Ok I will plan on sending unless I hear otherwise.

I have just added to this thread on my 1.5 inch squares. Hope to get this finished this year.

Missi, are you sure your house is big enough to swap out 60 traders? !!!! :) Thanks for doing this!

Missi,
I mailed my package back in Dec. I just noticed you don't have me marked as received. Please update and let me know you have them.

Missi, My package is on its way as of today..Thank you

Donna

I don't know for sure. Rayon may have an aberrant odor from cotton, and bamboo as well. I just don't know for sure, except I do know I dislike working with bamboo batting. I am truly the fan of cotton.

That's what I thought, too (about rayon). Rayon can be so quirky and unpredictable. I remember a top I had made with what I thought was woven cotton shirting. I discovered it was rayon and then realized why it had shrunk so badly!

Snow day today, so I hope to finish my cutting.

Me too, Jen! I'm going to try to finish the backs and quilt two quilts today! Yay! See you Saturday!

Isn't it just so beautiful out there? Does the Alaskan in you enjoy this as much as the Alaskan in me? :mrgreen:

It's taking me longer to cut this time. Last swap I pulled out 50 fabrics that I could get the right number of squares out of each. But my scrap box is overflowing with little pieces. So this time I'm purging the small stuff which makes it more time consuming to make sure that each set will have 50 different squares, but at least I hope to be able to close the lid on the scrap box when I'm done.

Enjoy your sewing time today! We're headed outside to play after breakfast. I think the backyard looks so beautiful when the snow is untouched, but seeing a snowman amidst kiddie footprints all over the yard is a beautiful sight as well. See you Saturday!

Just an update - we have 60 swappers - yah!!!!! Where I am going to swap these out I have NO idea. I might be headed to the church basement, I have gone there before to lay out a king size quilt and that works pretty good.

I was out of the town Monday thru Wednesday and it is snowing so I have not yet gone to the post office. I will try and get there this afternoon and update the list.

I also see a PM and note from pattis that I don't have her marked down as received. I will try and get to a double check this weekend.

Thank you for checking, they were in snack bags, all fanned out double rows so you can see each fabric. I sent you 20 sets since you said that was the max.

[Isn't it just so beautiful out there? Does the Alaskan in you enjoy this as much as the Alaskan in me?]

Not so much, Jen! I like to look at it but the older I get the more I understand why my in-laws keep their house at 70! I'm cold!!! Plus it's so annoying to turn on the TV and see constant news about something so trivial (for other parts of the country, I know!)

Missi, mailing my package out to you on Monday!

Could someone please PM me Missi's address? I have it, but it's on the computer that's out of order. :roll: :roll: I'm ready to send my squares.

Thanks!

Sent Missi's address in a pm to you. :-D

Thank you.

Missi, my squares are on the way now! :-D

Missi, Received your addy tonight so package is ready for the post office Tuesday March 3. Thanks so much for hosting this swap, had a blast cutting all those postage stamps all 1000 of them. Can't wait to see the postage stamps I get from the othe swappers!

OMG, I didn't realize it was 1000 of those itty-bitty things! I just kept thinking 50, 50, 50...

And you only have to do 8 or 9 more swaps to have enough to do a quilt..... :thumbup: :lol: :roll:

Well to be fair, we may not have to do 8 or 9 more swaps. I have a few fabrics of my own I can use! :shock: The countdown has begun as we wait for Missi to become totally unglued as she sorts and packages. Good luck, M!

Mine went out in the mail today. I'm also in another postage stamp swap at the same time, and 4 times a year, we each make 25 packages of 50! I thought I'd cut enough ahead of time, but I still needed to cut an additional 25 stamps for both swaps! Good guess!

Michelle, First of all, you should know I like to tease... You had me concerned with Tuesday being the 3rd of March but alas, it is only the first of March. Whew... I am already behind... lol, lol. :wink: :wink: :wink:

I finished mine up last night and they are ready to ship. I only need Missi's address. If I don't get to the P.O. today it will be Wed.

Hi, I just joined for the first time and am sending 20 packets. Hope it doesn't matter what colors, etc, since I have a lot of reproductions. PM'd Missie

I'll be off to the post office tomorrow to mail my squishy. Can't wait to get my 1000 squares. It'll definitely help with my postage stamp quilt -- such slow going . . . . :(

Sending you a PM with Missi's address. :-D

hey everybody I saw this pattern and thought what a great idea for my 1.5" squares

Thinking--thinking... Thanks for the post Missi!

You guys have to check out Sue Garman's quilts she has one called an omigosh quilt - oh my gosh I finished it. It is amazing. Here is a link to her blog.

I have so much quilting to do my job is getting in the way

I won't be trying that any time soon or in the long distance either. Whew! I will leave that for you to do Missi :-D :-D

Missi
about 2 weeks ago I asked if you received my package and your were going to ck and let me know. I didnt get a PM from you yet. just want to be sure you have received mine. It wasnt marked as received. They were sent months ago.

I mailed my squares yesterday. I can't wait to get them back! Sew many ideas...

Okay, whose going to host the next one? We might as well get it going too.

That would be cool.....your idea, your job.....lol

Hmmmm... I think Missi is the queen of 1.5" swaps. She does such a great job of it too.

:-D :-D :-D :-D

I think you're right

Twisted you read my mind. I was thinking we swap again in late June or July? Anyone care to weigh in? Was also thinking about the neutral swap that we had discussed earlier. Twisted you wanna run that one? I'm afraid it might confuse people if I am doing both.

Oh no, not me! I don't think I could host this kind of a swap. I know my limitations, and this one is just waaay over my head. :shock:

Missi you are my she-hero!

I'd be happy to host the "neutral squares" swap! It will be fun!! :)
