Rosemary and Lorna, I repeat everyones' thanks and appreciation for all your work. You have done a great job. When things are beyond your control you just do the best you can, and you two have done that.
Toni, thank you for trying so hard to get the reels out. Your hard work is appreciated too. I hope you are feeling better now. Make something wonderful with your reels, and post a pic. I will keep you in my prayers.

Well, at least the post office found the first set of reels. Ditto to all the work your girls have done. Looking forward to seeing my package soon.

Have a wonderful day, Sharon

Thank you, Rosemary and Lorna for all you have done and sorry that Toni has had to throw in the towel on this. While she may be left with a bunch of reels, but they are all identical, in sets of two. Perhaps sending her the spares might allow her to put something unique together and there will be a story to tell from her particular quilt.

Ditto on the thanks to Rosemary and Lorna.....retiring after years as a Postmaster I can big time relate with the frustrations of tracking down a missing parcel....and international to boot....Yuk!

Oh that must be so frustrating for Toni! I think she gets the medal for effort considering how unwell she has been feeling. How about sending her the spare reels?

Latest News From Headquarters !

Good News - BOTH of Toni's parcels of reels have been delivered from the postal maw!

Bad News - They were delivered right back where they started from, to Toni :shock: :shock:

Completely ridiculous I know, but this being the case, Toni has agreed to 'throw in the towel', with this exchange, and myself & Lorna will be filling out all the parcels to 41 reels from her baggie, ASAP and getting them in the post.

Hello everyone, haven't checked in for awhile. I'm certainly in no rush, but wondered if someone had an update on the reels. Thanks! Barb

Rosemary & Lorna,
Just wanted to check when our spool blocks will be shipping out. So excited!!! Thanks so much for all your hard work. Sandra

To save Rosemary going through all the blocks.... My purple collection was called Parma Violets.... I'm sorry that you have had so much hassle with this swap.... I'm not worried... I dont think I'll run out of projects this side of 2020....

I love the staggered quilt! Beautiful reels.......Doreen
