Ellie hope your doing better now. A week in the hospital is no fun at all. Surely if you missed sign ups someone will swap with you just let people know you would like to side swap with them. No names yet so maybe there is still time.. did you PM Brenda see if she has an odd number of people swapping and could use you??

Jvan228 10-28-2013 07:16 AM

Ellie,
If you are too late I will be glad to side swap with you. Just send me PM.
I'm glad you're out of the hospital and hope you are feeling much better.

My FQs are sitting in their little plastic bag waiting for their travel orders. I was thinking maybe Brenda should have just leap frogged the swap to Nov. since it was so late in Oct. for sign ups.

kiffie2413 10-28-2013 11:27 PM

Ellie,
Sending you some warm, quilty, healing hugs...

Brenda must be having computer problems once again, she has not been on QB since 10/25. Computers can be worse than cars when repairs take over.

Elisabrat 10-29-2013 04:36 PM

agree agree.. we will wait and it will all be fine. gives us time to catch up on other stuff in between.

brenda21 10-30-2013 09:40 AM

Ok names went out to all but two people who need to send me their addresses and full names! Mail as soon as you can and we'll just wait to start November until the middle of the month! Only one per person this month so side swap if you want to!!

lawsonmugs 10-30-2013 10:41 AM

Got my name. Thanks Brenda.

jaba 10-30-2013 12:00 PM

Got mine too, Thanks Brenda.

Aprilisslowlylearnlytoquilt 10-30-2013 01:00 PM

Got my name and it will be going West tomorrow morning...

sunrise450 10-30-2013 01:02 PM

Just got my name then found out that we are doing only one swap. I thought we were doing two swaps and so cut enough for two. Would anybody be interested in a side swap?

I would do a side sway sunrise, I already have another package ready to go

Aprilisslowlylearnlytoquilt 10-30-2013 01:43 PM

crafty-kid 10-30-2013 01:55 PM

I didn't get any name....I must win the prize for one of the two names you didn't have address for. I sent them with my email....I will PM you again. -Teri

crafty-kid 10-30-2013 02:00 PM

I might be interested....seems I didn't get a name to swap with and I have 2 sets ready for shipping out. I sent a message over to Brenda to see IF I even got in on the swap.

kiffie2413 10-30-2013 02:14 PM

I am happy to do a regular or side swap with you, crafty-kid. Just pm me if you are interested. I'll need your mailing addy...and I will pm you mine, if I hear from you...someone else may have already taken you up on this by now, we quilters seem to love this fq swap! :)

sustraley 10-30-2013 02:31 PM

I too have an extra package to swap. So if anyone wants to swap, please let me know. Just PM me.

MaryMo 10-30-2013 03:48 PM

One set of FQs is ready to begin its 1,040 mile journey tomorrow morning. Is there anybody out there who likes batiks?

Elisabrat 10-30-2013 05:34 PM

oh heck your in box is swamped marymo.. wowsa a batik swap.

I have my name its going south.. east of me. thinking its still warm where I am sending this.. we will see! I hope everyone is thrilled with this swap as I am.. oh boy what will I get??? next month will surely be Christmas. omg I will be thrilled if that is the swap.. or winter holidays to make it politically correct.. I would like winter holidays with a Christmas theme thanks! vintage Christmas prints are my favorite ....

Bullock2us 10-31-2013 03:17 AM

Mine is off going in the mail today to somewhere that is ALOT warmer than it is here! Hope she enjoys them. I too love Christmas material-there is such a wide variety!

Motorcyclemad 10-31-2013 04:13 AM

I finally got it straight. Mine will be in the mail first thing in the morning. It is only going 2 hours away, so she should have it by Monday :thumbup: ! I could just drive it over, but that would be kinda CREEPY! :p

I also cut enough for two. Not too worried about a side swap, unless we have an odd number.

marietta 10-31-2013 04:30 AM

Mailed mine off yesterday. I too had enough for 2 swaps, But my crazy life right now is not going to let me focus to do a side swap (am really new to all the swapping, BUT love it!!) so I just combined the two packages...Hope my swapper doesn't mind :-)

jaba 10-31-2013 04:59 AM

marietta I'm positive your partner won't mind at all! I can only hope it's me :) My partner should get hers soon, it's motoring down the highway today.

MaryMo 10-31-2013 07:46 AM


oh heck your in box is swamped marymo.. wowsa a batik swap. ....
Is this snarky comment meant to be a put-down?

jaba 10-31-2013 08:30 AM

Oh no don't think so MaryMo, brat loves batiks! Think she wanted to side swap with you. She's in dialysis this morning.

Grandma Peg 10-31-2013 12:25 PM

Got my name and it will be mailed tomorrow. Heading south.

sunrise450 10-31-2013 01:41 PM

My swaps are in the mail.

Aprilisslowlylearnlytoquilt 10-31-2013 01:51 PM

Mailed my fq swap today...the first one is going way west... the side sway is just going a little west. they both should be there on Monday according to my Postman, I hope all of you have a fun Halloween, I'm waiting for Zoee the witch and Corbin the Superman to come over and see me.. lol I have them some big Halloween bags made up for them, Mommom and MaMa doesn't do much candy, but she does do books and
other things lol

Aprilisslowlylearnlytoquilt 10-31-2013 01:51 PM

boy I am having a big issue spelling swap this month lol

lawsonmugs 10-31-2013 04:25 PM

Got mine mailed today.Yeah...

bjsmith57 10-31-2013 05:25 PM

My package was mailed out today also - - should be received by Monday:)

Jvan228 10-31-2013 06:35 PM

Mailed mine. Going to some one north of me. Think. . .think. . .think.

kiffie2413 11-01-2013 12:44 AM

Mine are on their way as well..the reg swap, and a side one, too.
MaryMo, I know Brat meant that as a compliment! She was meaning everyone would pm you wanting batiks!..I am sure of it. She's a lot of things, but snarky isn't one of them!
Brat, I love vintage fabrics in general...I have a few Christmas ones, not sure how willing I am to share them tho..lol..now that's not very nice to admit, eh? :shock:
Regards all,
Kif
Who would probably share 1 or 2, so she's less Grinch and more Cindy Lou...

Elisabrat 11-01-2013 04:14 AM

Thanks guys NO that was not a smarky (what the heck is that??) comment! I thought you were stating you had batiks and well around here a swap with batiks is a highly prized commodity. When the batik swap comes along we all go NUTS. Sorry you misunderstood me.

sent my fabrics.

BDawn 11-01-2013 07:33 AM

Hello, I have and still am with out my main computer soooo, I am using my old standby and don't know how long it will stay working and I will not have my other computer back for a few days. I have sent my FQ's out and a little history for you. The place they are going was settled in the early 1800's by Quakers looking for a slave free territory. should be there Monday. Brat, your's will be be there Monday as well. Hope you enjoy the choice I made.

Here is a picture of some little fabric bowls I made from a pattern a friend gave me. She received one as a thread catcher but the little ones are too small, just my opinion. Made the pattern bigger and like how that looks too. Used some of Christmas fat quarters I received here last year to make these little cuties.
