We are growing!

Ladies, a reminder to cut carefully! Your squares must measure 5" x 5"... not almost 5" x 5". It would not be fair to those who sent full cuts to send them short cuts in return, so be sure your squares measure up! I don't want to have to return anyone's squares to them, unswapped.

Likewise, fussy cut when called for! If I can't tell what a square is supposed to be showing, it can't be used in an I Spy quilt. Center those objects, just like you would like yours to be. (I'm checking!)

Looking forward to a good swap where everyone is happy with what they get back!

Received from Pennycandy today... OMG y'all, she sent Wishnik fabric!
Pennycandy, did you use a Go cutter? Your cuts all look beautiful.

We have slid past our cut-off date, mostly because I was hoping for another swapper or two to join in. That's what we need to avoid having any duplicates in our sets. We actually are fine on the regular sets, but I need a few more twist sets to avoid having to send back duplicates. We are really close-- it wouldn't be many repeats, if any... I'd like to hear from you all if you want me to close the sign ups now and stick to the original due date so I can swap and mail by the original date, which is April 25? What say you?

There are still 6 packages I have not received. If you haven't mailed yet, please get your cutting done asap and get that package mailed! The due date is still April 21... unless we extend it. April 21 is less than a week away so please mail your packages (by Priority).

Also, please know that those paper (thin cardboard) flat rate envelopes usually arrive torn-- sometimes badly. They are flimsy so if you use one, cover it with package tape to help it hold together. The bubble mailers are much better (only $.35 more...) but you have to order them online from the P.O. Your local P.O. may not have them.

Can't wait to get the squares all swapped and out to you!

Quilting Dragon, Library.Lil, Fiestypixie, MommyPainter, and sew_busy...
Have you mailed your packages yet?

Mommiepainter

My package is showing out for delivery so should be in your mail box today. I used the priority envelope but will order the bubble ones for next time. ��

sewbizgirl

Yes! Yours and Library.Lil's packages came today.

I have heard from fruitmama that hers has been mailed. Only waiting for Quiltingdragon, Fiestypixie and sew_busy to let me know if their packages have been mailed.

I think we will consider this swap closed now and I will expect all packages in hand by the 21st (NEXT TUESDAY!). I will swap them as soon as all come in. Can't wait! The prints are so cute! We should only have a repeat if more than one person sent in the same fabric.

pennycandy

Sorry about the cardboard envelope. I was disappointed when the postal worker told me that I needed to order the bubble mailer online. My squares are cut with a rotary cutter, I tend to be a bit obsessive when I measure.

Mine went in the mail today-just didn't get a chance to post before now. It was a hectic day. Should get there by the deadline. Will send a pm with the tracking info tonight.
