I'll be watching for yours Lynns.
Have a great day. I am getting outside for a bit. It is in the 80's. They say we are having our Indian Summer this week here in south central NY. After that............it's all down hill for nice weather. Gotta take advantage of it.
Have a great day!!

I sent mine out today by priority mail and included my return envelope with postatge attached. I think I only sent 15 ~ not sure. Will you let me know? Because I can send another.

After thinking about it, you should still have enough, just be a little more difficult to sort.

Becky, it wouldn't really matter. Everybody was sending 15 and they would be getting one of those back. Now, they just won't get their own block back. That way you are not out extra postage. How does that sound?

I had bought fabric yesterday, but was at Joanne's today looking at their quilters flannel and fell in love with another flannel and bought it. I think everyone will like it a lot better too. Hopefully will have it in the mail by friday if I don't keep having car problems - very long story! :^(

If more join I cut 20 I can send more.

I sent 15 and I certainly don't expect to get back more than that if more people join up after mine were in the mail. Don't worry!

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone picked. I found a pattern I really like too. Here's a link: http://www.benartex.com/projects/p_heir ... garden.php

Oooohhhh......I like that pattern. Will make a great kids quilt, too.

Update!!

Will continue to watch for packages as they come in and will post then.
Have a beautiful afternoon!!

Lynn thank you so much for the pattern I just bought the embroidery machine and I am looking for some things to embroider for a quilt. That pattern is perfect.

You're welcome! I like that pattern too AND it was free. I don't have an embroidery machine but I'm going to just use a patterned blue flannel in those blocks. I think it'll go together fast.

Just got back from the post office. I used the free envelopes they provide. They are tougher than they look. I used regular sandwich bags rather than ziploc so they wouldn't take up as much room. Put my name and complete address inside each baggie and taped it shut just in case it breaks open somewhere in route.

Postage on each envelope was $6.20 for a total of $12.40. I just tell them what I'm up to and I leave the envelope unsealed so we can insert the return envelope after adding the postage. They seal it up for me.

Package mailed on Oct 5th at 9:30 a.m. Central Time. Hopefully, Becky will have it by Tuesday.

Strange thing about the postage for me...The postage to get there was $6.20 but the return postage was only $4.20. I used the automated center, so I went and stood in line after that and the lady at the window verified that the postage rates are different because of the zones (or something). It was strange because the last swap they were the same postage.
