Thanks for coming forward, Mariposa! I need several neutrals to finish my project. This would be great.

Just mailed my squares. Excited about getting my first batch. I would definitely like to be included in the neutrals and another swap. Been wanting to do a postage stamp quilt for a while. This will get me moving.

OK--we are seeing how many would be interested in doing a "neutrals" 1.5" swap. Are you interested? Please send me a PM if you are. Trying to see how many are, and how many squares/sets we could do.
Thanks,
~Mariposa

I just finished my stamps....where can I get Missi's addy?
David

Sent you a pm.

Missi, I've PM'd you - almost missed this one :thumbdown: I'll just have to pay closer attention :!:

And Mariposa, I've PM'd you also. A neutral stamp swap sounds great :!: :thumbup:

Ditto! Not sure if I have enough for a neutral swap. :roll:

Before I say a definite yes, will you clarify for me what you consider "neutrals"?

just tracked the second package I mailed to Missi since the 1st is MIA:

Hey gang - me again. Just a few reminders as you are finishing up.
1 - label your sets with your board name, state, etc
2 - double check that you have 50 squares per baggie
3 - No flannel, please. If you sent some don't worry it will make due but for those of you still cutting, please NO flannel.

I went to the post office yesterday and have five or six squishies. I begged the postman for a nice US post office rub - they are fabulous.

Just back from the post office. The list is updated as of this morning - Thursday March 10. If I counted right I already have over half the sets and the mailing deadline isn't until next week. You guys rock!!!!

Missi, I go in for hip replacement in the morning. I am finishing up 12 more stacks of squares today before I start sorting them into the 20 individual piles.

My sweetheart (DH) has offered to take them to the post office if I will write out all of the instructions for him. He will put the squishy in the mail by or BEFORE the deadline. Sigh... I know he can do it.

Thanks in advance for handling this swap and for understanding if anything should not go quite right... :shock: :-D :lol:

Linda, take care of yourself! Good luck w/the surgery - I know you will feel SO much better w/a new hip. Isn't modern medicine amazing!?!! :thumbup:

Thank you. Yes, what they can do nowadays is marvelous. Three hours from surgery and I just can't sleep anymore.

All my little postage stamps are in their ziplock bags and everything is ready to go to the post office. Whew, not recommended to do on the night before a big day. :shock:

As my Mom used to say as I was growing up, "See you in the funny papers". [not sure what that really means but we all used to get a big laugh out of it.] :lol: :lol: :lol: :!:

I have 20 sets ready to mail but I need Missi's address. If anyone can send it to me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!
Hugs
April

Thanks so much for the address-will be mailing them today.
Hugs
April

Thanks Missi for the link! "Omigosh" is something else isn't it?! Whoa! 1/2 inch squares...not 1 1/2 inch...but 1/2 inch! Sure not something I can do...yep!...defeated even the idea!

:thumbdown:

Carol is Georgia what is your board name? I have your set but can't mark you off.

Missi, I realized after I mailed my squares that I did not put in the return postage, so you will get two envelopes from me. The second will have the return postage in it.

no packages at the post office this morning when I went - a very disappointing day

Today's the mailing deadline, right? You'll be inundated with squishies in the next few days and you'll be sorry what you wished for! :)

Mailed mine today

Uh-Oh, that doesn't sound good. :roll:

Board name is clsurz.

Missi ~ my dc says you got my package today. Hope that it true. Please let me know.

Yep - they are in my hands. I just finished updating the board!!!

Since the mailing deadline was the 15th when will you be sending our packs back to us?
I hope we dont have to wait almost a month like last time for 1 person who didnt mail on time.....
Thanks, Patti

Missi, thank you that you have always been super considerate of others' circumstances and so good with handling all of the swapping and such with these postage stamp swaps.

They are fun to collect. Here's to hoping everything runs smoothly for you. Bless you for your part. :-D :-D :-D

I second that SewExtreme!
Missi...please check your PMs for my new address.
Thanks!

I haven't made it to the post office this morning. But after checking through my lists I think I am only missing packages from two swappers. They pm'd me last week 4 my address and let me know they were mailing them.

I see by the list that you got my 20 sets. I am so glad to see that they arrived. I sent you a special one of the duplicates that I had left over as a thank you for doing the swap.Can't wait for the ones I get back this is the second time for doing this trade for me and I was very happy the first time. Waiting for more before I start the project I have in mind....

I too want to thank you Missi!! This was a super fun swap. I am sorry I missed the first one and I hope this one didn't take too much out of you and will do another. Count me in if you do
Thanks so much!!
David

Well I went to the post office and NO squishies. I double checked my list when I got back to the office and of those swappers who are not marked as received I am only waiting on packages from Jennifer22206 and Neece. I don't have that anyone else contacted me that they were mailing or for my address. So as soon as those squishies arrive I will find a place to swap out 60 some envelopes of postage stamps. I taking a vacation day and quilting Friday and Saturday at my LQS down the road.

Hopefully I can get all these swapped out Wednesday and/or Thursday and then I can go the post office and mail these Friday.

Missi...please check your pms...my change of address is there!
Thanks! Sandy

Jeez, Missi -- I don't see YOUR name checked off! :D I am so looking forward to receiving our new stamps. Have been working on my blocks. A bit tedious but I'm enjoying it a whole lot. I hope to get this quilt done this year sometime!

ok - swappers an update. No squishies at the post office Thursday and I didn't get there today. I will make a special trip tomorrow and hopefully they are there and I can swap everything out on Sunday. I will keep you updated.

Mine are "received" atleast 15 of 20 sets. If I get the other five done great if not I will just swap 15 :)

Thanks for the update Missi! :thumbup: I appreciate all of your work with this.
