Sent my package out this evening, Sheri. You should have it by the weekend. Thanks for hosting another fun swap!

I'm bad about not going to bed when I'm tired... Fighting it instead. Then I pay for it the whole next day, LOL.

Glad you liked my Swoon. Thinking about doing another one....

This is a good idea. I have been cutting up all scraps into 2 3/8" squares for pinwheels but my pinwheel box won't close and it's time to do something different. 2.5" strips saved is a very good idea, thanks!

We do, don't we!!! And yes. Plenty of swappers now so no duplicates. That makes me very happy.

Welcome to the new swappers, and welcome back to some too. Just a reminder to be careful of your cutting, that we have true 2.5" squares. Also careful that your sets each have 50 DIFFERENT cotton PER set and 10 DIFFERENT batik per batik set. We had a small problem last swap so I'm just giving a gentle reminder.

Now... I'll be away all next week. I'll extend sign up until the 18th but all sets are still due by the 31st. I'm hoping for a quick turn around this time. (Fingers crossed

)

I'm aiming for a different part of my closet so I can make sure I don't send anything I sent two swaps ago!!! I'm always sure you get at least 50 different fabrics at one swap - and I've also kept a stack of mine at home that I send you ~ in most cases.... I usually get 16-17 candies out of 1 - WOF, but there are some fabrics that don't quite make that extra. Thinking about making a snip-it (is that what you call it??) sheet organized by color for the 'what I've sent'

Just how many different fabrics do we quilters own???? ....ahem.... that's scarey!! 10 swaps worth would be 500!!
