OK EVERYONE!!!!!!! We now have 200 +. If you don’t mind let me just go over the postage issue. I have received some packages without the return postage included. Also without the board name!!!!! (I need that)

Here is an idea that came from one of the overseas swappers, and it was the PERFECT thing for the return postage.
She put US cash inside of the return envelope. You can get US cash from your bank and include it with your package.

Or, you can put it in a PayPal account. I don’t care which way you do it, but PLEASE put a note inside of your package letting me know about the return postage.

Also, there are people not adding signature scraps. (YOU DON’T HAVE TO) I just want everyone to be aware that all of the FQ’s will not have the signature scraps with them.

I am trying to upload the spreadsheet with the participants. I am having trouble getting it to upload but as soon as I can get it figured out, I will post it so everyone can see it.


thrums had this idea to help me out. THANK YOU so much!!!

200+ How awesome! Awesome for us, overwhelming for Carsey! Hope everyone double checks all the guidelines before sending FQ to make it as easy as possible for you. I know we don't need to send signature scraps but I really hope the majority does. In my opinion, they will really add to our finished quilts.

i've decided i am making a star block from each of the fq's, with the same background fabric on each one to tie all of the blocks together. i will then stitch the fabric id name into a corner on the 'right' side on it's block for 'show'.

this will be a cute quilt! i'm not sure how many i'm sending yet though! lol...

*****infact!! i've just found the perfect star block for what i want!!

this way i can add the id name tag right into the star!! take a look!!

Great idea, Jacquie! Thanks for sharing. I have also been following the Scrappy Quilt Show thread and there are some awesome ideas there.

Here is the spreadsheet for this swap. Check to see if your name is on it. If it is and shouldn't be, please let me know.

Wow, 200+!!! That's great! I'll have enough for everyone ready to go soon! I'm thinking of doing the scrappy style "road to stardom" that Charisma did because we are all stars on this board :)

Hello Everyone,
Sorry I have not been on in awhile, I have been so busy. We are moving on November 28th, I have our mail forwarded to the new address for a year so hopefully nothing gets lost.

Please let me know how much I owe you for return shipping, It will be Paypal. When you are ready. :)
Thanks!
