just write what your likes/dislikes are and go from there! Unless you really want some peanut M&M's...Or simply say, I like sticking with basic thread colors, or I am short on yellow in my stash...you don't need to say I am wanting EQ7..because that is like asking for world peace since our budget only allows $10 worth of gifts! :thumbup: you can do it..I know you can...I am asking for Spare Time...wonder if I will get any?? |
Here are some examples of the answers I am getting for the thing I want the most
fabric hand quilting templates patterns for paper piecing something hand made mug rugs FQs I think these are all pretty easy for everyone. |

Yes, allergies, allergens, and other health issues, like diabetes do play a role, but beyond that...really...QUILTING is all that should matter! |
Gday, I hate to tell you this but i have had the same 2 buddy's twice now. So anything can happen. It isn't a problem getting the same per person, it is remembering what you gave them the first time. I agree that it should be simple and enjoyable, sending things overseas becomes a challenge of what your are allowed and not allowed. But i still enjoy it. :)

Gday,
My Local Quilting Shop (http://www.patchworkpassion.com.au/) has just confirmed with me that they can issue Vouchers for any swappers from overseas. It is just a matter of a credit card pymt and they will hold the voucher until i or someone collects the voucher. Not everyone might like this idea and not everyone has a local quilting shop near them, but it is the best way for some things. It also supports your LQ shop. Thanks for listening. |

This sounds so interesting. How do you sign up for the swap?

The link for the swap is:

Lori - I haven't read through all of the pages, has any one brought up if secret pals would like to receive "used" quilting magazines?

oh.. another thought - what size blades does your rotary cutter take?
