Thank you Karen H.,  Julie W., Dagmar C.,  Julie P.,  Sandy W your Star Chain blocks are beautiful. Dena(aka Geraldine)

Mailed blocks to Dagmar and Geraldine today. So far I have received blocks from Caroline, Julie P, Kathy S, Laura R, Nann, Peggy and Tracy.  Thank you, everyone. This is going to be fun to put together. Tracy…did you decorate that envelope yourself???  It was gorgeous.  And thanks for the ticket!   Cathy L in IA Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting http://saneandcrazy.blogspot.com/

I put my block in the mail to Dagmar today. Congrats!

to Cathy, Charlene, Karen, and Mariella.  Congratulations to all the winners (I am still a little jealous!)  and hope they arrive soon.  Have fun with them.  Kathleen

I have received blocks from Barbara S., Mellors, Nann H., Sophie W., Edling, Laura R., and Kim H. Thank you so very much! Dena(aka Geraldine)

I have mailed my Star blocks to Cathy L., Charlene, Karen N., & Mariella. I hope they all arrive safely, 3 of the 4 have a long trip to make. ** Caroline **

Sent one block today to Mariella in Mexico. Postage was the shekel equivalent of $1.32.

I mailed a block to Cathy L. a couple of days ago. Have fun, and congratulations!

Most of the blocks we make this year will be 7 inch squares (finished size). The March block is 14 inch square which is the equivalent of FOUR 7 inch squares.  Mailing one of those in an envelope is the  size and weight equivalent of mailing FOUR 7 inch blocks, which nobody complains so loudly about. My plan was that we would make one more 14-inch block at the end of the year … but, honestly, because of all the whining about postage,...

This morning I sent my star chain blocks to Dagmar, Geraldine, Karen and Marietta. Enjoy! Sandy at sewhigh.blogspot.com

Mailed my blocks. As the clerk went from one computer to another to get postage rates, I told her I was giving her a workout. She laughed. She had me write down key words for when my friend Karen comes in with her blocks to mail. Cathy, Geraldine, Dagmar and Mariella can be on the look out for them!

I am pleased to report that Star Chain  blocks are heading to a Karen in South Africa and Dagmar in Germany. I used a  greeting card envelope that measured 5 3/4″ x 8 3/4″ to mail the blocks. Taking Sophie’s suggestion, I did not fold them on the seam. They fit perfectly and were very flat.  So much so, that the envelopes fit through the US Postal letter -size mail dimensional template 1/4 inch thickness window easily!...
