Oma Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 All the fabric has been mailed back now and I'm early...Yay! Meg, Vickie and Linda Rech should get theirs today. Everyone else will be getting theirs either Wed. or Thursday except for the one who lives in Lakewood, WA (Pat I think without walking upstairs to look at the address) who will get hers on Sat. The two Canadian swappers, Terry and Barbara C, I don't know for sure when you'll get yours because it doesn't let me track it. Terry's went out Friday and Barbara's went today. Bonnie if you get your address to me I'll send yours out today also. Sorry I threw away that box. My husband is quick to dismantle and discard boxes. Which is probably pretty good because I seem to amass a lot of boxes...lol. This actually went pretty well. I didn't realize there would be 400 FQs, but I probably should have. I'm almost 100% sure I got them all right...lol. I must have counted them all a dozen times apiece just to make sure. That was the only real hard part of all this was the worrying that I was getting it done right. I truly appreciate all the people who sent addressed envelopes and postage. That was such a help. The post office even commented on how efficient it all went. I must live in a small town huh? Anyway, it was fun and I hope everyone is pleased with their fabrics. Now start sewing so I can see what happened to all of it. Thanks again for being a great group of swappers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I love you, Oma! I'll be watching for mine today and post when it's here. I have background squares cut for the wedding quilt and I'm ready to wallow in some pretty Asian fabrics! Thanks for hosting this swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Linda, your tracking says it's "out for delivery"...yay! You have two more FQ's coming also. Those will probably be Wed or Thurs. I'm excited for everyone. I've loved "wallowing" in all that pretty fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 My FQs are here! They're all gorgeous! I'm like Scrooge McDuck diving into the money vault---only it's a fabric vault! Many thanks to Oma for hosting the swap, and thanks to the swappers for finding such pretty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 My FQs have arrived safely. I can't wait to get my hands on them. I wasn't sure if I'd be south or north when they were mailed, so I picked north. Of course, I'm south. The hubz just facetimed me so I could see.... They are beautiful! Thanks, Oma, for all your hard work on this. I'm hoping to get out all my Asian fabrics and destash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamache Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Oma, My squishy package arrived today!! Pretty fabrics!!

Beachside Quilter Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Squishy arrived today! It's just bursting with gorgeous FQ's! Thanks so much to all who participated and to fabulous Oma for hosting and organizing!! Sent you a PM, Oma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMALKB Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 My squishy package arrived today !!!! Yayyyy. Now to come up with a pattern...........Thank you Oma...........that must have been quite a challenge. I'm glad I included a plastic bag inside my mailing envelope, as the corner of the manilla evelope was wet. We are in the midst of a Winter Storm and I think some snow leaked into the mailbox!

Oma Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Linda, I put all the fabric into plastic bags just for that reason. Glad to hear yours came through in good condition and you like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatSchafer Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I was clearing my sewing room to spread out my Japanese fabric expecting it Saturday and it arrived yesterday. What a surprise!. It's gorgeous.I can't wait to start designing something really special. Thanks so much Oma. You spread "happy smiles" all over the country.

Oma Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 It's amazing how fast everyone is getting their packages. I sprinkled fairy dust on them and the Post Office said they'd take good care of them. I guess it all worked. I'm ready to see a slew of Asian quilts now.

Bonnie H Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Mine are here! I WAS on vacation this week but got a call an hour ago and my vacation time is over it seems. Poop!! I thought I'd have time to play but at least I can unfold and pet my pretties! Thanks to Oma and Corey for hosting, and thanks to all who participated!! I have quite a little stash here.

love2qlt4u Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Oma, have you sent mine out yet. I still haven't received them. Thanks, Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Barbara, it was mailed out on 2/23/15 with all the others. The Postman did say something about one of them having weird postage on it, but I don't know if it was yours or not. Anyway, I just checked the tracking number and it shows it left here on the 23rd and arrived back here on the 25th. I'll have to go check at the post office to see what happened. I'll PM you the tracking number too. Very strange and I'm sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oma Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Barbara, according to the Post Office supervisor yours had some weird sticker on it and it has been sent out and came back here two times already and she has everyone watching for it now so if it comes back we will correct whatever is wrong and get it sent on or you might even get it this time. The supervisor is very apologetic about it all, but someone needs to stop the package so we can fix it. I'm sorry this has happened to your fabric. I could send you my fabrics and when/if yours arrives to you then you can mail them to me. I was in all four groups so I have mine still separated into groups.
