Looks like we may have hit 30????? Glad I have been cutting for 35. I have 43 colors cut.....just dug out 4 more so...I am really really close to being ready to wrap, envelope and wait for the list for March. I'm sure Barb will let us know real soon if we can be patient for just a little longer.

After some consideration I will withdraw my request to participate in this swap. For me, the time and money I spend to participate in swaps is all about fun for me. When it ceases to be that, I see no reason to continue the pursuit. I wish you all a bang up time for this coming swap year.
Hi Barb. Hi gang. I do want to participate this year. Sending PM today. I participated in the birthday swap in 2014. My how time passes. Since I am cutting through plenty of fabrics currently, I will cut for this swap also... 35 packages of 50 charms. I look forward to participating and exchanging charms with everyone.
As an FYI, most of my fabrics are modern prints in lots of saturated colors plus some low volume and gray prints. There will be some other charms thrown in the mix (maybe solids, tonals) but I am basically modern and I love all colors.
This year I proclaimed that I am going to sew from my stash but.... for some reason I keep adding to the stash. Does that count towards my proclamation to sew from my stash? I mean once this new fabric is added to the other fabrics, doesn't it become stash?
But I have been cost conscience about my added purchases, $1.00 FQ sales and remnant purchases at my LQS.
Anyhow looking for a year of fun giving and receiving.

Looks like we have quite a few new comers. Ladies, You will enjoy it here. I didn't chat a lot last year, due to a close family member had cancer. I am still not home yet, but will be chatting a lot more. Now I just take care of the bills and watch the house. I guess you would say I am a mediator. I deal with the past due bills and current. That's okay.
I hear tell that there is a big warehouse in Canada. That will be my next adventure for next week.
Have fun ladies.

Barb, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate this swap and all the folks who participate in it. It's easy, fun, and so very well run. Kudos. Thank you for everything you do. FYI, my birthday is coming up and almost all of my candy packages have arrived from the swap that's ending and there are still a couple of weeks left. How wonderful it is to have such excellent participation!
