A Post Office Shocker

I confess that one of the reasons I mailed my blocks (checkerboards to Pokey and Shannon) so late this month was that I was dreading the trip downtown to what looked to be the closest PO to my new apartment. 

Then, last week,  the receptionist at the office told me about one in an adjacent town that was pretty close (and had lots of parking).  Even though I drove by to check the Saturday hours one night earlier in the week, when I pulled up and parked (in an empty parking lot) on Saturday morning, I was sure they were closed.  But they weren't ... I was the ONLY customer in the place.  That never happens to me.   I was in and out quickly ... then went back to take a photo--because who would believe it?  (In the meantime, someone else had come in to mail something.)

Checkerboard Blocks Mailed

Julie and Linnea I'm mailing out your blocks today. 

Oh my gosh, I can not believe I am so late mailing this out.  I'm so sorry!!  This is one time that life just got in the way.  We have been out of town for quite a bit of the month, and then when I returned I realized I didn't have stamps!!!  Ugh!

Better Late Than Never??

Thought I'd better let Pokey, Rho and Julie W know that I finally got their blocks in the mail yesterday.  I do apologize for being so very late with this.  I've been ill for the last 2 weeks and just couldn't get to the post office. I hope you'll have fun with them when they finally arrive!

Blocks mailed

Sorry, I forgot to post after I mailed my checkerboard blocks. I took them to the post office on Saturday morning and they should soon arrive at the homes of Marie, Marybeth, and Pokey. Enjoy them! I absolutely loved these blocks and can't wait to see the great quilts the winners make!

Finally sent off my blocks!

My blocks are on their way from Ireland...sorry ladies for the lateness...made it just at the mid month mark...I'll do better next month!

checkerboards sent from Big D

I finally posted my checkerboards to Julie and Linnea today. (Sorry if a little Texas hot air got sealed in the packages, although we actually got rain this morning).

blocks on the road

Checkerboard blocks have been mailed to Andra and Julie.  Sorry I'm sort of pokey about getting these out.  It's been a crazy month with no time.  Now, I just need to find some time to make violets.  My material is picked out and ready. Yea!

Thank You, Block Friends!

Hi, we have been on the road for our longest trip from home in years, no kidding! I let Sophie know I'd be gone, and only was online to check emails. I was happy to hear I'd won this liberated checkerboard, but the best was coming home last night to open the wonderful squishy envelopes-!

Blocks in the Mail from June

I went to post office today and mailed my July checkboard blocks to Marybeth in Florida and Rho in Texas.

I also mailed my newly uncovered May pineapple bonus blocks to Kim in Georgia.

Happy sewing!

July blocks mailed

Went to the post office today and mailed off my blocks to Rho, Ronda and Shannon. It seemed so strange to send untrimmed blocks! Hope they arrive safe and sound.

July blocks mailing tomorrow

Oh, and just a note to say that my blocks from July (to Rho, Rhonda and Shannon) will go out tomorrow - my apologies for the delay - we were away from home on holiday last week and I didn't manage to get my act together enough to mail them yesterday or today...

Liberated 16 patches mailed.

Hi to Shannon, Rho and Ronda: your blocks went in the post today. I hope they don't take too long to arrive from England

Checkerboard Blocks mailed to Linnea, Maria, & Marybeth from Jennifer

They are in the mail & on their way! Since we're all in the US, it shouldn't take more than a week for them to arrive.

Enjoy!

Blocks posted from CathyC in Australia to USA

My blocks have been posted to Andra, Julie & Linnea ;-)

hopefully, it will only take 7-10 days ;-)

Blocks in the mail

My blocks were mailed Friday to Marie, Marybeth and Pokey.  I hope they get to their new homes soon!

Checkerboard Blocks Mailed

My blocks for Pokey and Rho were mailed last Friday so should be on their way over the Atlantic now - I hope.

Checkerboards mailed

I mailed to three people today, but who were they?

Hmm, I cut up my paper with the addresses on it to mail one of them.
I can't get onto my own e-mail account to re-find the names/addresses.

So, Sophie, I can only tell you they were the last three people on the mailing list, and two of them were in Canada. Sorry I am so out of touch right now!

Checkerboard blocks mailed from Kathy S.

Today I mailed blocks to Marybeth, Pokey, and Linnea.  Blocks were mailed from Ohio.  Congrats to all of the July Block Lotto winners!  Make something pretty.

Blocks in the Mail

I mailed out blocks to Andra, Linnea and Marie today. I hope you enjoy :-) When I got to the post office I noticed that I hadn't trimmed off the long threads. I am so sorry! lol I wouldn't have sent them like that but I am going to be camping for the next week and a half so this was the only time before mid-month that I would be able to send them.

Blocks coming & going

This week I mailed my blocks to Julie Wa, Linnea & Marie & received from Julie Wa, Laura, Pat & Sandi.  Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!
