Mine are all cut and ready to go to the post office in the morning. I chose my favorites. :P

Hi - I got my sent in today. I think the ones I picked out would be festive - if not they are beautiful. I had soo much fun - going to the quilt shops and Joannes looking. I found two of them at quilt shops and one at JOAnns. I went to three quilt shops for the first time. You can never go into a quilt store without buying. I'm sure someplace that the rule.
I hope you will love them too! I had to send mine in a Tyvek mailer - costed $5.05 - the post office was out of large flat rate envelopes, and the three packs fitted so nice in that mailer. |
Hey Yall!
I got mine off this morning. I wanted a Tyvek but I wanted something sturdier that wouldn't bend so easy. I got a .99 10 x 12 mailer. Perfect fit for two sets and the return mailer. I was going to do cash for return postage but she highly advised against it, so she put three different stamps on it equaling I think it was $2.97 plus the .80 for delivery conformation. I printed my address labels but put the wide packing tape over it to keep dry in case of rain. You know, I didn't even know they made $1.00 postage stamps! Ya learn something every day! I even remembered to staple my samples to the bags! :mrgreen: OH I'm so tickled! I can't wait to get the others in December!! Linda your the greatest for doing this, it has to be a headache in all but be proud of yourself, this is a good thing you do! Oh I let my mother see them before I mailed them, she thought they were very pretty and had a lot of fall coloring in them. Cool! One is called Mullberry, the other is Rust. Thats all I'm saying, I've already said to much!! :shock: :thumbup: |

I didn't read or at least pay attention to the posting so many notes but all I seen was being on here for the first two weeks as a new member, after that you get the title of A Regular Here. Outside of "MOM" thats the best title I've had in a long time! HA! :thumbup:

I found or I'll say have been going to a sight that has LOADS & OODLES of patterns. I found one that is great for Batiks. I may use that one for my blocks I get in Dec.
http://www.quilterscache.com/QuiltBlocksGalore.html it's the....Batik Bedazzler ... 7" Paper Piecing! If you go to the block where it gives you sizes of blocks you'd like to do, go to the 7". Look for Batik Bedazzler. I think it's pretty and an endless variety of colors to use. (The sight is run by Marcia Hohn Quilter's Cache. I had to say all of that for sake of her copyrights, only fair....) I would send a picture but again not sure about the copyright thing. It's not really a site like what we have here but it's still great. If you are on the main page there are other links but this is the main one with all the patterns. Hope you enjoy! |

pretty.. |
Those are all great patterns. I think I like the last one the best though. I don't have any idea what I'll end up making. I guess I need to see what I get back first.

Posted mine today. I had added tape to the sides in hopes that it wouldn't get ripped open. I was told at the P.O. that I wasn't supposed to add any tape. Package was supposed to be no more than 3/4" thick and should be able to be closed with the adhesive strip only(hence the flat rate). It's on it's way, but the lady said they would probably be cracking down before long. She didn't add any tape to the closure but put a couple of fragile stickers on it ??? hope it arrives safely!

I got told about the tape on an envelope I sent to another gal here on the board and that I'd probably get the envelope back (but I didn't). It arrived in 3 days. |
When I sent my package for Luv's "I Spy" swap, the other clerk at the same P.O. put additional tape on the envelope for me, at his recommendation. C'est la vie! You win some, you lose some! Everyone's doing their job.
|
Mine was supposed to be there today, but for some reason it is in Kansas City still?????
|
Mine should have been there by today at the latest. I sent it Priority on Tuesday.
