At the risk of sounding silly, that does TTT! mean?

No silly questions, Lindy! We have lots of short hard here on the boards...TTT means to the top.

Here is a link to the short hand I was speaking about...

Five weeks before the swap is due...so, if you haven't been making hexies, you better get cookin, good lookin!

Thanks! I enjoyed reading those. I knew some of these but learned lots. I mailed my hexies this weekend and according to tracking, you should receive them tomorrow.

TTT!

I have four packages that came in this week, but haven't been posted (I did contact the senders to let them know they have arrived!) due to working every day this week. They will be opened and posted this weekend!

For those of you who haven't checked in, please do. We want to follow your progress! Communication is key in any swap and we need to hear from YOU! I will be sending out emails to those who haven't chatted on the boards or on the blog since signing up to be sure you are all on target for the swap deadline.

Finished 36 sets...working on more before sending.

Thanks for checking in, Miss Libby!

How are you all doing?

TTT!

I haven't mailed yet - although I had the best of intentions to do it weeks ago! They closed the po near my work and the next closest one is very inconvienent to get to. I have to mail some stuff to my Mom tomorrow morning so I will take my hexies and mail them as well.

Thanks for letting me know they will be winging their way to me...hope they don't get mixed up with all those snowstorms next week! I'll put a tarp on my chair where my post lady leaves my packages.

Up to page 1!

For those who never check out the Hexagon blog in my signature, please do! There are many more pictures of finished hexies and some projects sent in by the players.

Lots of packages are arriving--getting down and dirty now--put those hexie-making fingers into overdrive!

Your two week "gentle reminder" is coming up, so time to think about packing your hexies and mailing them in!

**************************************

ATTENTION! This swap is due in MY hands no later than March 16th. I take time off work specifically to swap out so any packages that arrive AFTER that date will be returned back unswapped at YOUR expense. Consider this your "gentle reminder."

***************************************

Yes, you will have mine before Ides of March.

KC1930 - when you say 'your swap has been posted' what exactly do you mean? I took it to mean hexies had been swapped and sent back but it's been 10 days since you told me mine was posted and I haven't seen anything yet. So now I am thinking I misunderstood.

Posted means it has been opened and logged in as received and posted to the boards as such. I'm still waiting for a few more packages to arrive before the 16th.

Sit on those hands, Miss Headielamar! Good things come to those who wait...

I am glad I misunderstood - I don't want my hexies floating out there in nowhere land! I will wait paitently.

You know me--once the swap is shipped back to you I post it here on the boards and send all the swappers a PM with del conf info and postage credit (if any).

Sure am getting excited about getting a package of hexagons from you all! This has been such fun and I can't hardly wait to get my loot. Thanks, Kathleen, for organizing this swap and taking care of all the hexies!!

Oh, I've taken such good care of all your little babies...fed then, rocked them to sleep--well, perhaps I can't part with them after all! Ha, ha...I'm keeping them ALL!

Only kidding (I wish I could!). I promise to swap them out carefully, and pack them snugly in their little packages for their return trip to their new homes.

You won't be disappointed!

Just an FYI that tomorrow is the LAST day to sign up for the second hexie swap.

If you have been lurking in the halls, come out and play with us! The pictures I am getting of the 30's fabrics is just too yummy for words. I've already made over 200 sets! Enough to swap and plenty leftover for my quilt. Those 30's prints always make me smile!

I know I will sleep better tonight knowing you are taking such good care of all the hexie babies. I know this is a lot of work for you thank you for doing the swap.

Kayla

My pleasure!

HAHA! I've tried to picture all the hexies you are "playing" with. Thanks for caring for them all. It would be easy to get attached.

Ladies, we are all swapped out and your pretties will be going out in the mail on Monday.

Stand by for delivery confirmations (if applicable) and postage credit (or due). Hope you love em'!

Oh, the ladies at the post office were THRILLED to see me coming, lol! I was expecting to see one run to put out the "closed" sign while the other locked the door.

So, look out for an email shortly with your shipment details!

Please let me know once your packages arrive safe and hopefully sound!

Got mine today......and WOW...what an assortment....will be picking out my center and getting these together. Thanks!!
