Hi Liz,
I'm happy to add you to the swap. Welcome! I'm sorry that you're having trouble posting. If you can post on this thread, you should be able to post on that thread. I occasionally get errors and usually when I come back things have magically fixed themselves. Hopefully your issue will work itself out, but if you continue to have issues, I think you can contact the QCA Admin. From what I've heard they are very nice and helpful.
Cheers,
Carolyn

As a side note, you can order pre-paid forever flat rate envelopes now for $5.15.. Still more expensive than the online price, but much better than this new price..

Carol Anne I start it for you ,thanks for this info very helpful ..Barbara
EAT!! SLEEP !! QUILT!!
Thanks for this information. This is good for us all to know.
For the Shades of Grey swap, I've ordered a bunch of Priority Mail Flat Rate FOREVER Prepaid Envelopes. Those were $5.15 each and can be used forever (even after the rate increase). $5.15 is the current price if you go into the post office, so I couldn't get the current online price ($4.90), but it's pretty close.
I am going to keep the return postage price for my swap the same ($4.90) and I'll just make up the small difference between the $4.90 and $5.15 myself.
For me, it was worth it to buy the envelopes now, because I know that any extra envelopes I end up with can be used for Mailbox Surprises and other things.
IF anyone else is interested in those envelopes (for swaps or for anything else), I got them at https://www.usps.com/business/prepaid-forever-priority-mail.htm
FYI Judy T, Carolyn, Thea, Barbara, Melissa, Candy; you may want to copy paste the increase into your swap pages, the PO lady told me today that the Boxes will be available as well as the envelopes. You quilters doing round robin and state blocks may be interested in buying before the 27th.

I like the idea of a red, white and black fabric swap.

I would love this swap. I've been wanting to do one for my nephew. His favorite color is red. I think he would love it and I would love this swap. Thanks for suggesting it. Candace.

Candance these are both great ideas, I did mention a easter swap .if someone would host it . if Not I'll give it some though ,but the RBW we can do as well this one was done a couple of years ago and was a big hit. lets see if anyone else is intrested in one of these . Barbara
Hi everyone ,we have someone who is willing to host a Easter fabric swap if there is any intrest .If you might be, let me know and I will open a thread for her to start a swap.. Barbara
Hi Barb. The Valentines is my first fabric swap ever, so I don't know about hosting one. I have a couple other swaps in other sites happening soon and the round robin too. BUT, I would love to see St. Patty and Easter both (if they are layer cakes). I will participate in them if they are created. Maybe later in the spring when I don't have so many swaps from several different sites going on I will step up and help you out. I hope you can find someone to do them..
