| Sorry to be running late, got called to work extra days so haven't been around much. We have 8 signed up for the swap. You need to purchase (or find)2 yards, of nice Civil War fabric and cut into 8 FQs. Send them ALL to me with a STAMPED (NOT metered) self addressed envelope. Please have them to me by Feb 15th. Be sure to put your GW name on the envelope to make it easier for me. I will seperate and return to you once they are all here. If you don't have my address, please send me an E-mail and I will be glad to send it to you. beverly |

| Sounds good. Does the fabric have to be the same for all 8 fat quarters? |
|
| Ideally it would, but it isn't necessary. beverly |
|
| I won't have 8 the same either. Would it help if we put a sticker on each FQ with our forum name on it if we are sending more than 1 print? Mary |
|
| Good idea Mary, that way everyone will know who sent each one. beverly |
|
| Too late for me to use stickies. My package is at the mail box. |
|
| No problem, I'll put your name on them. beverly |

|
| I didn't make it to Niagara on the weekend.....lake effect snow in the area all weekend, :( I don't think I will make it down there in time to get it to you so will mail it from here. Can I put some cash folded amongst the FQ for postage? I just don't know how much it will be. Mary |
|
| Dodnd't worry Mary, I'll wait for yours. Mine haven't gotten here yet either. 1)GrammyP 2)Lola99 3)Nannykins - Received 4)ToolGranny - Received 5)TupperMom 6)Jackier123 - Received 7)Chickie1 8)SunnyCentralFl - Received beverly |
|
| Beverly I meant to write a note to enclose but remembered after I had taped up the envelope...duhhh! Look in the FQ with the * on the label for the money for return postage. Let me know if you need more. Thanks |
|
| I ordered my fabric from Hancock's of Paducah. I just checked the status of my order and it says "in warehouse." I just called them to find out what the hold up was and I was told that they are several days behind on cutting. However I was assured that "everything indicates it will be sent out today via FedEx." As soon as it arrives I'll cut it into FQs and send it on to you. |
|
| I was away the whole day yesterday so didn't make it to the post office but mailed the FQs today. Hopefully you will get them by next Friday. Mary |
|
| Have my FQ ready to package and mail. Do I put them in plastic like in Birthday Block Exchange? |
|
| If your envelope is waterproof it isn't necessary. Otherwise I would wrap at least in a plastic shopping bag. beverly |
|
| Package went out in the afternoon mail! It should get to you before Friday. Darlene |
|
| I will keep an eye out for it. Mine arrived today so I can get it washed and cut. beverly |
|
| We have some great fabrics ladies! They will all play nicely together. 1)GrammyP - Received beverly |
|
| Beverly I enclosed $10 for return postage but I am starting to think that it will not be enough. I understand that the postage to send parcels out of the US went up substantially with the rate hikes. If you find that it is quite a bit more than that, if you don't mind I will give you my sister's address in NY state. Please let me know how much the USPS wants for postage to send directly to me. Thanks |
|
| I put $10 in as well. If not enough, please let me know and I will send more. Theresa |
|
| Thanks ladies, I will let you know. beverly |
|
| Great fabrics, everyone will be very happy. 1)GrammyP - Received beverly |
|
| I am so glad you got my package already. When I mailed it she said if I sent it regular parcel/surface, it could take 4-6 weeks! I questioned that and she said that is the guidelines that Canada Post gives them but this was a postal counter in a drugstore and the clerks are employees of the drugstore not Canada Post. 4 to 6 weeks is what they tell me when I send parcels to my son in New Zealand. Can't wait to see what I get! Mary |
|
| Sounds like 4-6 weeks is the standard answer to everything. When we lived in Germany it did take 4-6 weeks to get anywhere. I hope things have improved in the past 35 years. You are going to love the fabrics, they are all great. beverly |

| Hey there Civil War Ladies! I wanted to show you a spectacular quilt made with CW Repro fabrics. This is a blog I follow. She is a very talented longarm quilter in a very snowy and cold climate. Her photos are breathtaking - taken on the ice. This quilt is bright and cheery & inspirational. I just wanted to share with you what you can do with CW prints. The entry is February 18, 2013. Hope you enjoy it! |

| LOVE! love! the Civil War quilt, Marsha - thanks for sharing. She does great quilting - awesome when the quilter takes the time to do different patterns on a top like this instead of one all over pattern. ~Cindy |
