Beverly....I'm so glad that you clarified that as I was wondering just where you had sent them to! Okay, here is my address. It seems as though everyone is almost done, so go ahead and send me ELEVEN blocks. We have 12 swappers but do not need to send blocks that we make for ourselves.
Carrie Meerwarth
PO Box 251
Argyle, NY 12809
Let me know here on the site that you have sent your blocks and I will post here as I receive them so that you know they made it to me. Once I receive all the blocks I will divide them up and get them right out to you. I will post here as I send them out and would like to here back that you receive them. If there are any problems please let me know.
This is soooooo fun!!!! I can't wait to see the blocks :-)

Carrie,
My blocks are on their way. But I was in a hurry to get them out today that I forgot to put in self addressed envelope. I'll put one in the mail tomorrow.....How much postage will I need?

Hi All--
I received Debbie's squares yesterday, despite a howling Nor'Easter!!! They are lovely, Debbie!!!
Can't wait to see more!
Please make sure that you place the same amount of postage on your pre-addressed envelope as it took to send the batch out to me. So, when you get your package weighed, get the same amount of postage for the empty envelope, and then enclose the empty envelope into your package and send it off!

Bea, I have yours now, also! I LOVE the chicken print!!!
I didn't look at the amount of postage on the other envelopes, but I'll check it out when I get home and let you know what it will take to mail them back to you.
I'll be in touch!

Theresa,
Thanks, that may be a good way to go, but I think that the ones I've received have been closer to two dollars, so Bea, let me find out first and then you can decide what you want to do.

Carrie,
OMGoodness, I woke up last night and realized that I had forgot to "stamp" my self-addresed envelope!!! I just stuck it in there and sent it off.
I will be in today and will drop the $5 in the mail to you. I used one of those flat rate envelopes that send for $4.95.
Don't know where my head was!! :)

Good morning, everyone!! Hope this Monday finds you all well and ready for spring! I am hearing reports of snow from some of you, as we have had this past week, too.
I went to the post office this morning and it was like Christmas!! I received...
Bea's envelope with postage, thanks!
Amanda's package, love the earthy colors in your squares, and I'll watch for postage :-)
Holly's squares, WOW! handstitched centers!
Starletts's package--love the pumpkins and...CHICKENS!
Vicki's squares--looks like you got the hang of it...they are fantastic!
So, I'm just about ready to mix them up and send them back. I got my 11th square done, yeah!
Thank you, all, for your notes...I can't wait to send your squares to you. You're going to love them all and they are SO compatible!!

Carrie,
Thanks so much for the exchange. This has been a lot of fun and really got me thinking out of my comfort zone. I am really excited to get them back and make my quilt. I will be taking it to my quild meeting as soon as they are done and showing them off. Spring has finally hit North Idaho, I hope. Looking forward to rain instead of snow. This way I get a break from outside activities and get to sew more. Again, Thanks so much.
Theresa

Carrie,
Thanks so much for coming up with the ideas of the signature quilt. Can't wait to see everyones blocks. I have some ideas on how I want to put my quilt together. I was thinking of making it as a wall hanging with a wide border. That I will applique my merit badges as I earn them. So far I have two but I hope to earn more.
Let's all take a picture of our finish tops or quilts. What do you think chicks

I have ideas on how I want to put all the squares together. I want to enter the finished quilt in the Tunbridge Worls's Fair. I have won two ribbons there in the past. the fun is in the entering. I would like to hear opinions on having their piece part of the entry. http://www.tunbridgeworldsfair.com/

I think it is a great idea to display your quilt at the Worlds Fair. I have often thought of putting mine in our local county fair. It does sound like a lot of fun.

I used the pigma ink pens but do not thank I will ever use them again. First time I have used them but the first one ran out just by using it on 5 sqaures. Good thing that I had bought more as the store only had three of them. The writing part didn't come out that great either. Anyone else have these problems with the pens? Perhaps it was because there were the fine ones? Those were the only ones the store had. Too bad that my sewing machine doesn't have embroidery software available for it.
