meg Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi... I haven't time right now to read every post, but thought you might like to tell us how you would like the FQs folded? I think it will save you lots of time if they are all the same. No refolding for you. Just dealing them into piles. Forgive me if this has been addressed, I'm trying to get my act together for my migration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Meg, I don't know about folding...anybody have any ideas and why? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMALKB Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 How about the way they are usually folded in the quilt shops? Fold over long edge to long edge.........then again........then fold in the sides to make a rectangle about 5" x 6" . Does that make sense to everyone? It is a compact little bundle and would be easy to pack into a box or envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Sounds great! Exactly what I would e suggested. LQS FQs it is! Perhaps you should add this to the first instructional post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatSchafer Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'll like to send two sets. I got the fabric over Christmas. It was a great excuse to browse through Shiburi's. Pat Schafer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Ok Pat, I took me off group 2 and put you in. I have you down for two groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Oma, if for any reason you have a drop out I would love to be added to your wait list if you have one going.. If not I will enjoy looking at everyone's fabrics as they post and join next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Conquest Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Oma, somehow I missed this thread when it started; a death in the family and illness over the holiday might have something to do with that. Is it too late to join? I think the rules are clear and I can mail off my fabric before week's end, so no problems there. However, I live in Alberta and you've stated mailing costs to Canada can be prohibitive, and, of course I can't send you return postage in the form of stamps. I do have some American cash lying around, so if I have an idea of the amount I can send that. Even though sending cash through the mail isn't recommended I'm willing to take the chance. Possible?? If not, I'll survive! Look forward to hearing from you. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Barbara C. and Bekah, I need to talk to Corey. If she is willing to drop out of one of the groups I will drop out of one and that will make a spot for you two. Barbara, I am working with Terry from Canada and I'm 99% sure I can get her two groups of fabric (20 FQ) in a package that costs less than $20 to mail to her. I am willing to work with you too so the Canadian girls can have fun with us. I never thought about how someone from Canada was going to add return postage...lol. I'm leery about sending cash in the mail too, but I can take a money order, check and I do have a PayPal account. So tentatively you are in the group three. I will change the previous list and I will contact Corey. Everyone double check me to make sure I haven't added you too many times or left you out.

Oma Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I was wrong. I made a mistake. I didn't add a couple of people to two lists. Now we have four groups, but we need three more people I think. I'm sure we can do that. Corey and Bonnie that puts you in three groups. If I read previous posts right that is ok? Let me know. Be sure to check this list and make sure I don't have you listed too many times or not at all. It's late and I'm tired.

Corey Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi Oma, You are so kind, go ahead, give my 2nd spot to Barbara Conquest. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi Corey, I gave her your third spot so now you and I have two spots. Please look over the list and see if you see anything I missed. It's been pretty busy here. I think we are ok and set for the swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Oma, I just want to make sure that I'm not in three groups? Sunday I was in three groups but today I'm in two. It's no problem either way but my third group of fabric is due to arrive today and I don't want to cut it into FQs if I don't need to. If I'm in two, I will mail mine off tomorrow as it's all ready to go. Thanks, Oma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 You're in two Bonnie. I was trying to multi-task too much I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMALKB Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Oma, my fabric is on it's way to me and as soon as I receive it, I will get it ready to send to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Conquest Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks so much, Oma and Corey -- very kind of both of you to accommodate a latecomer. Money orders and cheques are both a bit iffy. We pay exchange (of course), but also there's a fairly stiff service fee. So if you're OK with Paypal, I am. I've used it before. Again, thanks. You've brightened an otherwise dull (and cold) day! Barbara Conquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2qlt4u Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Oma, I thought I was in 2 groups, now I only see me in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Conquest Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Sent my fabric off today. FYI the postage from here (Alberta) to California was $10.66 CDN, small package rate. If I'd paid $7 more I could have had a tracking number. I didn't. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliss Quilter Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Oma, I hate to add to your gracious efforts here, but due to uncontrollable circumstances I am going to have to withdraw from this swap. I am in Group 1. In reading this string I think you will be able to fill the spot quickly (sorry ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Row Studio Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Oma I was looking at the guide lines you had in the first post and saw you are sending back one of our own FQ's from the group of 10 if your groups had 11 people in it we would get 10 different FQ's . As a true fabric hoarder I bought extra of the fabric i sent for my FQ's so don't need any back of my own. That being said what-ever works out for this swap is fine with me. May be something to keep in mind for future swaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Can anyone tell me what size box or envelop to buy to fit these into? I'd hate to have to purchase several just to find the right size. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
