I'm in on a new change date. I'll commit to two sets to start with. (I just had so much going on that I needed to finish first.) I really want in on this swap. Thanks for compromising on the "Must be to me by " date.

Sorry I have not gotten back with you til now. I lost my job the first part of November and was swamped with looking for a new job, Thanksgiving and other commitments.

I would like to sign up for 2 sets. The extra two weeks was a deciding factor

Awesome and welcome. Glad the two weeks helped. Sorry to hear you lost your job though. I do hope you found another one and things are settling down there. I put you down for the 2 sets.

I start my new job on Tuesday!! Yay, I can breathe now.

Pick out one of the block patterns today while at the VA Eye Clinic with my dad. Gonna look through some patterns/books this evening for the second.

I have several things going on this month. BOM, dolls clothes for my neice, no sew blanket for DS girlfriend and a mystery lap quilt.

Awesome cant wait to see what you come up with. I happy you found a job too !

I know what you mean I have been extremely busy myself. I also have a few block ideas just haven't had time to work on them. I made 7 tie blankets and have a few more to go. Then going to sew a few. I just made two scarf's tonight with the red heart swerve yarn. It's really cool.

If you will do the postage on-line, you'll save between 30 - 50 cents plus delivery confirmation is free. I rarely buy postage at the Post Office any more -- doing it on-line is both easier and cheaper. If you do go to the Post Office, consider sending them by First Class Parcel -- you'll save about $1.50.

Ok didn't know all that. I never did postage on line always went to the post office. It's just a few blocks away but will look into . Thank you for the info.

OK. I got all my manuals out for my embroidery machine. Set up the computer, the disc thingy and the module that goes with it. But I spent all day trying to figure it out. Tried to get the tutorial to work and that wasn't going. Tried to look at the installation...that loaded but then I got some other kind of error. I am sure that it is not this hard to do. Now I can't find that hoop that goes with it. I can see it in my mind's eye but can't place where I saw it. So I have quit for the day. Tomorrow I will start again and see what happens.
