MODAS, but not the flowerey ones :bluewink: is the theme for this month, you must e-mail me your address to <email address removed for privacy> if i do not have it already, and if the e-mail is different from where you are sending make sure i get that too, as i will be using that e-mail to do the forwarding.

this is decentralized, so i will be sending you the names and you will be sending fat q's in 100% cotton that are approx. 18 X 22 to all those on the list.

i will be sending the list out to all involved by the 4th of September with mailing date no later than the last week of the month

e-mail me if you have any questions at <email address removed for privacy>

Count me in for the Sept swap. I've heard of a new quilt shop I need a reason to check out and the Labor Day weekend is a good time to do it.

I need a break.

Unfortunately, I wanted to join in this month, but i can't. I'm still recovering from surgery and just found out about another issue I have to deal with.

Hope to be back at my machines soon!

Have fun everyone.

Where did the time go... all of a sudden it was September!!!! I wanted to let my fellow swappers know that I cannot do this month either.

I wanted to think that I was just on the hind end of the new month when in fact I am way behind from the last month!!!

I will look to see what we will be trading in October to join in on my favorite little past time. "swapping":smile:

((Major hugs!! I hope you get to feeling better very soon and that whatever issues you have, that they are resolved quickly.))

Looks like I have a new obsession starting up! Fat Quarters! LOL.... I think I signed up for September, but I don't remember. Should I re-send my info?

Lyn, my package got to you even faster. I'm amazed!Remember the signature & Christmas block swap. It seemed like it took weeks to get to :Canada: after Brenda mailed them.

Must be due to the size and weight of the pack.

I think I'm the tail end of this swap, ladies. I promised them out already but we had a bout of stomach flu invade our home and now that everyone's had it, I'm finally getting back on my feet and getting things out....

It's all ready, packaged, washed..... and going out today. I apologize for the delay......

You know, I have found it's best never to say "What else can happen?" Cuz something will. Obviously things will happen.

I sprained my ankle...severely. I am just now able to get back on it, but slowly. I was supposed to have mailed these off last week......

My humblest apologies for letting everyone down and I promise not to let this happen again if at all possible.

So, please still expect to find your Sept FQ in the mail..... late.

Julie, just wondering if your FQ's got out on the 25th? I haven't seen it yet. Something to look forward to but then I start worrying about the post office losing stuff!
