Hi Kathleen.
Sent you a PM.
Got all my swaps sent off today.

My box was mailed today. Had them all cut and labeled and forgot about mailing as I knew I had plenty of time. Where had July gone? Box should be there next Monday... Chris

Boxes are here from RN55, Califshrimp and Ears2u. I'll open and post later!

If you ladies haven't mailed out your packages, time is a' wasting!

Hello KC
I did get off the farm and to the PO in town!
The clerk said the pkg should be there Friday.
Thanks again to all the great swappers &
Wonderful Kathleen.

Mailing my diet noodles tomorrow morning.

I'll put on the sauce....

CBQ, your package arrived, but I am off to work so I'll post it tomorrow!

I am finishing cutting out the new sets so hopefully tomorrow morning they will be in the mail to you!

A bunch of packages arrived today but I just got home from work and need to be back into work at 7:00 a.m. so I am off to bed. I PM'd those who packages came in so you know they arrived safe and sound!

Mine were Priority Mailed on Friday and the post office says they should arrive by Tuesday. I have delivery confirmation on it.

Nancyc20 and ~patch, please check in on the status of your package.

I am posting all the packages that came in Friday and Saturday right now! Many thanks for the extras!

I'll be hobbling to the post office in the morning after physical therapy, I managed to mess up my bad knee and kept me grounded Friday and Saturday, when I had planned on going to post office. All the swaps will be there, going priority. I understand of course if they don't make it by 8/8 I get all my pretties back. Thanks again for the swaps.

Ready to mail first thing in the morning.

Still haven't heard from ~Patch?

If you packages are not in the mail or will arrive for 8/8, please do not mail them out. I will start to swap out after the mail arrives that day. Thanks!

Gardenpat and Owie, your packages arrived today. Owie, sent you a PM.

Mailed at 9:30 this morning.

Thanks for letting me know. All swaps must be in my hands on the 8th as I begin to swap that day.

Whoo-Hoooo! Today's the day! I am so excited to see some "new" stash come into my life!

Has anyone chosen a pattern(s)to start using some of your new treasure? I haven't yet but I sure want to!

Thanks kc1930 for hosting this swap!

Yippee it' the 8th cannot wait. KC thanks so much, I will be thinking of you "fondling" all of our fabric....RN55

I'm a' swappin', ladies! As always, you might get some pairs back for those of you who sent it the maximum per theme.

Yippee, skippee, here it comes. New fabric for my stash. Getting excited over here. Let me go take a chill pill.

Attention all swappers! In a couple of months I will post a special event for those of you who have swapped with me in the past few years! Sounds like a "challenge" to me!

Where is the like button?

Please check your PM's before you send out my box if it isn't already sent. Thanks... Chris

Got your message, Chris. That is extremely thoughtful of you!

Ladies, your packages were mailed out first thing this a.m. Please check your PM's for your delivery confirmation, available postage balance and more information on future swaps.

Lisa, I have yours to mail with your layer cakes!

Thank you for holding mine to send with the layer cake swap . That will be a super box to go through!

You are a super hostess ! You can rest your cape for a month until it is time to swap again!

I sent it to the cleaners with my sequins gowns...

Today I received my package. I have never been a person who speaks up, but today I am as the results of this swap have hit my fairness button. Of the 105 fabrics I received, only 5 of them are attractive or something I would purchase. 100 of them are definitely at least 10 yrs. old, most of which are drab and unattractive. I will never believe that 15 wonderful swappers sent them. I will not be participating in future swaps. We all pay good postage amounts and, in good faith, send fabrics like we would like to receive back, and this did not happen. You can read between the lines.

Brooxie, I'm sorry you feel that way and look forward to the comments from the other swappers.

Remember, the theme was stashbusters--to use what we already had on hand. Ladies, your feedback?

I got my pkg today! Lots of things I had never seen before. All very interesting and great to do a scrap quilt with. Still feeling bad that it was so hard to handle for KC... I am not ashamed of any fabric I sent in, new and old. As KC stated, Stashbuster was the name of the game ths time. Hope more people are happy with their lot....Joyus

Got my package today! Thanks for the beautiful stiletto KC!!! You're such a gracious hostess

WannaQuilt2: This swap was titled "Stash" and KC pointed out anything that is in your stash (as long as it falls under her quidelines) can be swapped.
Your comments are nasty and undeserved.

I LOVE this swap! I think KC is crazy to handle the multitude of issues involved with a large swap like this. But thank you thank you, thank you for doing it!!!

As for dull and old fabrics that's why I love swaps. Its one of the only way you can afford to add the varity to a quilt.


Thanks again KC!

Thank you for your support and that of the swap theme.

I am so excited about the variety of wonderful fabrics that I received! Each one has a personality and I've already started a new scrap quilt with some! The thing I love the most about scrap quilts is that they speak to my spirit of quilting "sisters" of the past and it helps me forge a bond with them!

Quilts originally were made from recycled forms of cotton- clothes,etc. Our early quilting sisters were "eco-friendly" before it became trendy! In this economy, it makes me happy to use what I have to create something new! I have never been ashamed to give as gifts or donations quilts made with a variety of scraps! They sing to my soul!

Wannaquilt2- I'm sorry that my stash probably was one you didn't like. It contained some fabrics that were conceiveably older (even though they may have been Jinny Beyer or even Amy Butler!)but I thought that they were nice. I, for one, thank KC1930 for the amazing amount of work that she put in to making this huge swap a success!!!

Got my swaps today!
I LOVED them!
So much variety, I'm just tickled purple! My favorite color
Thanks everyone for a wonderful swap
Super job KC

I got my box today - so exciting Thank you so much for all you do KC. The stiletto is just icing on the cake - it's sitting next to my sewing machine. Can't wait to go through all the goodies with DGD - we have big plans....

I got my package Wednesday...and want to give my thanks to all the participants! Thanks KC for the swaps, I was a minor problem child by missing 3 selvages--from a brand new FQ. While some of the fabrics received are not of my liking, I can see the use for them, or to set aside for a different type of swap. Stashbuster is that, using stash, and what a great way to get a variety for those great Bonnie Hunter quilts!! I find it difficult to believe that that high a percentage was 10 years old, I know for instance, that most of mine are less than a year old. KC, again, thanks for the swaps, I can't even imagine the work involved and I appreciate it!!

I haven't gotten my yet! It's been so hot here I hope my poor postman isn't languishing on the route in a puddle...he didn't pick up my mail today.

bummed.
waiting!!!

Mine arrived yesterday, and I've gone through them, briefly, not in great detail. Naturally, there are fabrics that are not "my style", but that's what makes a scrappy quilt so interesting!

I luv a few of them, and wish I had yardage of 1 or 2. One brick fabric makes me think of the Jetsons...beautiful.

Thanks again, KC, for putting this together.

LOL! That is one of mine and that's exactly what I thought!

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! Mine came! I'm happily sorting them to color order...one of my favorite activities! Another is enjoying all the different fabrics, no matter what color or style. The thing I like about stashbusters is getting bits of color that I might not buy, have in my own stash, or be my own taste. A stashbuster swap helps me get out of the box and try something new. Scrappy is my favorite type of quilt...and the boxes of bits I'm building from these swaps helps me do that.

I think KC does an admirable job on swaps, and is more than fair and accurate. I appreciate you so much for your enthusiasm, constancy, responsibleness and for teaching me to read instructions KC!!!!!! ha! Thank you so much for all your hard work!!! I love swaps...so much fun opening the package when it comes.

The stilleto is SO helpful in sorting the little squares...how did I ever do without it!!! Thank you!!!
