Hi Ladies,
I have decided instead of having everyone send thier fat quarters out to everyone on the list I want you to send them to me with 6.00 for postage by Jan 30, 2007. If you are out of the country you will need to send a little more postage money. I will divide them up and send them out the first week in Feb. There are 15 ladies on the list so please send 15 quilt shop quailty fat quarters. The reason for the change is to keep down on confusion and also to make sure everyone follows through.
Thanks for signing up.
Hugs,
Elizabeth

Good idea Elizabeth!

...she is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.

This is a great idea. So do you want us to send 15 of the same color or pattern?

No that don't have to be all the same. They can be a mixture.

Hey Elizabeth...I was just thinking..there are 15 of us in the swap..but wouldn't we just send 14 fat quarters and not get one of our own? Or would that be too confusing? Just a thought.

Oh, this sounds SO MUCH BETTEr. Thank you, Elizabeth, for being in charge of this and coordinating the fat quarters. I can't wait to trek dow nto the small quilt shop and pick something out for each of you.

I agree with Elizabeth. When we did our fall swap a couple of the gals only sent 9 items and it was very hard to keep track of whose box got what. Much easier to just go down the line and put one item in each box.

That IS true...sorry I even suggested it..haha. Besides, I would only pick out fat quarters that I like too so I would be happy to get one of my own back, now wouldn't I???heehee

Hi Elizabeth,
I think I already have your address from the RAOK list? How should I send you the money - I guess I get a postal order or something? I'll find out from my bank the best way - and what would you consider to be a little extra? Maybe when I post them to you, I'll find out how much it would cost to send that weight back again?
I already have mine ready, so I'll post them off to you soon.
Best wishes,
Jayne

Hi Elizabeth,
I just logged onto my bank website and it will cost some ridiculous amount of money to get a US bank cheque. I was wondering if I could send you something else instead - only if you would like. I know you like Aussie craft mags and I am clearing all mine out (have way too many) - maybe I could send you some of those? If you would like to, just let me know what crafts you like and I'll flick through them - I have back issues of Homespun (this is one of my favs), Patchwork & Quilting, Country Threads, Handmade, Country Craft & Decorating and Folk Art Painting (I like lots of crafts!!!)
Let me know what you think?
Best wishes,
Jayne
