I understand that there may not be enough foreign FQ that I will get all foreign back. I feel certain that they will be nice so it does not matter. Thank you for all of the work that you are doing on this project.
((Doris)) I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. I also had a friend pass away during all of this. I keep wanting to call her up and tell her about this swap and other events of the day, but she's gone.

I am excited to see what is in all of those packages that Carole has accumilated. Thanks for all of your hard work.

WOW what a tease!! Look at all those goodies!! I wish I lived near you I'd help you eat all that wonderful looking fruit and help you open all those lovely pkgs............. From the looks of it, you must have a huge yard to harvest all that fruit!! It's too bad you can't freeze citrus. Thanks for everything youre doing. I would love fabric from japan, ireland, mexico, Hawaii,netherlands, Brazil, North America..South.. America...Europe... asia... ant..arctica ! Remember the song to remember the states? lol Showing my age.? Really Carole anything will be fine I trust your judgement to be fair with everyone. It is a big job... We love you for doing this!!

Thanks for the spreadsheet on people involved. Wow! What a task to go through all of these! You will have the fun of seeing all the different fqs! I will patiently (maybe - LOL!) wait for my box to come home. Thanks for the pics you posted. I agree - don't know if the fabric or the fruit intrigue me more. Looks great!

I received some more!!!!!! I met the mailman at the street and he just handed me the bin with the packages. He said "just take it and we can trade it tomorrow. I am sure there will be more".

leiladylei - 24 FQ's - WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe what ALL was in that box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You really went way over the top. I don't know how to thank you!!!! This really was like CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

Marne - 18 FQ's - The silks are gorgeous!!!! I know everyone will love them. Thank you very much!!

Laura Lickteig - 6 FQ's - I need your board name, please.

craborchardmama - I counted 19. Is that correct????

oldcatlady - 35 FQ's

I updated the spreadsheet and we have 204. These are the swappers from across the pond:

We have 29 from Australia
21 from Canada
4 from Ireland
2 from Netherlands
South Wales
Italy
Japan
4 from Scotland
London
England
Poland
New Zealand
3 from UK
2 from South America
Brazil
Duck Lake SK
3 from Germany
Sweden

Now, I have not counted how many FQ's are from each but as you can see I am hoping that everyone gets at least one from across the pond. Hopefully more.

I have tried not to pull the FQ's out of the packages except when I receive them. This is different from block swaps. They always get one of their own back so it is easier to keep track of who the blocks belong to. Since nobody is getting one of their own back and they are all different, I don't want to take the chance on mixing them up. This will be a challenge!!!! lol

We also have swappers here in the USA who have fabrics from across the pond that they got while over there or given to them by someone who was over there. That way, there is more that we swap from across the pond.

Now........ to wait for the rest to come in. In other swaps, I would pm swappers that had signed up for it to remind them. I am afraid that this one is a bit tooooooo big for me to do that. If I could blanket pm everone, that would help, but I think I can only send 5 or 6 at a time. I am afraid that with the new board design, they can't find us but hopefully they will be able to check in and get their FQ's in the mail!!

It looks like I have received 48 so far. I know that we ALL want our FQ's back home to us, but I really hate to loose out on the other 150 swappers. Let me look through my pm's and see if I can pm some of the ones that I don't have or haven't heard from. Let me know what you think. If you have any other ideas, please let me know. I will check back in here in the morning.

Blessings!
Carole

OK. I was able to post the spreadsheet without the table lines. For instance: 196 is walk-n-roll from Pennsylvania with 34 FQ's and I received them on 1/6. If I don't have your names on it, please let me know!!!! I wil add, add, add. The more the merrier!!
