I got four cards today, whoop! Many thanks to Jaba, moonrise, dotcomdtcm, and barbarakiebler my personal favorite from each is in clockwise order starting from the top left. [ATTACH=CONFIG]554655[/ATTACH]

Also, all of my packages differ slightly from each other as much of the candies are cut up from scraps leftover, then some strips of my stash when those run low. You really are getting a fabric I use when you get my card! That's why my favorite from Jaba (purple dots) is my favorite! It's an old Cloud 9 print I'm running low on, in fact I'm using that fabric on a current quilt. Actually Jaba's package had two or three fabrics I've owned! Have a great week ladies!

Oh there is another sweet quilt shop in Holland just of 32. I Can't remember the name of it. Will trip to locate it. Nice selection of fabrics. A stop at Plainwell Ice Cream shop for homemade delights is Always a good treat to cool down with on a hot day. I have not been to Queen Bee but the rest are old friends. Was just at Quilts Plus on Saturday and I am a regular at Fields in Kazoo. Shop on and collect those row by rows.

I found it.....The shop in Holland is named Pressing Matters. Their address is 399 E. 32nd Street, Holland. Their phone is (616) 392-9700 and their row by row is a nice version of stars and stripes. I plan on stopping there when I visit Holland in couple of weeks. Such nice folks.

I enjoy seeing the birthday stashes all displayed with their cards! I really don't look at the squares - too busy looking at the cool cards. I don't want to overshadow someone elses gifts by displaying any individual squares, especially if it might not be in the sets they receive. Please do not expect me to post any "favorites" because I love them all! Again, please suit yourselves. I'll try not to peek at the pictures you may choose to post!

Love those little candies, Lee. The notepapers one is too cute.

I remember the first year I did this swap I would look through all my candy and wish they were samples I could order from!

BTW - I love the idea of posting pics of your favorite candy from each package. I took notes on the types of fabrics I received on my birthday to try to identify what the sender seems to like so I can try to send similar fabrics to them on their birthday. Some of you are easier to figure out than others .

For example, someone sent me mostly red and pink fabric so that's what I'm sending her way on her birthday. Someone else sent a majority of batiks so some of my batik stash will be going her way on her birthday. Someone else sent all Christmas fabric...got lots of my own Christmas stash to send to her on her birthday.

Why thank you! I thought it would be a way to show a bit of personality as well. I'm a modern girl, as you might be able to tell so far. Also, if one of my future favorites is a solid, that in no way means I didn't like anything else, I just really like solids! I look forward to seeing zozee' favorites too!

Immana---I like all kinds and colors of fabric. I am making a king size TRIP AROUND THE WORLD so I need all bright colors except brown. I hope that helps you.

"Candy bag" today in the mail came from CrispyFrog! Thanks! I opened a different one today--limiting myself to one, and I got two yesterday. I'll post pictures soon, I promise. I've been organizing and cleaning my sewing room for the past two days because we are having the house appraised tomorrow. Nothing like knowing someone will be taking pictures of every room to light a fire under the ole butt!

lol, at zozee, I've been trying to downsize for 10 months & cannot tell much difference, guess I need to light that same fire.
