Can you guys pm me your addy and the block you need? I have them here- I have been working 12 hr days and week ends. I set them aside to mail but I don't go to the post office often so they got buried under wedding shower stuff. I missed the deadline to mail.

My humble apologies- I do have them!!! They are cool looking. I will mail them out asap to you individually. I will also include an envelope with postage on it if you want to send my block to me. If not, I understand.

You may beat me now....... I am a delinquent.

P.S. off to work now- why can't I win the lottery so I can stay home and quilt- oh yeah, right- you have to play to win and I don't buy lottery tickets.

Hey Barb...you weren't in my group, but if you were...why I'd come after you with a big wet slimey spaghetti noodle!!! Afterall...its not like you have ANYTHING else going on right now... :lol: :lol:

I honestly am going day to day, putting out fires as I go. Trying to train an employee, other employee comes back next week (she works for H&R Block in tax season). Wedding shower is in 2 weeks. Buying building at the end of the month, need to coordinate contractors to work and then move by 5/22/09.

Then wedding 6/13. breath- just slightly, then on to next wedding shower at end of July and then wedding in Sept. Add in 3 family reunions, an assortment of car shows and cruises. I figure I will come up for air at the end of October.

I will probably not be online much, just a snippet here and there to relax myself (that's what I do now- 5 min. and then gone, just enough to lower the blood pressure and back to work).

I certainly won't be joining any swaps or groups- I'll be lucky if I can just sew a seam or two along the way.

I am sure everyone will understand Barb. They just want to know!

I received my blocks and they are all beautiful. I'll post a photo as soon as I can get new batteries for my camera.

I still need to make more of the blocks in order to have enough for a queen sized quilt. I've been sketching some ideas on how to use the blocks in my quilt......but none of the ideas have really struck my fancy.

Thank you Bebe for hostessing this swap. Thank you to all the ladies in my group that made me the beautiful blocks.

I received my beautiful butterflies today. I am so pleased. They are all unique & such great variety. They are going to make a lovely quilt. I plan to use flowered fabric in between to even up the rows, etc.

Received my blocks yesterday. I only received 10 also. Thanks for those who participated!

Just a short note. I accidentally kept back a few blocks from the swaps will send as soon as I get a break. Waiting to see what Barb M is going to do??????
I will hold her blocks back for awhile and if no one recieves one from her I will send them back to you. Ladies you need to be more patient and understanding. Give me a brake!!!! I am working nights and very busy in the morning before work and trying to adjust to my new schedule.
Who cares what we got or didn't get. Get over it things happen when we swap with others that we do not know over the internet. Not everything works out perfectly :shock: :roll: :?
Most of you have been very understanding just a few of you finally got on my nereves. Sorry I have to be so bold and blunt and I have to express how I am feeling!!!!!! :( :cry: :roll: :?

Barb, as I understand that you are very busy you also have to keep in mind that questions and complaints are what you take on when you decide to host a swap. You have to be willing to field all the concerns and keep people updated. You will find that when people are well-informed about what is going on there will be less friction and more understanding.

We do really appreciate all the time and effort you put into this swap. It was very well organized and informed up until the swap deadline. After that it went down hill.

I think everyone will really enjoy their blocks and are just anxious to be able to use them in the project they had envisioned.

Bebe - I'm sure that I am one that got on your nerves and I'm sorry for that, but you must understand that our nerves were getting tweeked also when the rules kept getting changed.

I too wondered about the # of blocks I received but thought I was just mistaken about the number. I made one for Barbm also & would like the block to go to her even if I don't get the one she made for me (sounds like she could use a happy moment. Sometimes life just gets in the way of doing everything we plan on doing.
I love my blocks & am glad I joined the challenge.

no blocks for me yet :(

I didn't recieve my blocks yet, but, I'm not in any hurry for them. oh ,I'm anxious to see them,however I have so many projects that need to get done first.
I made 2 extra blocks to make up for the dropouts, but that was okay. sometimes events happen in our lives that we have no controll over and happen not to turn out the way they should., but if this is the only disappoint that you are having right now, then I wish I was in your shoes.

Bebe, Thank-you for all your hard work putting this together :D I know that when everyone gets their due blocks and make those blocks come together they will have one specail quilt.

Still no Goshen Stars - they looked great in pictures, can't wait to see them.

I haven't received mine yet, but I have several projects that are keeping me busy. I would like my blocks to go to the people I made them for, even if they couldn't make mine on time. I loved the challenge of making them and I know a deadline is something I really need.

Thanks to all of those that held up their end of this swap. I too only recieved back 11 blocks. I have PM'd Barb with my address. Bebe I am sure that if we had been told about the missing blocks before we would not have been upset. This is copied from your original email.


7. If you have signed up for this swap, you are committing to making blocks for others. This is a 6 month commitment. This is not fair to the others who have worked really hard at complying If at the end you make no blocks you will not receive any. I will not extend the deadline we need to keep on track. No exceptions!!!! I do not want anyone disappointed in the end. Please, Please comply!!!!!!

Maybe next time you need to follow your own rules.




I really love the blocks that I recieved and hope that you all liked the ones that I sent.

i don,t think it,s about how many project we have before we recieve our blocks but the recpect for others don,t you agree nothing for me yet eigther but i was commited to swap ,i don,t know how many or any im going to be getting but thank you ladies for those of you who made blocks for me wish i could see them :(

I haven't gotten any blocks yet either....bebe were they all sent out last week?

I still haven't seen my blocks.......PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE THEY ARE

I know there are more than just you mgrhs and I feel sooooooooo bad for all of you.

BEBE- THEY NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!!!!!!!

In group 1, if you have not received your block from me, I will remake it for you and send it to you personally if you want. It may take me some time, but I will do it. Let me know. I posted all my blocks, so let me know if you liked it and I will try and duplicate it for you.

For group one (1) I will do the same as Beach Lady. Just PM me if you haven't received a block from me and I will get it redone and send it as fast as I can.

Same here for Group 1...wonder where Bebe is and why she isn't responding to the ones who are asking for information?

Send me a pm and I will be happy to do another block for whoever didn't receive one in Group 1.

Oh no! I did receive all my blocks but I was on vacation. I'll try to post a picture later. They are wonderful!

If you were in group 1 and did not receive your blocks, I will be more than happy to make you another one. Please PM me and like barb, it may take me a bit but I'd be more than happy to remake them. I may need to know the pattern and color scheme again too. I hate that it has turned out this way :cry: as I really had fun making all the blocks.

I'm so happy....I received my blocks in the mail today.


Thanks to everyone that did a block for me!!!!!!!!!

Yea!!!! Glad you finally got them!

I got mine today and they are awesome. Thank you everyone. I'll try to get a picture soon.

FINALLY got my blocks - they are lovely, ladies - THANKS!
