Thank you, Bonnie, for all of your hard work at BINGO every year. You are THE BEST!

Barbara, I sent in the FQs that have the chopstick looking print. I hope you have fun with all of the new additions to your stash.

Congratulations again to all of the winners!

Is it too early to start setting fabric aside for next year's game ?

Finally getting pictures here of the yards and FQ's from the box I received. I seem to buy florals and pastels, so the darks are a great addition to my stash. Thanks Bonnie. And thanks to all who sent such nice fabrics. Wenonah

The FQ's-lovelies


Sorry that is so big, but as the Big Bad Wolf says "The better to see you my dear." Here are the one yard pieces. Thanks a bunch guys.

Zizzybob Receives her Bingo Box!

Here's what ZIZZYBOB had to say:

It's here, It's here (she said jumping up and down). Today turns out to be Rick's day off and Sue personally knocked on my door to deliver my prize. Holy Cow, what a score, I am almost (I said almost) speechless.

Here's a picture of just the top layer of fabric.

Best of all, there are a lot of dots in the mix. My thanks to Bonnie for all her hard work, and to all the ladies who sent in such fabulous fabrics.

Check out her blog too to see what she has plans to use those dots for ;) Click on her name Zizzybob above to take you there.

5/22/10 Edited to add: What will I do with my winnings? Here is the first of many quilts to come. One of the one yard pieces of fabric was a medium blue tone on tone. It was enough for the border, backing and binding on this preemie quilt. It was the perfect compliment to the loud and busy central design.

BINGO fabrics will arrive at their new homes SOON!!

Actually a few of them are expected to arrive at their new homes TODAY (Thursday)!!!!

I had diaper boxes all over the place!!! 8 of them as a matter of fact and I divided them up and shipped 4 boxes on Tuesday and took another 4 yesterday, Wednesday along with the Priority Mail packages for the outside border winners.

I've emailed them all the Delivery Confirmation Numbers and also a link to the thread over at the boards - hopefully as they arrive, they can check in to let us know! I knew that everyone would enjoy hearing and seeing all about it

The first year I "had" to use the USPS b/c instead of dollars to play I asked for stamps man, oh man were those boxes that first year decorated pretty with stamps all over them!! and I mean all over!

But the year after (2nd game) and until last year I took the packages to a "Mailbox & More" store and could choose to go Fed-Ex, UPS or what ever was cheapest....

Well last fall or was it winter... anyway I had some stuff to mail to various places (including lemons to Quiltaholic) and took my packages to the Mail Box and more store... and had to fork over an arm and a leg! aak! she told me that her prices fluctuate according to prices at the pump! What???

Well with the big oil spill in the Gulf - I didn't even want to imagine how she's increased her prices this year - so I took all 8 diaper boxes of Bingo Fabric to the USPS this year. In the end I had to pay $15 out of pocket - but I'd hate to think how much over I'd been if I had gone to the other place.

I'm not worried with the $15 David won't even blink an eye at that - doubt he even notices it on the checking account statement at the end of the month so no need to worry. I more than received that much in the generous hostess gifts along the way this year. Which by the way - THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!

I hope this year everyone enjoyed the daily mail call posts over here on the Fat Quarter Bingo Blog. I enjoyed posting each day and I will continue to do that again next year.

I hope to get some feed back from the winners to know if they liked getting yardage... vs FQs... that was a great way to celebrate our 5th anniversary don't cha think? Maybe... just maybe we can do it again...?

Well - I've gotta run - busy day here. MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) meeting today - the last of the school year... and then tonight my 2nd Quilt GUILD Meeting!!! Weee!

Thanks again everyone for letting me be your bingo hostess!!! I really enjoy everything about it and can't wait to do it again next year!!
