Hi Ladies!
We really need to wrap this up. I have two sets of pillowcases at my house that need forwarded on, but I am reluctant to forward them as I have not heard from their partners. Please email me by Wednesday and tell me if you sent your pillowcases to your partner or not (or if you recieved them!). If you haven't sent them, that is fine- we just need to know so people can use them as presents or quit checking the mail. I also can let the two that forwarded theirs to me be partners.
Thanks
Alee
UPDATE #2
I was chatting with some other farmgirls yesterday and realized since we are doing just groups with two people, then you could just send your pillowcases directly to your swap partner. If that is what you would like to do, PLEASE email me and let me know when you send it and a confirmation/tracking number. That way if something gets lost we will know.
However, if you would prefer to leave all that sorts of stuff up to me, please feel free to just mail it to me.
I want to make sure everyone gets their pillowcases so I think tracking is very important and even insurance. I think the monetary value would be at least $100 for hand embroidered pillowcases due to the value of the time put into them.
Oh yes! When you get your pillowcases, please post pictures!
Thanks ladies!
UPDATE:
Hi Ladies!
Please go to page 6 to see the groups. We have had some people drop which is fine, so instead of doing 2 sets of pillowcases, we are just going to do one set. So send me your one set (two pillowcases) and you will get a set back. I will do another one that will be due in late January or early February so we will have some time off around the holidays but will get something fun in the dead of winter :D
Thanks so much! You all have been fabulous and I can't wait to see what you all created!
And if you had to drop out of this swap- That's okay too! We all understand that life happens and it doesn't always workout to do a swap. So hopefully you will be able to participate some other time!
Hi Ladies!
I was just talking with my mom and I had a brainstorm!
How about doing an embroidered/decorated pillow case swap!
We can do a deadline of late October since I know there are a lot of swaps going on right now.
So here are some ideas for ground rules- Let me know what you think!
1. You have to do 2 pillow cases so everyone will have a matching set. If everyone has more pillows on their bed (I have 4) we can up the number.
2. The pillow case has to be decorated in some way. I think embroidered pillow cases are beautiful, but you could tat/crochet lace onto the edge or tie dye or cut work...the sky is the limit!
3. We could either do partners or we could do small groups, like groups of 4-5. I think doing small groups would be fun so we could get a few different sets of hand decorated pillowcases.
4. The pillow cases should be standard king/queen size unless specifically requested otherwise.
I can be the swap mamma for this if anyone is interested!
Hugs!

Hi Alee, I am sorry but I'm confused. Wasn't Yarnmamma my partner? Were the pillowcases I received from her or someone else? Did mine get forwarded to her? Thanks for the help!

Cheryl-
I am glad you got yours!
Yarnmamma- I think I will do a three way swap with you. If you still want to participate. I haven't used Sherri's yet, so maybe I could send you her's and you send me yours? That way you get to participate too? Let me know!
Sherri- Yours are in the mail tomorrow. I have had a few things happen this week that slowed things up and gave me a bit more on my plate. They will be there before Christmas though!

Newheart and Cheryl are new partners instead of swapping with Yarnmama and horse since I haven't heard any updates and I want those who sent their pillowcases to get their reward.
Please email me with any sent/recieved updates so I can finish out the swap! Thanks ladies
Mikesgirl- Sending yours on Monday. Sorry it took longer. I had to embroider a new set because my husband spilled and stained on the first set. *lesson learned not to leave stitchery on coffee table...*

Hi Alee and swap gals,

Kathy- I haven't heard from her either- So I would say it would be safe to use them as christmas presents.
Margie- You are so sweet! Thanks so much for the offer!

Thanks Margie, but if my partner "flew the coop" then I know just which daughter of mine will get the pillowcases for Christmas!!
And just think, I'll have a Christmas present done already and be a step ahead of the game!!
You're a sweetie to offer--thanks anyway!

Alee, did you ever hear from my swap ptr? I never did, and I've tried to contact her a couple of times, and I think you did as well, so I'm just going to plan on using the ones I did for Christmas presents unless I hear differently from either you or her.

Sherri-
You pillowcases are beautiful! When I pulled the set I made for you out of the dryer I noticed that one had a stain on it!!! GRR. I asked DH about it and got- "Oh yeah, I think I might have spilled some pop on it.."
So I need to make a new one because this stain got set in during the dry cycle. So I might send you the one and the other a week later. I will try and get it done really quickly :D
How is everyone else doing on this? I haven't heard from anyone yet so I am hoping these are on the way?
