I found the post. I already put all my charms in snack size biggies. Going to see what I can do with that. I'm thinking I will bring 2 envelopes to the post office and ask how much to send each.
If I do I will let you all know the results.

It's getting close to the start of the Birthday Candies Swap. What fun we will have.

If you haven't reached your 35 yet, may I join? This sounds like a wonderful thing to do and Lord knows I have plenty of 2.5" squares!

Hello Ladies

sorry I haven't been around this week. I thought I might miss out on the fun stomach flu that is going around...but no it found me right after I was getting over a cold! Sicker then a dog for 3 days. Still can't eat....that might be a good thing could lose a few (many) pounds. But no food just means no energy! So today I am "catching up" on life! Slowly!

First of all I would like to welcome everyone to "round 2" of the birthday swap. Last years swap was fun, we met new people, learned different things that happened in their lives, saw pictures of projects they made while building friendships. Some of us lost loved ones, and pets, while other welcomed grandchildren and in-laws. What a year!!! I hope that this year we will continue the tradition of family. We are all one big family sharing and learning with one thing in common... the love of quilting.

Last year I would do questionnaires ....you would all fill them out...then I would do a contest....Plan on that again this year! Hope you like the contests!!!

This year I am going to have a contest on the DAY AFTER A BIRTHDAY.

March and April are ready to go. Is is okay to send and extra gift with the squares, since it is their Birthday and it's a special day?

I've got my first four ready to mail when the time comes, to the first four 'birthday girls'. I'm so excited about this! I found that if I got some big birthday cards I could lay out the squares into two rows of 25 in the card, and it stayed pretty flat-- under 1/4" I think. So hoping I can mail it as a letter.

Has anyone made a Disappearing 16 patch quilt with these little squares? I found lots of good ideas for the D16P blocks on this blog:
