Do we send 28 each month even though there are only 15 of us? I just left the P.O sending out May's Noodles and it was a cluster again. Whoa! I can imagine sending 28 in each package, lol

Another question. Is it 28 strips for blue and 28 strips for red? For a total of 56 for one month?

I'm a little frustrated. I don't wash my material before I work on a project. As requested, I did for the noodles...what a mess when they came out of the washer. What do you ladies to to prevent all that wasted fraying?

I swear I read some where that we were asked to prewash, especially the red. But, I'm unable to find the note. I never prewash, but thought I'd follow directions.

I alway wash my fabric before i cut it. then when it is wash the iron it and then cut it. it is easy to cut it and then you dont have to wash the quilt. Where are u Carolyn?

I'm not prewashing, sorry

) That's a big reason I only use shop quality, I love the feel right of the bolt. I'm not prewashing anything, nope. Amie

Hi everyone I have had company from Illinois (still do) so I am just popping on. I am sorry I haven't checked back.

Prewashing-I always prewash then cut. I think the pre-wash about red was in the bow tie swap. I color test reds myself to check for running before sewing them. If you color test the fabric and it runs please do wash it.

Sarah=I will count the noodles you sent on Wed after my guests leave. The box of noodles received is under the bed in the room one of the guests is using.

amie-I will swap out whatever you send. Hopefully we will get a few more to join.

Hi Carolyn,

I've mailed my June and July noodles. You will receive them within 5 to 7 days as I sent them parcel post (saved me $3). Your ugly is included. I also included $10 for shipping.

I will start watching my mail for the noodles. Great idea to send them parcel post
