ffq-lar Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Woooohooo! Two more in today's mail. The fabrics from Carol and Terry are playing nicely with the rest. Four more--I have heard from two of them and fabric is on the way. Three days to deadline, fellow "strippers"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Pam's package arrived today! We are now at 15 participants. I have a feeling the other three are not able to honor their good intentions for whatever reason. I haven't heard from them, so.... I am going to add another (different) batch of bundles myself so I can have a full batch for a special friend. I will be sorting this weekend and the packages will go out on Monday!! Everyone will get the full 16 bundles from the swappers, and two bundles of their own back (instead of just one). This was great fun!! Let me know when everyone is ready for another swap. Post pics of course of your creation from the swap strips. I am looking for a Christmas tree skirt pattern! I bet I will have enough fabric for that.

witha'K'quilting Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Linda...I can send another batch if you want to bring the total to 17. Let me know. I can go shopping today and mail them on Monday. I have a friend who would probably love to have Christmas strips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I have a bunch of Christmas fabric pieces (from last year's swap) I could make another batch that would assorted fabrics, rather than all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Hi Kristina--I will make the executive decision here and say--YES! That is a great idea and thank you. Send the strips and I am sure the gang will wait another 5 days or so for their packages. I will get everything ready so when they get here I will send out right away. I would have replied earlier but they made me work 8 hours today at the day job! Don't they know I have important things to do!!?? Kristina--I will email you as well so you can plan the shopping trip. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I am getting the packages ready and will send out as soon as your "patriotic" arrives. Thanks so much, Kristina! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Does my second batch make 18 then?? I just realized I did not send another SASE for the return strips. You can combine them in my first envelope and let me know how much I owe you for the additional postage. Sorry Linda...I wasn't thinking when I mailed them.

ffq-lar Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hi Kristina. Your extra batch and mine make 17 total. That means everyone will get back two of their own bundles. I found a pattern and know what I will do with mine. Now to find some piecing time before Christmas! Kristina--don't worry about the postage. I will see if I can get both batches in one flat rate box. I will let you know when the package arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Christmas is coming!! Kristina's second package arrived on Tuesday, I arranged and sorted yesterday, and the packages are on the way!!! We actually did have all eighteen swappers with one late arrival, after Kristina and myself added an extra batch each. The two being sent to Canada will go out tomorrow. And Holly--the clerk at the PO didn't like your address (?!) and rejected it. I brought it home and double checked--yep, it was OK so I will try again tomorrow. Also--Cathy, you sent too much for the return postage so I tucked a bit of cash in the package. The fabrics are great--a wonderful variety with lights and darks, brights and country, modern and traditional. We will have lots of fun and please post any finished projects. Thanks to all for the thoughtful add-ons--I received several patterns, a great wrist pincushion with accompanying pattern, some fat quarters, a note pad, and lots of notes with warm wishes. Let me know when you are ready for another swap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 The two swappers from Canada can expect their blocks in 6 to 10 days. The rest--priority mail in 2 to 4 days--watch the mailbox! Let me know if you haven't received them in a reasonable time. Thanks for swapping!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Mine came today too (and so did my crosshatching rulers!). I love, love, love all the different fabrics! Now I need to get out my jelly roll quilts book to find a good pattern for them. Thanks again, Linda, for hosting. And thanks everyone for the great variety of Christmas fabric.

chickenscratch Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Wow! What a variety of colors and patterns. I have NO idea what to do with them. I guess I will stack them up with last year's Christmas blocks and wait for time to create something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witha'K'quilting Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Went to Yellowstone NP this weekend and got back last night to a fantastic bundle of strips sitting in my mailbox. I love them. WOW. Now I don't have a clue what to do with them. Going to have to search for just the right pattern. Thanks Linda for a great swap. You are terrific.

bonbon Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I got mine yesterday!! love them! Thank you everyone. I wish I had thought to put my name on the ones I sent. I appreciate others who did. It's fun to see where they came from. Sign me up for the next swap and for sure I'll label mine too. Now I need ideas for what to do with them!
