Thread: February Secret Pal Swap Sign-ups - Closes January 31 at midnight

This is what we get for letting the post office raise the prices. I mailed two boxes and they are even on the same recipt. One to my SP and they said Monday and the other box to Harriet with 2 more quilts. They promised Sat. and it did not arrive. Now says it was delayed and is still in transit.

Received a swap package from cuppy yesterday! Lovely dog and food themed fabrics, heart-shaped cookie cutters, adorable spatula and brush set. and a package of lavender seeds (my favorite flowering plant!). The seeds are already put away for spring. Cuppy's card features Sharpeis- I raised one from a puppy and had him for over 14 years!

Many thanks,

Deborah (Gaijin)

Have4boys, that quilt top is amazing!!

SP CLUE: What comes before summer and after winter?
NOTE: I wanted to grab some things from the internet and my order might come late which means I might end up mailing on the last possible date I'm sorry for the wait.
on another note. I have been shopping online for fabrics and have not been sewing much these days. Since my gym session was canceled I decided to take out a pattern and trace it today ( have been sewing mostly knits/apparel lately) For anyone interested I will post photos below!! Also I have been itching to make a bag though and do more quilting! I am so afraid of zippers, they never come out good for me. I always mess up the ends. Can anyone relate?

Thank you! I have watched some youtube videos and I have even taken a class when we made zipper pouches. I just can never do it the same at home. I should sit down one day and take my time to re learn

Wow! Did you sew those amazing clothes? Very nice I like those kind of clothes and I have to pay a lot of money for them.

Thank you! I did make them. I have been making clothes lately rather than quilting but I enjoy both so much!

Very cute, frsur33! I especially like the lemon dress. You can sew for me anytime!

frsur33 I like garment sewing also. I just got a great pattern. See and Sew BG368 Easy one.

cuppy, Thank you I will check it out! Do you sew with wovens, knits both? I have been using from PDF pattern companies I like patterns for pirates the most. It's a little bit of a pain to buy online (with printing and extra tracing) but they have a lot of good resources and a great online community for support. I have gotten a few wovens in a mystery package, I'm afraid to use them!

I got my package today!! From Pam, thank you!!! A beautiful assortment of fabrics, a frixion pen!, cute bracelet, mini stitchery frames, matchox quilt and an adorable calendar tea towel I failed to add to the photo But it is so beautiful. I love it all thank you so much!

I sent mine to my SP today so hoping they will have it to play with by the weekend!

You are welcome Pamela, I read over the bio and stuff just kept falling from the shelves of my stash into this BOX. I actually had to buy the dog treats. They came from Chewy in the same box as my kitty food. I called them and said it was a Bishon ???? and that is what they suggested. I guess 9 out of 10 Bishons agree those are tasty.

SP, your package is on its way to you! Expect it on Tuesday. Hope you like it!

Hav4boys, that is amazing you are going to love it? Have you had one before?

Yippee!
Received a big secret pal package today! Thank you Gaijin! I received some fun camper fabric. We just bought a new 2019 Class C RV, and I think this would make a great picnic table cover. Also received some yummy FQs in a bundle of teals, blues ,grays, my favorites. Japanese clover pins, insulbrite, fun socks, lavender soap, A chocolate bar, and some doggy treats for Bingbing, our sharpei. Deborah, also sent me a pic of her sharpei, just love it. Thank you so much, We were secret pals for each other. What fun, thank you again.
