~ Fun and Funky Winter Holidays Block Swap ... Sign up Closed
#651
All of the blocks are stored in the plastic bags sealed and then in a covered plastic bin in an closed up spare bedroom of my home until the swap! I did have a lighted christmas candle burning in the room with a vannila spice scent while I swapped them out. I am sorry if that got into the blocks. I usually put music on and light a candle to make it festive while I do that chore. I guess that was wrong to do.... sorry.

There is no problem here gramto4. If there was any odors in the blocks it was there or came from the candle. I am glad that you understand.
P Quilty You got them?? Yahoo!
I wish everyone would let us know when they get them. I know many have received thier packages. Oh well... It is the busiest time of year! I just hope they are gonna have fun putting them into projects. I know I will. You are a great and talented group of swappers! And even though it is lots of work, you have sent me darling little gifts for my trouble. I want you all to know how much I appreciated them. Not to mention how much I learn from seeing all of your blocks and the way they are made. That is priceless!

I received mine and they are all lovely. Thank you all. Mine all have a VERY strong cigarette smell to them which I am very sensitive to. They were all in 1 bag so I think it got transferred to all of them. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it? I don't want to wash them before sewing them together and I don't think I can work on them as they are.
I was excited to see I got a few embroidered ones since I don't do that. Thanks Red for doing the swap

I suppose like she said it only takes one smoker to ruin the smell of all. I would try fabreze. I understand that works great. I didn't notice the scent at all. But, like I said, I had the candle going the whole time and a cold.
Please realize everyone.... There are smokers that swap in the group! I don't want you to scare them away if they want to swap. That wouldn't be fair. I understand the adversion, but I think we get the idea.
