Would you provide some pointers on how to ship our blocks like type of envelopes or is it best to use a box - I am one of several new members and have not shipped any quilt blocks yet so I would appreciate your comments. Do you want us to put the pre-stamped container in the container we send to you with our blocks so you can return the exchange blocks back to us?

Tam...you need to label all your blocks with your name (boardname) using small pins or stickers..or something, then put all your blocks in some type of baggie and stick an address sticker on the bag in case something happens...then get a couple of envelopes...self address one of them for the return blocks. After the PO weighs your package..put the same amount of postage required on the self addressed envelope and stick it in the package..then mail them off!

BRT...I sent you the herd of 12

The post office has a priority envelope that would be ok for 24 blocks. Pick up a couple of them and address one with your name and address, add postage and put in the other envelope with the blocks. Address that one to blueribbontoes, add postage and mail it off! Simple. Each envelope will cost around $5 to mail.
:-D

Good Morning BRT: I am so glad I checked page 1 because Miss Gigglewings and her egg jars are not on your list. They are almost ready to mail tomorrow and I am ready to do another 12 blocks. Not egg jars, but farm themed. So please make sure I am included somewhere in your notes!

Thanks
Miss Gigglewings

Thanks for your help. I would not have thought about putting a label on the inside too - you have obviously been doing this for awhile. I am so excited to get my first set of blocks but before that can happen I better finish up mine so I can get them in the mail.

I didn't use to put a label on the inside, but we have had a couple of problems with the mail with the International Round Robin and if they hadn't had labels inside the packages..YIKES!!! They would have been lost! So it is very helpful.

Okay! Here is my goose! I am not sure what to do about his eye but other then that! The pattern I have calls for it to be an applique. Tell me what you think please.

Too cute. I love the background fabric - really looks he is surrounded by water.

That's darling!
On the horses I ended up using a permanent marker for the eyes. I'm not to happy with it but it's the best I could do.

These are so cute. No ideas for the eyes. I imagine you could embroider or sew little buttons on each.
