Delivery Confirmation #0306 1070 0005 4025 7596

This was so much fun! The four patterns are included in my package. Tall Pines, you don't have to send any patterns to me! LOL

Yankee

evening all - I am hoping to take part but am holding off for another day or so to make sure I can make it work - so far I have found gummy bears, and chilli peppers that I don't think I can see on anyone else's list. i have found lots of others but not ones that are gravity assisted. Someone has potato chips on their list - is that crisps (come in a bag) or chips (come with fish)? I have found potato crisps but I think it might be a duplicate.

hoggie

Hoggie,
Welcome!
I think most of us regard Potato Chips and "crisps" from a bag. I'm not completely sure but I think "chips" that come with fish, are more like Frecnh Fries.
Here in Wisconsin---all the Fish dinners come with the French Fries----although a Baked Potato might be an option :)

The "gravity" rule is a recommendation but not a requirement.
:baby04:
In fact, I'm almost embarrassed to tell, but TWO of my fabrics do not respect the rule of gravity-----well, one almost does, but the one with 'screws' pretty much has then "floating".

Okay Hogggie!
According to my computer clock you posted this message at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, yet you said "Good Evening"!

Now, I already know where you are located.
Are you going to share that bit of information with the rest of the ladies?

LOL tallpines - games up :rolleyes:

Weeellll - I am in Europe, in the UK. I live on a small island in between England and France. A looonnnnggggg way from you guys - and its now 11.00 pm

hoggie

Oh yes - I forgot to say - I have now found some other fabrics with different veg on so once I check them out further I will have veggies - hopefully

hoggie

Hey....that is neat Hoggie! Hope you get to play with us too!

Guernsey? Jersey?

I thought hoggie was British or nearly from the termnology.

Angie

Ohhhh my!!! You got my head spinning with all that math.....
my least favorite subject! Takes me forever to figure out blocks and such that I have to use math for.

Now, Nan - I know that you will really have a hard time buying more fabric!! :rolleyes:
Honestly, I think a few of us are addicted to fabric!!! :nono:
Is that possible??? :1pig: Or do we just hog it all up????
The fun is in the hunt....... :dance:

Lol! I cannot wait to see all the different fabric!
I think I found my shelf fabric too.... brown with a nice woodgrain....

I got an e-mail today saying my fabric has been shipped. I wonder how long the USPS needs to transport 6 yards of fabric 20 miles? :D

I don't know...I'm getting to be a fabric addict too. But it sure is nice not having to go out and look for matching fabric to do a one-block swap like the one in the CF forum.

I've done several of the CF blocks and have NEVER had to shop for fabric!
That one of the benefits of being a Fabricoholic and having a STASH! :)

Nan - I'm impressed! So close - I am in Alderney which is about 25 miles North of Jersey and Guernsey. And a bit smaller LOL - only 3 and a half miles long and 1 and a half miles wide !

hoggie

I have just phoned the fabric shop where I found my veggies - the lady does/has done jar quilts and says they are all a suitable size print but she is going to send me some samples today. Looking good :)

hoggie

sorry to be a pain - could anyone who has already done their fabric give me an idea of what the parcel will weigh (just a rough idea) please ? Have just been on the phone to the post office and am trying to figure out how much the postage is going to be.

thanks

hoggie

Please count me in, too !


I have from my stash:

Dragonflies-tan background,Rust color "flies"

Pigs on red background, Pig's size is approx. 1 and a half inches long, one inch height, and they are nose to tail and close together vertically with a bit of space between. The pigs are tan, black and white and some are speckled Will this be appropriate?

Bright red cherries on white

red tomatoes on navy blue

Margo

Welcome, Margo!

Your dragon flies sound great.
Your cherries are not like the other Cherries we already have.
We already have a couple of tomatoes, but as far as I'm concerned, the more tomatoes the better :)
And the Pigs sound quite novel and interesting.

So, it sounds as if you are all set :)
You are expected to send in 3 different prints but can send more if you like.
Let me know which ones you will be sending 'for sure' so I can add them to the list.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

It seems that some of the ladies are sending more than just their 3 prints.

Some are sending additional fabric and even patterns.

Because these EXTRA's may or may not add significant weight to the SQUISHY and affect the postage ~~~~~~~~~
I'm asking that each of you send an extra $1.00 to cover this possible additional expense.

Any money that is not needed for your own package, will be returned to you inside your Squishy..

My chips are potato chips that come in a bag. They are rippled Chips. I bought them at fabric.com if you wanna check it out.

HTH!
Rachel

thanks - they sound the same, but its okay. I have found some now that no-one else seems to have. Will post them when I'm sure what I'm getting

hoggie

Hooray, my fabric is here!

It looks very nice, except I have to make a correction -- it looked like dominoes in the photo, but it's really black & white dice. Works just as well.

Now, I don't know why you'd put sushi in a jar on the pantry shelf (or even eat it for that matter, yuck) but it looks very colorful and makes as much sense as tallpines' floating screws. ;)

I'm absolutely SWAMPED with work today so I probably won't get it washed and cut before next week.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

It seems that some of the ladies are sending more than just their 3 prints.

I will send an assortment of the prints I mentioned above.
This is gonna be sooo much fun!

Fabric is washed, dried, and pressed. I'll start cutting now :)

I will be sending it later this week.

Rachel

Margo, just want to clarify?

We need 30 6X10 pieces of EACH print.

Are you sending 30 pieces of EACH of these prints?

Dragonflies-tan background,Rust color "flies"
Pigs on red background
Bright red cherries on white
red tomatoes on navy blue

does anyone want gummy bears and/or cigars? I have them both sitting here and would not mind at all including them if anyone wants them - but if one person wants them you all have to take them, LOL. I know someone else had mentioned gummy bears, but I don't see it on the list - so let me know.

The other fabric is now cut and in the envelope.

ok, finally have the other two materials!

Strawberries
Mixed Citrus Fruit
I almost got bread (and I may yet!)
but stuck with these now.

woohoooo ready to cut some fabric soon! (after washing of course!)

I'm going tomorrow to see if there is anything left that ya'll haven't chosen! LOL! I am sure I can figure something out! I've been known to get creative a time or three! :hobbyhors

It's getting tough out there! I almost got a zucchini fabric and then there was a cabbage.... but I just fell in love with the strawberries and citrus! Wanted just lemons, but couldnt find them.

I would like a piece of each of those, please. :)

RockyGlen, I think I would like one of those also...
Well, think I should just go ahead and buy that zucchini material or bread material I liked,,, just to throw in

I would like to sign up. Is it too late?

Welcome, Cajunmaam!

There's lots of reading to do to catch up :)

Both this thread and the "discussion thread:
http://homesteadingtoday.com/showthr...1&page=1&pp=30

Essentially you need to find 3 different fabric prints of something that might be realisticly found in a jar.....trying to NOT duplicate those that are already on the "list".

The list is quite extensive so its becoming a chalenge to find something different.

It takes 1 1/2 yards of each fabric to get the 30 pieces of 6X10 inch squares that we are swapping. (times 3 prints = 90 pieces)

Let us know what print designs you are able to find so we can add them to the "list" :hobbyhors

P.M. me your name, address, phone# and email)

Quick question --

I know that the swaps rules state that, when washing fabric, we're not allowed to use fabric softener. This time of year, however, I really prefer to use it -- without it, static electricity is so bad that I feel like I'd practically electrocute myself working with this fabric. I have "All" softener sheets that are fragrance free, hypoallergenic, because my DH and DS have sensitive skin. Can I use this? If not, I'll certainly abide by the rules.

My thoughts are, as long as they are fragrance free and hypoallergenic they would be okay.
Anyone have any objections?

It doesn't make any difference to me about the fabric softener or not...... :baby04:

I am going to Hancock's and JoAnn's today and see if I can find something!!! Wish me blessings! Will let you all know what I find! I am prepared with a fist full of coupons and my daughter to use them with me! :hobbyhors If I can grab one of her friends to also use one....we will be in like flin.....LOL!
