Hey Carman, count me in for the blue and white. Mine might be stretching it a bit, but I got it in Ohio last year at a cool quiltshop and forgot about it, can you believe that?  Anyways, I think everyone will still like it, so YES for me!!

Hi Lyn, first of all I apologize if a partial post appears here, I am still in sick mode, and may have hit a wrong key. Thanks for the great blue fabric. I HAD planned to get mine mailed today, but the fabric still sits in the bag, so hopefully I will be able to get them mailed by midweek....thanks all for being patient...

I too got mine several days ago but failed to post. Thank you so much for it. It is lovely. I have been working madly on helping my sis-in-law hand quilt a quilt for her gd who got married today. We did get it off the frame Wed. and I have been trying to catch up on everything that I have let go. Birdcages were a must!!! I have my fabric but haven't got it processed. Hopefully it will go out Mon. Greetings to all of you.

What fun at the mailbox yesterday! Received my fabrics form Pat, Shari, Debby & Peggy! All great fabrics. Thinking about making a jacket out of the blues, would be so much fun. Debby, I think those are raindrops too! So cute. Great thing is, I've only gotten one fabric that I have seen in the stores here so all the rest is new to me! Hoping today is as much fun. Lyn

| Just a heads up ladies - be sure you're putting enough postage on these babies. They usually take 60 cents within the US - sometimes you can get away with only 37 cents but ONLY if it's thin enough (really depends on how it's folded). I've received two in the mail for this swap with postage due that I've had to give to the mailman before he'd give me the envelope!! |

I hope that my parcels have the right amount of coin on them.. I do get them weighed in at the post office and purchase the number of 60 cents stamps... I have never received a FQ with a 37 cent stamp on them... Please let me know if you ever had to pay for the parcel I send out. thanks and huggs Karen Karen

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have received my FQ from Lyn, Summer, Shari, Pat, Gina, Peggy, Debby, and Karen. Sounds like Lisa's will be here momentarily! They are all so beautiful and I want to make an Ocean Waves quilt with blues and purples. These will all be so fun. I got mine in the mail yesterday so they should be showing up in your boxes any day. Hey, I'm not always the tail end. Hope you like mine as well as I like all the ones I have received. What fun!
