Help. I don't know if I'm officially signed up for this swap or if I was just stalking. I have my blocks ready to mail. Oh I hope I'm signed up. Does anyone know if we are still able to access the Group Activity Page. I tried to use the link from the first page and it wouldn't work.
Thanks

Yes, you are signed up for this swap! No, we are not going to have the activity pages any longer. BooHoooooooo, that makes me really sad!!!! I look forward to receiving your blocks!
Blessings!

Due to my own stubborness I won't be able to have my 2 sets in the mail by the 10th; so please withdraw my name from the swap. Lesson learned...when the directions say to have your blocks done before signing up, DO IT. Someone out there knows better than I did. Don't fret, I'll be back...only wiser and smarter.. Thank you all for your kindness in offereing your help and accepting less than perfect...I've never been in this situation before and as I said, my own stubborness got in my way. Mary Ellen

I would be happy to get your blocks and strips.
I signed up for 2 sets of embroidered blocks. The embroidery has been done for a long time but they are not 12 1/2 inches. I planned to add borders to make them the required size but...my macular degeneration (wet) has gone haywire: therefore, there are no straight lines in my life. I have tried adding the borders but it is not the quality I would want to receive in a swap and I'm sure you will want to 'unsew". The embroidery scenes are beautiful toile winter scenes (if I do say so myself) and measure 8 1/2 or 9 1/2 inches. Here are my thoughts. I can send the cut border strips with the blocks so you can add them or I can just withddraw from the swap. I am a stickler for following the rules so if it is decided that I should withdraw it won't hurt my feelings...next time I'll make sure my fabric is large enough so no borders are needed.
I have been trying to muster the courage to write this for a long time and will be relieved when it is finally sent. Mary Ellen
