A little note from your hostess

A couple of reminders to keep everyone happy and content ~

If you are going away for more than a day or two, please PM your partner to let her know. If your partner has been nice enough to send you a quilt, she'd like to know you received it without wondering if you are (a) off on a cruise

, (b) have been whisked away by a tornado

or (c) are very ill because your body has been taken over by an alien.

If life has intruded and you've been unable to get your quilt out on time, please let your partner know.

If you have and you're still stuck ... let her know again. And, if necessary, again after that. You might be really embarrassed

but silence is not an option if you don't want to hurt your partner's feelings.

So put on your big girl panties and 'fess up. Life happens. We all get that. Just communicate. Please.

Now as for the monthly theme ... It is always OPTIONAL

. If we are doing something really specific and you just don't feel up to the challenge, please communicate as much to your partner. It's OK.

We all have different comfort zones.

Just let her know so she is not surprised that you decided not to do the theme. It's OK as long as you communicate.

While it is nice -- repeat NICE -- not REQUIRED -- to ask your partner if she has any color preferences, it is -- one more time -- nice, but not required that she accommodate you. She actually doesn't have to ask and she is certainly not a member of your interior decorating team.

It is always sender's choice. So ... please do not specify a certain line of fabrics or a color palette you want her to use.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your creativity and enthusiasm!!! Carry on! Over and out.
