I got mine cut yesterday. Hope to get them in the mail on Monday.:)

Mariposa 05-25-2012 06:43 AM

It is good to see so many folks have mailed in early, and I know there are more still working on those stamps-including me!! Cut, cut, cut!
Fun peeking at what fabrics folks have sent in. Amazing just how many different ones are out there~~~

I'll be watching for those squishys! :)

My envelope went out last week. Being new to this swap, does anyone have any pictures of what they have done with these little darlings.

I am mailing my 20 sets of squares out tomorrow. Can't wait to get started and see all the pretty squares I get in return.

SheriR 05-30-2012 05:51 AM

Just PMed Mariposa. I think I have 50 fabrics I can get 1.5" squares out of to seal into 20 baggies. Did that make sense? :D

it sure does.:thumbup:

Mariposa 05-30-2012 06:29 AM

Sheri, that will work! :)

Is it alright for a newbie to jump in at the last minute for this swap? I've been poking around the forum for a couple of months now and finally registered today. I've already got one set (and 1/5 th of the next) cut up in anticipation of joining in on the swap since it sounded pretty cool and I have a lot of scraps. I was working at doing some headband/scarfs and I-spy quilts for my mom's church community yard sale, but work has been pretty rough the last couple of months... so I've got lots of squares and small scraps from lots of different fabrics and only a couple of headbands to show for it. Being a newbie at this I think I'd only go for 5 sets, just to get my feet wet. :)

Mariposa 05-31-2012 12:22 PM

Argentium~ You'll be just fine! :)

Pink Lady 05-31-2012 12:39 PM

Just came back from the post office my 20 baggies with 52 fabrics( few extra) in each one are on the way. Hope I did it all right this is my first swap:) Can hardly wait to get some back.

Mariposa 05-31-2012 04:17 PM

Havplenty- I am away from home, but look forward to seeing all your squares! :)

Fraew 05-31-2012 04:46 PM

Time is really flying by! I've been busy decluttering and preparing for my annual garage sale so I haven't been around much. Guess I'd better get my stamps in the mail on Monday. :thumbup:

Mariposa 06-03-2012 06:19 AM

Twisted~ Glad you're joining us! :)

Fraew 06-04-2012 09:59 AM

twisted you really gotta get on top of this mailing stuff so you can be in the swap. i really am hoping kinda expecting possibly to sorta receive fabric squares from you hopefully.:D

Twisted Quilter 06-04-2012 06:50 PM

WooHoooooo, I got my stamps in the mail today! When is the next swap? :o

Mariposa 06-05-2012 04:02 AM

Pink Lady 06-05-2012 12:36 PM

I've had my packages done for weeks but unable to make it to the post office until this week. I had a few different packages. If you get one of mine, I hope it has different fabric than previous swaps. :thumbup:

bepositive 06-08-2012 08:15 AM

I just put my package in the mail - hopefully you'll get it soon! :)

Mariposa 06-08-2012 09:03 AM

bepositive- I will keep watching for it!

Pink Lady 06-08-2012 03:27 PM
