Mailed mine today ... had a family problem pop up and had to address that, but mine should be there the first of the week :thumbup:

There are always some that sign up and then either disappear or drop out , it is a fact of life with swaps . Not that they meant to but life happens .

Yay! Our blocks are marked received!!! Hopefully I did enough for everyone and my daughter got tired and did about 156. Our apologize in advance as our handwriting may not be up to par. So when you get a block and can't figure out who it is, it's probably one of us LOL. Thanks so much NorBanaquilts for doing this swap for us!

I also ,dont mind waiting if we need to .

I sent in 172... I am thinking a couple might not make it :wink: MAYBE 8-)

I counted 99 received!
And I had a good laugh when I saw Norbannaquilts isn't marked received!
:-D

ok, did you get your siggies done Norbanaquilts

Rest easy my blocks are all made, not all signed but made. Even the hostess is behind :oops: :oops:

Susiequilt,

Just for your info. No1Jan and me are meeting norbana to facilitate this and the 3 of us have been in contact with each other frequently about where to meet, arrangements and what is going to be in the best interest of everyone in this swap. This is a HUGE undertaking for one individual to do.

Life has a way of putting hiccups in everyones lives and I'm not personally going to exclude someone because of life. This type of swap IMHO is not going to happen very often and want to absolutely make the most of it, as I'm sure most doing this swap wants.

I'm delighted to hear that norbana is going to have help with sorting all these blocks!
Thank you all three of you for undertaking this big project.
I have no objections to waiting for my blocks but I would hate to wait for people who don't seem to be still with us who have shown by their actions or non actions that they are no longer here.
If people have posted that their blocks are in the mail of course we should wait for their blocks as long as the hostess and helpers can manage that. You all have a life and other responsibilities so it's up to you all to set the end date, not those of us who have no idea what's happening in your life. I'm sure it's difficult just getting a date you three can meet.
I'm sorry if my post offended you but I think new swappers should be aware that they will not get as many blocks as they think and they can plan accordingly. In my mind I have a plan for 172 blocks, 144 blocks and 96 blocks and a few in between!
I hope all of the 172 now on the list send in their blocks.
Thank you very much for offering to help. I would be there if I could!

I sent my 110 blocks out by Priority Mail, which I think is two days, they should be there today or Monday, depending on the pick up time.
I sure would have liked to make more, but to tell the truth, I don't think that I want to make any more at this time. :oops:
Perhaps in the future the number of people should be limited to a doable number, say 100, and have the swap more often. :roll:
