Okay, this is my first swap, and I have to say that it is TORTURE to wait and let Jaba see her block I made! I sealed the envelope up so I wouldn't take it out and look at it. lol. I keep looking at pictures of it on my phone, though!

No squishies today. :( I think my husband is as excited as I am about getting them.

So how come it isn't in your album? The rest of us can peek lololol

In theory the post office should be able to get it to me if you've put the house number and post code, and presumably will get to the post office as long as you've put the country.
It should still get to me without having 'Birmingham'.
I'll let you know when it arrives.

I also received your F8 paperpieceme and I have completed your block and will mail it tomorrow.

Should I? I feel like that is just taunting jaba. Lol

WOW, I haven't gotten anything out or in as yet??

Taunt away. They can look if they want. LOL.
Well I am a diehard football fan and will be watching the game. I love the comercials. They have one that I saw a preview of that is one of those where the people are in a group in a public place and start singing and dancing. They are at Conn. New Haven Train Station and it is a Cancer survivor commercial. It is so awesome...brought tears to my eyes. I would vote for that to be number 1 commercial. Anyways I will be working on hand quilting my own quilt as I watch the game. Go Ravens.

I don't care if you put it in your album, I always look and get a peek at what's coming :eek: It's always better when it arrives and then I'll post a pic. Buddy'smom bet you'll get some tomorrow, I sent mine the 1st day as well as some others, so they are getting close. Sewed 4 yesterday and more today so will give an update later on who's is coming home.

I've had a few ongoing issues with it since I purchased it :( It's a Babylock Serenade. Mostly little stuff til last weekend when it had a mind of it's own. So, decided now is the time to make them take a deeper look. Sad, I'm really feeling lost. My only other machine is a vintage that needs new wiring. I think I have a friend that will let me borrow her spare if I'm in desperate need.

Hi ladies, I'm popping in from Pacific & Southern. If anyone is interested in a side swap, will you please PM me? :) Kelly

I rec'd F8's from jaba and urgodschild2. Both are very pretty. My F8's will be in the mail the first part of next week. - - - - Jane

Yes, missy t...make them dig! I had a Pfaff I kept having trouble with and every time I took it in they couldn't find anything. On the fourth time in, they broken it down right in front of me and then they find it. The whole idt mechanism had come apart, and the screw was laying on the mother board just waiting to short the whole thing out, and I didn't' have a problem? I sold it! I did however, buy a new 4.0. Well, I say new but it was owned by a lady that brought it in before the year was up, and traded up to the Creative Vision. I got all the new machine warranty for 5 years...
Sooooo make them stay with it and fix it right. We sure pay enough for our machines. You'll be back to sewing before long.

Notice of address change for me:

Jane (you have my last name)
1979 N. Lincoln Ave., #12
Orange, CA 92865

I'll also notify April

Jane

Will you still get your F8? I sent yours out Sat.

Got the addy change. Thank you. Glad that you already got mine neighbor. We live near one another.

Yes, urgodschild2, I rec'd your F8. I meant to mention that the new address is effective March 1, 2013, so if fellow Atlantic groupies haven't sent out their F8 to me, plz use my current address on VanOwen. I'm not happy about having to switch thingsaround like this in the midst of a swap, but, hey, life happens and, well - - - life happens. lol

Yes, we're neighbors. In fact, my daughter, who is 23 and I spent Sat at downtown Disney and she wants to go to Disneyland for her birthday in March. Go figure - - -

Jane

Got lovingizabella and tiambing out in the mail today. I have all mine sent :). Now the real fun begins.

I can't wait to get home and see if there are any squishies waiting on me!

Yea!!I got a squishie from urgodscild2 today. 3 down and 13 more to come. :D

I received F8 from paperpieceme and urgodschild2. Love both your fabrics. I am looking forward to playing with them!

I got a squishiy from Frenchfryqueen today

I received F8's from, Jaba,paperpieceme, & urgoddschild. Will get blocks done asap.

I got 2! I got 2!

1 from urgodschild and another 1 from paperpieceme.

Now I just need my machine :mad: (hopefully these 2 weeks will pass quickly)

I received 2 squishes in the mail today, one from Amber and the other from Barb in Buena Park. Thanks girls, I am still cutting fabric. You will get them later this week. My daughter is in the hospital on bed rest, her water broke, sort of on Sat. Night early morning and she went Straight to the hospital. She is there on bed rest with iv's to put in fluids to replace the water as it continues to leak. Shots of steroid to grow baby boys lungs, he is way to early. Was not due until the middle of March. They plan on inducing labor on Saturday, the leaking can create an infection for little boy, so the hurry to deliver. Yippee. I am going to be gramma to a little boy SOON!

I'm away all this week. However my wonderful fiancé has posted mine out for me :) Hopefully, Jane, yours should arrive before you move.
I've also been informed a NY, WI and WY have arrived! Even more reason to look forward to going home on Friday! :-)

Joanie my thoughts and prayers are with Jen and am so happy you will be a gramma again :)
Sazu I sure hope that NY one is from me lolol
I received squishies but dont have my list in front of me..off the top of my head I am going to say from Jaba and paperpieceme :)
Hugs
April

Woohoo off the top of my head was right! I received from Jaba & paperpieceme so far for this group :)
Hugs
April

Ahhh.. I want more fabric squishies!! :cool: I have my fabric picked out for paperpieceme and urgodschild2.. just need to find the block and start sewing!

I can see how people become addicted to swapping!

I received from tlambing & frenchfryqueen today.

I received F8 from Nelco (wow was the envelop mangled), quiltAddiction (yeah Australia), and Tlambing.

Received and sent lots today, from this group received from frenchfryqueen,nelco and urgodschild. You're in the box ready to look at your fabric and sew.

I received F8s from tlambing and neocon. Nelco- did you make someone at the post office mad? Lol. My envelope was mangled too. Fabric was fine, though!

No I don't thank so...could of been the flimsy envelope I put it in.:( I tend to recycle

received my F8 from frenchfryqueen today.

Can anyone tell me how to add pictures to the photo albums without them being HUGE? I tried to add one the other day, but when I went to view it, it was too big to view without scrolling.

I forgot to tell everyone that I do not need by excess material back. You may keep it.

Got 2 more today from tam...moo and tlambing.

I assumed that we were to keep the extra fabric for our stash unless the sender asked for it back? Is my assumption correct? (I do try to use much of what is sent btw)

okay so i have been remiss in updating because i cant post from my kindle ...so i mailed everything on 1/31/13 i have received from Jaba (and returned in the mail today) Frenchfryqueen, urgodschild2, nelco (mangled envelope but fabric is fine), and tlambing. hope to have everyone that i received back out by monday but i have a challenge quilt that i have been putting off for too long, so that needs some major attention this weekend too.

I've found that on my end when I click on them they always look big frenchfryqueen, but in your album it won't for everyone else looking. I use as much of your fabric as I can and do not send back unless you ask for it. Any left I put right back in the envelope and store it. It has happened that someone didn't get or "messed" up and needs a 4x4" piece or whatever, ahhhh I have it will send it right away. Taken care of and a block is still made. Nothing today from this group.
