Ooooh, I love licorice! I reckon any black and whites with other colours could be licorice allsorts. Do you have those sweets in America and Australia and everywhere else? I love them. Yum!

Thanks, Lorna!

My lemon-lime sherbert reels will be in the mail this week. Very excited to get the new reels and see what everyone has made.

Licorice anyone? Here's a picture of my reels. I'm thinking of chocolate for my second set....Doreen

Yirsa,

You are right. The online version does seem to require phone numbers. I tried to fill it out, but it also only seems to be from states to overseas and not from overseas back to states. That really won't work in this case as technically I have a US mailing address. It just happens to be an APO box. If your PO does't have the form, you can order on line at the link Margo provided. The paper version does not require the numbers.

It may very well be different when I go in to the PO. This was an online form in 2 different places at the USPS site and had the phone number asterisked. It is a small town PO here and I doubt it will be a problem even if it does ask for it. As long as I know others have already done it without needing that number, I know I won't waste a trip to town. Thanks for the help, Margo!

The customs form I was asked to fill out did not require any phone numbers! :

You can have one of these sent to you here: https://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10052&productId=10000266&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=10000002&top_category=10000002&categoryId=10000059&top=&currentPage=1&sort=&viewAll=N&rn=CategoriesDisplay&WT.ac=10000266

There is no charge for the form.

I was just checking online to see if I could print the PS Form from my computer to fill out....I am way out in the country. That appears to be a pain but did get to look over the form and it asks for a phone number. I did not see where there was a phone number for us to include on this form. Will it be different when I go to town on Monday to send my reels, i.e. they won't ask for a phone? Thanks for the help. I have never used this form before or any others from PO for that matter!

I altered the spread sheet after this post, but the guarantee not to guarantee that you will receive one of your own patches back, still holds, especially if you only have one set.

In other words, if you send in 41, you will get 41 (various) back & If you send in 82 you will get 82 (various) back - simples.

My butterscotch set is done and I have two seams left to sew on my orange juice ones. Then I need to cut the orange ones and label all of them. That will not be done today as I have a full day starting in 45 minutes and I have some minor housekeeping to do and breakfast to eat before then. I'm really looking forward to what I get back!

My first set is sewn. I am calling it Pumpkin Pie. My second set is starched and ready to cut. I think that one will be called Blueberry Pie. I am starting to get hungry. If the kids let me sew the plan is to get the reels in the mail on Monday. I wonder if I can convince them not to go to the park today, but that probably won't happen. Maybe I can convince them to make lunch and dinner so I don't have to.

I did not make an extra one for me. I will be thrilled with whatever I get back. If I don't get one of mine back that is OK.

I was a little behind on reading all the post on the exchange but I think I am all caught up.
I found out two days ago that I am signed up and have a number. Courtesy of my dear sister.
I am heading down to visit her next week so I guess we will be making ours together. That will be fun.
Love the reels you are all making. I have Edyta's book with the Spool quilt. Bought it by mistake when I was looking for her other book for the triangle exchange. I think it has turned out for the best don't you? I Edyta's Spool quilt. Can't wait to make it. Of course I need to put the finishing touches on my HST quilt. Almost done.
