Blocks are out. I'm going swimming. It's 90 outside.

Yesterday, I received beautiful blocks from Gumpsgirl and Chevygirlbeth.

 

[ChevygirlBeth]

I'm so glad they got there!

I was starting to worry.

 

[gumpsgirl]

Yay! I'm glad they are there now!

So how many blocks have you received now Jody?

I believe that I have received blocks from 13 people. Two others are in the mail. The others have not responded to my requests for updates. If they aren't here by the time that the blocks come from the two that have told me they are in the mail, I will assume they are no-shows. No-shows will be not be welcome to participate in future Quilted Rooster (Yahoo group - not affiliated with BYC) swaps. It's only fair because there were others that had wanted to join but couldn't because the swap was full.

Yes..I was one of those that would love to have been in on this one..fall is just my favorite.

Are there plans for another swap? Jody please let me know..I don't yahoo..do I need to to be involved?

That's only fair Jody. I completely support you with that one.

It is one thing to join a swap and realize you can't do it then tell everyone sorry and why, then it is another to join a swap and then just ignore the fact that you have a commitment. I have had to pull out of a swap myself before, due to circumstances that I couldn't control, but at least I made a public apology and let everyone know. It's just rude to not follow through with a commitment like this. It messes things up for everyone else.

I did just find a message in my spam folder from somebody. There may be another set in the mail from somebody.

Exceptions can be made, but it is free and easy to join a Yahoo group. I did this one that way to keep it separate from BYC even though we talk about it here. I figured that the mods had enough to do without worrying about it being a BYC swap. If you go to Yahoo.com and click on groups you can do a search and find the Quilted Rooster group.

I say dont let them join on BYC swaps either, since you know they didnt fullfill thier obligation on this swap, why give them a chance to not fullfill on a BYC swap, once you find one that doesnt live up to expectations, why put hope on them living up to what is necessary elsewhere, Put them on the blacklist, and share with other SWAPMASTERS.

Give someone else a chance, the worst they can do is no show like the ones that did it already.
