02-2015 06:40 AM

Sheri! LOL Have I been the victim of "auto-correct"??? My teenage boys would think that Patchworkposse is a MUCH cooler board name than the one I have! LOL

You made my day! :D

kiffie2413 03-02-2015 04:02 PM

SheriR,
You just hog all you want!! Lol...
"Patchworkposse", that IS a pretty cool name! Auto correct and I have typed some pretty, um interesting things...
Brat,
You may just have some pkgs on the way, I can't say if there's any sparkly butterflies in there, but you never know... I will say I have sparkly "s word" spi#:er fabric, but I didn't put any in your pkgs..;)

jaba 03-02-2015 04:06 PM

Mailed out all my packages today and sent brat a PM with the confirmation numbers. Hope you ladies like my choices for you

jeanne49 03-02-2015 04:15 PM

I see my name on the side swap for Easter, but who is my partner for the regular FQ swap?

SheriR 03-02-2015 04:52 PM

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz............. Do you ever try and try to make your phone type a word. I swear I typed it right. More than once. Dumb phone.

TPr9258 03-02-2015 05:16 PM

boy oh boy now I feel behind was going to mail mine out wednesday or thursday, have to get stuff from post office

jaba 03-02-2015 06:27 PM

jeanne49, sent you a PM for this and for the mug rug. Seems like not a good month for either one?? Don't want anyone left out that signed up and wants to swap, let it be known ladies

jeanne49 03-02-2015 08:40 PM

Anyone still looking to partner on the Easter side swap? Send me a PM if you are. Thanks

kiffie2413 03-02-2015 11:55 PM

Jeanne49,
I have Easter, happy to swap with you.
Kif

Elisabrat 03-03-2015 05:32 AM

Jeanne I did have you paired for the mug rugs just didn't see you wanted both swaps. Please everyone send me a sign up for one swap then another sign up for the other swap titled which swap you want to be in. if its FEB mug rugs then say FEB mug rugs lol so I get it. slower than molasses. My apologies and thank you Jan for taking care of all who have been left out. :)

I loved the fabrics shown at that hideous web site. really? what kind of name is that for a quilt store!!! grin.. gross totally gross is all I can say. thanks for the link however :)

lots of fabric being traded glad to see people just picking up where I left off. I was thinking I could just post a list of people who want to swap but I am afraid some will get left off and that leads to hard feelings so I believe its better to partner those I can (sigh) and let the few who get missed partner with anyone willing. I know this leaves the option for two or three people who aren't on the list but its better than 20. with the same people not picked each month. that is not fair and I believe not reasonable. so if you again have a better idea how to do this let me know. I am all ears. not a full memory but all ears :) I never leave off anyone intentionally. Ever. I don't hold for favorites and I simply do what I can. thought I did ok this month but again.. blew it. shoot! maybe I will find a partner who can help me get the list together each month. this way there is a better chance at getting things done right?

SEND me PMs each month with name address board name and phone number. LABEL each and every sign up with FAT QUARTER SWAP for.. (month). this way your going to do a bit better with being kept on the list. I apologize for not getting this right. There are people who are far more skilled than I am at doing this. thus far no one wants this swap permanently. Only offers for help you out this month... so if you want to tackle this permanently let me know. I don't want people upset for being left off. I cant do any more than I am doing however.

kiffie2413 03-03-2015 10:58 AM

Brat,
You're doing just fine. And I mean that sincerely!! I also say it as I'm one who KNOWS I could not run a swap..no way no how... I could try, but I fear I'd end up:
A- banned- no explanation needed
B- divorced- self explanatory
C- crazy-er- ditto on y'all know why

I can also confirm under penalty of never being allowed to touch fabric again :shock: that I sincerely believe you do NOT play favorites. As I was omitted this month, and if you did play favorites that NEVER would've happened because I KNOW you love me!

Lastly, in an odd way my omission has been a good thing...as I'm now swapping with a kajillion ladies, so I'm looking forward to LOTS of new fqs to pet, ooh, and aah over. Oh, and maybe use in a project, too:thumbup:.

Lastly, I have plenty of flowers, and Easter if anyone is still needing a partner. That is if there's anyone left I'm not already swapping with...lol..

Hugs,
Kif

Fiestypixy 03-03-2015 12:11 PM

As a newbie - it's hard enough for me to keep up with my own swaps, Linda. I have NO IDEA how you keep up with what all the rest of us are doing.

Fiestypixy 03-03-2015 12:12 PM

I'm excited about having Bullock for my partner. She was my ugly fabric partner last month. It almost feels like a relief to get to send her pretty fabrics this month!

jeanne49 03-03-2015 12:19 PM

Please Linda, don't worry about it, I know there are always others who totally understand and take in addl partners. I was away when the list was first posted and that's why I didn't notify you till yesterday. Jaba took me as a partner for the MR and floral FQ swap, and Kiffe and I are doing the side swap. So all is well in the world of swappers!!! Your primary concern should be your health and everyone understands this (or at least they should unless they are complete idiots). Hope I don't hurt anyones feelings with that last statement, but we're getting another round of sleet and rain again today so I'm not a happy camper. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS WEATHER!!!!! I want sun and warm weather and it can't come soon enough.

jeanne49 03-03-2015 12:41 PM

Mailed my floral FQs today. Now to work on the side swap.

Agreed!
We still have snow on the ground from a few days ago, and another snowstorm is headed our way. This one is bringing ice as an appetizer..joy, joy..NOT!

sewellie 03-03-2015 06:45 PM

Linda, oh precious Linda. You are so wanted and appreciated. How do I know that? Look at how many people keep signing up for this swap. If someone gets left off it's not your fault. Don't take it so personal, you're only human for goodness sakes. And have you noticed that if someone inadvertently gets left off, they work it out themselves? And always remember, you give temporary names and give them many chances to get in touch with you if they were left off. If they don't like it - well, you know. There are many places on this board that they can join if they're unhappy here. I've thought long and hard on this and truly don't know how you do what you do. I, for one, could never even come close to doing what you do!!! Please don't leave us. There are a few people in this swap that will help you if you need it.

So, again, please don't be so hard on yourself, sit back and relax and let the cards fall where they may. Stress will not make things go away, just makes it harder. We (and you know who we are) love you, please call on us if you become overwhelmed or whatever, just ask.

SheriR 03-03-2015 07:10 PM

Linda.....a friend Ive known for years has a personal motto "Do you best and BAG the rest!" No more being hard on our brat!!!! Yup we love her!!
