  I was the one who put the labels on my noodle fabric. I thought that you would want to know who sent it. My fabric was cartoon like animals - Moose, Geese, etc. I can't wait to get my noodles. I am patiently waiting..............so please hurry up!!

  Anna, a fantastic idea. Jean and I were trying to work them out on Friday, and wanted to know those that hadnt given a preview. We also want to be able to make note of where each comes from. Mine is the Australian animals on LIGHT background (was in preview photos). There is one the same but with a green background - dont know who sent it.

  My fabric for July, from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada was white polar bears on blue background, I think with ice flows. Everyone seems to think Canada is in the North pole, although it is 28C out right now, so I thought it appropriate. Couldn't think of any other local animal.
  My August is mostly green backgrond(leaves ) and pale mauve flowers.

  Hello Noodle Shufflers,
  Wow it is August already!! July shuffle is almost to an end, parcles are being received all over the globe. I have to admit it is nice to get a package in the mail, even better that each piece came from a different part of the World.
  
  This monthÂ's theme is International Floral/Flora. The size of the noodles is staying the same 4 ½ by 22 inches. If you are intrested in sending extra money for the international shipping, Joyce and I both want to thank you for your support.
  
  Members are able to start shipping their noodles to their hostess. If you are signed up and donÂ't have an address for your Hostess fell free to email us at
  noodleshuffle@creative-quilting.com
  
  It is time to start signing up for the September Shuffle. The theme is ChildrenÂ's prints. The noodles should create a great quilt for us to give at Christmas time or for that special birthday. If you are intrested in signing up for the September Shuffle please send an email to us at noodleshuffle@creative-quilting.com with your information.
  
  Need extra noodles? On September 1st we will be having our first Noodle Shuffle Auction! Yes you heard right! We will be having an auction for the left over sets of noodles.

  The auction will be held in a private chatroom. In order to get in you will need to visit the Noodle Shuffle Page before the auction is due to start. From there you will be given the instructions to the Private Chatroom.

  Anna,
  Mine was the platypus fabric, I think this is a lovely idea. I loved the label on the Canadian fabric, and was planning to include a note with my florals, as when I read the selve edge it tells you all the flowers are state emblems and I thought the ladies would be interested.

  I did not take part in July Shuffle, I have mailed my August Flora, like Anna it would be good to be able to identify where the Noodle came from.
  I did print off labels, Name of Flower, name of fabric,etc tacked label onto a noodle, had second thoughts, scraped that idea.

  Now that some people have their noodles shuffled back to them Im wondering how you feel about this idea.
  I would like everyone who participated to describe the fabric you sent in so the rest of us know who or at least where it came from. Some of us posted a picture of our fabric, but lots others dont have any way to do that.
  I would love to make note of all my lovely new friends in the project Im going to make so in years to come I can tell my great grandchildren, See this piece, it came from England from a lovely lady named,....
  How about it ladies?
  
  My fabric is the one with fawns, bunnies, racoons, red foxes.
  
  I love noodles

  Hi All, I just arrived home after nearly 3 days away, and the first thing I looked for was my special parcel. It was here waiting for me. So exciting!!! Thank you all for putting so much thought into your choice of fabrics. I have changed my mind about what I will do with them - a new idea is forming.
  Love the label. How great to have that to remember our first noodle shuffle. Makes it even more special.

  I am glad to hear that everyone is getting their noodles!! The excitement is felt all over the globe thanks to everyone that has joined the Noodle Shuffle!!
  
  I want to let everyone know that the wonderful tags that you go were from Joyce!!! She was so excited to be making the First Noodle Shuffle tags for each and every one of you!
  
  Some may never understand the joy, warmth, or excitement that a Quilter feels when getting that one special yard for that one special quilt. It is a wonderful blessing to be apart of the Creative Quilting Club. Were else but a Quilt Show, Guild, or Fabric shop can you enjoy the company of other Quilters. On Creative Quilting it is a pleasure to stay in the comfort of our own homes and enjoy a chat with other Fabric Admirers around the Globe. I have made some wonderful friends!! And memories that will last me a life time on here! And I just want to Thank Each and Everyone of you!! Creative Quilting.......would not be...If it wasn't for all of You!!
  
  So now that I have rambled on and on.
  Lets get thoes Noodles Shipped for next month. I look for this shuffle to go Realy fast!!!!!!!
  

Animal Question

• Animal Question - 2007-08-15 14:53:30-04
  Ok got a question for ya!!
  
  Did anyone that was in the July Noodle Shuffle see a new animal for the first time?
  
  Lets hear your story!!
  
  
  
  Here is mine:
  
  I have seen/heard of them all. But I have to admit that the Australian possum looks nothing like the American possum. Please take no offence.. but the look like a Badger/bat/possum/ant eatter mixed **B.O.L.**

  PJ,
  Are we going to re-use the envelopes? Joyce mentioned it. I thought I'd enclose a page of address labels, so she could just stick it over the one with her name on, save a bit of hassle.Let me know anyway, also how much extra to add for international postage. Thanks again for all your and Joyce's work.

  Hi all ,
  My noodles arrived today!! Haven't had a good look yet, got to get on with dinner first. Will admire them at leisure tonight. Did catch a glimpse of the label. What a great idea! Thankyou both, Joyce and PJ for all the trouble you have gone to.
  I'm away for a while,from next thursday, so I think I'll do the first Shuffle in the new year.
  Cheers,
  Elly

  They are all so very nice. Thanks to PJ and Joyce for all their work to bring us all together through a material swap, what a great idea.
  
  I will not be in the next shuffle but would like to do a christmas shuffle if we have one.
  
  Now to decide what to make

  Glad you have received your noodles. What fun. I am going to think about mine while away. Everyone else should get theirs today or tomorrow I would think, yours was in a quick envelope so you were first. Enjoy, when PJ says put the next lot in the mail and the Post office is going to hold my mail and I can then get it off quickly to US on the 1st Sept.

Re:Future Noodle Shuffle Ideas

• Re:Future Noodle Shuffle Ideas - 2007-08-13 01:57:32-04
  I agree with all that has been suggested, we cannot have Joyce P J out of pocket for extra postage.
  My first thought is that we do not want to spoil their fun of shopping for fabric, always a treat.
  The July Shuffle, the first, has shown up the pitfall and delights of a shuffle. Now successfully achieved.
  Somehow, I cannot think how, we need to build up a cash
  reserve for extra postage, without extra work for Joyce P J.
  Feel sure ideas will keep coming in.

They Came!!

• They Came!! - 2007-08-12 22:10:58-04
  I think my birthday came early!! We got home from a trip to the doctor in Ballarat which is an all day event almost to find TWO parcels. Firstly the noodles and my new John Watts quilting frame that I ordered at the quilt show a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't wait and opened the noodles immediately. Lovely, lovely., lovely, no 2 the same totally different, but they sort of blend. What does any one else think. I don't know what I'm going to do with them yet, think I'll have to lay them out after the kids leave tomorrow and just look for inspiration. Thanks so much to Joyce and PJ, you did a wonderful job. I got my floral for this month today too- a black background with waratah, Sturts desert pea, flowering gum, wattle orchids among others. I'm just so excited.
  
  Off to play now..

Re:Future Noodle Shuffle Ideas

• Re:Future Noodle Shuffle Ideas - 2007-08-12 12:48:20-04
  But if they (moderators)want to buy fabric to exchange as well, we could still put in one or two extra noodles each and do the auction or whatever is decided for the extras they already have. That way there would be on ongoing sale every month or so for the postage fund. But be careful how it is worded, because I know here you need a license for raffles etc, not sure how things work on the internet. I'm new to this type of thing.
  

Re:Future Noodle Shuffle Ideas

• Re:Future Noodle Shuffle Ideas - 2007-08-12 11:16:34-04
  Joy, I like your idea of putting the 2 extra in for Joyce PJ each month. So whatever the count would be just add the two extra. Nice thought for all their efforts. Suzyq
  

Re:Future Noodle Shuffle Ideas

• Re:Future Noodle Shuffle Ideas - 2007-08-12 10:53:52-04
  I just had a thought reading through all the noodle posts, what about if Joyce and PJ didn't have to buy fabric, we just put a strip for each of them. That would save them $40-50 (going on 2 mt @$20-25 mt) and that should help toward the postage. I know we'd get 2 strips less, but I'm prepared to settle for 26 instead of 28 etc . I think it's only fair that they shouldn't be out of pocket. I'm still prepared to put in a couple of dollars extra for postage if thats the way people vote.
