I am still sewing eyes on mine .) and trim on my 2nd set.

Since we lost several friends when they left the forum I am voting we all be patient and wait for the ones in progress. the ones i have received are DARLING and you will love them.

Oh how I wish I was at the bagging and labelling stage, that was just a question... I have one set all done but the pressing and bagging but the other 12 are still in various stages of embellishment and I am devoting the rest of today to them and hopefully I can get them out Tuesday at the latest.. my little fingers dont work as fast as I thought they could... my husband and my daughter think they are cute though)... I have lost objectivity as I am sure you all can understand.. One thing with the group shrinking it will allow us to get a couple ( boy-girl) from each of us!!

[sewcarolyn]

Beth...don't poke your fingers sewing so fast I still have some to do too

[sewcarolyn]

I sewed eyes on my second set now they need to have mouths then I am finally done

[astitchintime]

I am ironing and bagging as fast as I can... Should be in the mail this afternoon or first thing tomorrow. Am happy to see I am not the only one alittle late but am very excited to see all the finished ones as we get them back. I already know what I am going to do with mine! Will be using them for special decorations for Christmas as candle mats, placemats and stockings. I will have a complete village of gingerbread folks when I am done and will think of each of you everytime I look at them. Back to the ironing board. Happy stitching!! Debi

I need to get some eyes and I'll be done. That's the plan for today. Lori

[sewcarolyn]

Sounds great Lori, Debi and Beth! Snoopy's are on the way too
These are going to make wonderful projects!

Whew! Life sure gets in the way of quilting sometimes. LOL
The 'folks' are in today's mail (11/2) and should reach you by this Friday. They went Priority. I marked 2 that can come back to me ( I made 24) - one fellow got attacked by the killer sewing machine and may need some minor surgery. I think he'd look good as the Phantom of the Opera (with a hat and cape). LOL

PS - Feel free to send back more than 2 of mine if necessary - whatever works out with the swap.

PPS - Yikes! I just realized I forgot the mailing label and postage. Oh Good Grief! Would you prefer cash or fabric? I'm so sorry! Must have been suffering from a brain fart, as my DH calls them.

[astitchintime]

Mine are in the mail. Carolyn thanks for hosting this swap it has been great fun!! Hope everyone had as much fun as I did making them, can't wait to see them. Happy stitching! Debi

I just read Beth's post, I also sent 2 full sets (total 24) so you can return whatever you don't need. Thanks!! Debi

[bethstreet]

Mine are on their way down south and should be there by Fri as well. I sent them priority. I pinned two together that you can send back to me and the rest can go in pairs or singles. I did 24. This has been fun but I didnt realize the time it would take, now I know better...
Have fun sorting... and thanks for hosting this swap.
