Barb,
Moving the date either way is fine with me - whatever works best for the group will be good for me too.

Either is ok with me. Whatever the group prefers. It sounds like the July date would be less stressful for you, though.

Barb:

You can use either small prints or tone on tones...which ever you have.

As far as the dates go, it's really up to you. If you want all of it out of your way then do June. If you want it when you come back July would work.

Or you can convince your daughter all of us need tickets and we can just go with you and sew the blocks over there? Heck I'd even donate my blocks to her if she wanted to host a quilt retreat

I am fine with either date. Whatever makes things easier for you.

On another note- what size priority envelope is everybody using? Mine seems quite pudgy...haha.

I'm fine with either date but would think July would be better for you so you don't have to rush and worry about the swap till you get home.

Moonwork.......My daughter does not quilt so I think we would have a very sad retreat although we could just sight see around Melbourne and the area. Lots of fun Patchwork shops to go to and you have to take a train to get to them. That would be fun. My daughter and Hubby are dentist and my daughter also has a post-doc at the university so she can continue her research which she loves.

Hikeaddict: the envelopes are 9.5 X 12.5.

I will wait to hear from the others to decide. It really doesn't matter to me. Although I do lean toward the June 1st because then I can really enjoy my vacation with the grandkids without worrying about checking in to the site to remind you lovely ladies about the deadline. (Smile) But that said, I don't want to rush anyone of you.

Okay...so I am apparently really dumb with this shipping business. I haven't done this before. When I go to print postage on the USPS website it says I have to enter a date that that package will be shipped. That's fine for the one I am sending, but then how do I print return postage for it to be shipped back to me? It only goes out 4 days and I'm pretty sure Barb won't be mailing back before then...does this date not actually matter? Sorry ladies. Confused.

I use the padded envelope for $6.10

Barbara, Either date for me. But I would go for June 1. I will be right in the middle of getting my textile Department ready for the county fair the middle of July.

Fabric in the mail!!! Yay! Ready to get started on all these lovely blocks
