I have my Nickels ready to mail, but still need your address. Please email to cathy_palmer at hotmail dot com. I hope that my RGB squares will not be too late for this round of swapping.

Cathy,
I sent you my address in an email to your address earlier today. I'm sorry if you did not get the email in time for this deadline.

Teresa

second email sent just now at 11:45 p.m. EDT

Teresa, I see that I joined this back in Jan, but I completely forgot until I read this today. Obviously, nothing is in the mail and since its hit and miss when something might get to you from me I'm not going to try now. I'm really sorry, I hope one less does not cause too much trouble.

Tomorrow I have the day off so I plan to do the swapping then. It appears that all participants have mailed if they are going to be part of this swap.

Lost a day yesterday being sick at home...:o( Today is better.

Teresa

Teresa,
Received the nickels. Thank you for doing this swap. I love them all.
Vasu

Email me if you want to swap but do not have my address:
tcrouzer at yahoo dot com.

Teresa,I`m sorry but I have to bow out this time.We have a huge power bill to pay.Maybe I can do the next one. Robin

Hi - I live in Cornwall - U.K. I would be interested in joining this swap - or am i too late?? Could you please tell me what i need to do.

Annabelle,
Please read the swap guidelines listed in the first post above. I will need to weigh a package of nickels to let you know how much you will need to send me in fabric or US dollars if you can get them.

Reach me by private email at tcrouzer at yahoo dot com. Use the "at" symbol and a period for the "dot."

I just found this forum and signed up:)) I would love to join in on this swap, but will be August before I'll be ready to swap since May is almost here. Can I go ahead and get signed up for the August swap?
Hugs,
Betty (EXCITED IN TN:))

Welcome, Betty! There is no sign-up for the Nickel Swap or the Fat Quarter Swap that I host on this forum. Simply read the guidelines posted in the first message on this thread, then contact me by email: tcrouzer at yahoo dot com to I can send my mailing address by reply email.

Teresa

Hi Teresa - i tried emailing you but it bounced back. It sounds as though i am going to put you to a whole lot of bother over this, so perhaps I ought not do it - what do you think

Annabelle, the email should not have bounced unless you did not enter it correctly. Go to "My Page" beside my forum name and try to send me an email from there.

The only real concern I have is getting your package on time so that I don't have to make others wait longer for me to swap out the nickels and get them in the return mail. Air Mail or the like would be best, but that is going to be expensive and our rates are going up in May.

Nickels received today from:

sunnycentral- FL
Paula - IL

Please get your nickels in the mail by May 9! Thanks!

Going to cut mine tonite.....Jill

Mine will be in the mail tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.
Linda OH

I will cut tonight and mail by Thursday, promise!

Dianne

Teresa, do you know that postage is going up on Monday? When I took my package in the clerk said she didn't know how much it would increase for packages. She said she didn't think it would be over $3 so that is what I put on mine. The entire package to mail to you was $2.32 so I am hoping it won't increase to more than $3. Let me know if I owe you for postage.
Linda OH

I knew it was going up this month, but wasn't sure of the exact date. I wouldn't think the packages would be more than $3 in the new rates.

I didn't get mine out today as planned,
I'll bump the return postage to $3.
I didn't know it was going up, didn't we just do that?
Mine will go out tomorrow, JIll

My husband mailed mine yesterday. If the return postage is short, please let me know and I'll forward the difference right away.

Dianne

All,
I don't worry too much about the nickel and dime differences in postage - it's when it gets up in the $1 range or several packages need extra postage - neither of which has happened with this swap.

If your package is low on postage, I will let you know and you can include the amount in stamps with your next swap package to me.

Teresa

Thanks, Teresa! Will catch it up with you next time. You are a dear!

Gwen

Teresa, I put my package in the mail today. Hopefully the postal clerk correctly calculated the return postage!

I just cut mine and they will be in the mail tomorrow. Nothing like waiting until the last minute! :0) thanks- JudyLee

Swappers - your nickel squares are in the mail to you today!

We had seven members participating this time and we would love to have more swappers join us!

Please pay close attention to the next two swaps, especially the values (medium to dark) and shades of color (cream, beige, light gray):

August 8, 2008 - Neutrals - medium to dark: gray, brown, tan/taupe
note: gray means gray, not black, brown = the Crayola crayon brown, tan has a bit of orange in it, and taupe = medium brown leaning toward gray

October 10, 2008 - Background Lights: cream, beige, and light gray - NO WHITES
note: cream = off white, beige = lightest brown, light gray = pale, dove gray

Disclaimer: If you do not follow the guidelines, your fabrics may be returned to you unswapped. Depending on how many swappers are participating, you may get some of your own fabrics back.

Thanks, Teresa.

It always makes my heart sing to get a squishy in my mailbox. Thanks for taking the time to coordinate this swap for us.

Dianne

Theresa, my squares arrived yesterday. I can't wait to start my Morning Star quilt.

Dianne

My squares arrived yesterday. Thank you to everyone who participated and especially to Teresa for hosting the swap.

Thanks Teresa, & thanks to everyone for my squares! JIll

My nickles arrived. Thanks Teresa, will send you a stamp to make up for postage with the fat quarters. Paula
