    We use USPS. Don't make it a big deal and don't claim a ton of value. Sadly they get charged if you insure.

    Wyldwytch,
    The 2012 swap is closed and complete. I am still ambivalent about doing it again. I have about 3 weeks to decide. (December used to feel SO far away.) Right now, this moment, I have a horrendous head cold, so I am not allowing myself to make ANY decisions. ;-)

    Beth, you are amazing. 99/120 = 82.5% complete. AMAZING. (but that's still 21 to go in six weeks during holiday season... yikes!)

    Is it possible your space is now being taken over by COMPLETED UFOs?

    Not a problem Jillaine, totally understandable. When you do decide just keep me in mind since I am really interested.

    Thanks...

    I wish that was the case, but those are over taking behind the loveseat in the living room which I am going to have to rearrange soon for Christmas. Yikes there. I think it is because the leftovers are stacking up inside the cupboards thinking they need to be UFOs on me. My little avatar is on guard and they will not come back I am sure. Learning to just put leftovers in the fabric pile instead of ufo piles. I think once I get these last ones done then I will be ok. I am finishing up three Thanksgiving runners that I have had for a couple of years. I finished the tops, not real fancy, but finished and they are on the longarm. Going to give them away to family this weekend. And yep, 21 more to go and I am going to do it. I just have to so I do not disappoint myself. Then News Year Eve, I can really celebrate the end of a wonderful year of completion and then onto next years goal, scrapbooks put in order. That will be an interesting one for sure. Also, will be working on just show type quilts from the remaining UFOs that I have still. Thre are some of these projects that take an intense amount of time that needs full attention to detail. Would love to win another ribbon next year.

    Ok everyone, mailing out Caroline's quilt today. Finally. never thought I would get it out the door. It is going Express Mail because I spent the extra $15 to be sure would get there a bit earlier than 15 days. Here is the tracking number. Everyone pray it goes like it is supposed to.

    Express Mail International Flat Rate Box #EC

    Wow! I really like the quilting. I can't wait to see the front. Caroline will love it! Thank you Beth and everyone that helped this labor of love happen.
