I may be wrong and speaking WAY out of turn, but wasn't the mail date BEFORE the tornados in the mid west? I am guilty of mailing on the last day because "life got in the way" but I did get it out by the deadline. My package arrived to me in a timely manner, was an awesome package, and I am most appreciative, but I am sitting out June, not gonna follow the thread, because I am offended for those still on the bench. I know many will say/think that I have my nerve and that's okay, we all have opinions. I will miss this swap and am probably punishing myself, but at least I won't get "worked up" over irresponsibility in June. That being said, you guys have fun in June, I know I'll be sorry and miss you, but this is the right choice for me.

To help people get over being upset let me tell you this,
Jennalyn=sp mailed 5-27
quiltyfeelings=sp mailed 5-23
pennyj123=sp mailed 5-19
nurse bonnie not home to know if package there or not
LoriEl=sp mailed 5-31 with good reasons for being late
3NorwichTerr= not home to know if package there or not
wandalou's sp good reason for late package
that leaves 2 who have not answered my repeated pms as to if they have received their package or not, their sp told me they were mailed. That takes care of 157 people.

I agree with everyone says about late senders and still feel remorseful that the lovely JHolmes had to wait so long for my squishy. Thankfully, Royal Mail and US post pulled the stops out and got it there in 12 days.
Poor Cannyquilter (Eileen) sent hers from here, but the other end and side of the country, in a very timely manner and arrived only days before mine did. The mail can be very much at fault too.
However, as promised when I owned up to being a late sender offender is a photo of the reason why I was late. A lovely friend and ex-colleague in her wedding dress - altered by moi. She bought it a long time ago and now it was only 2 sizes too small and 3" too long.

Tussy, you did an awesome job on that wedding gown, I can't see where any alterations had been done (especially not 2 sizes :thumbup: ) and I looked for them :lol: :lol:
