Annt59 That pink flower on tan is beautiful fabric. Love the old needle book too. Everyone is sending wonderful swaps.Please remember to send PM to Lori and thank your pal also. Lori does a wonderful job after lots of others having to quit for alot of reasons. Let's try to keep the good thing we have going.It does hurt when you send a package you put time and imagination and money into. Then not have anyone let you know they even recieved it.Lori thanks for doing a wonderful job so we can all enjoy being in this swap. Ok gotta go and get off my soap box.lol. Everybody have a wonderful day. Mary

the theory i want to try out is to include a piece of flannel backed tablecloth in the middle of the coasters to make them leak proof. i don't know how well this tablecloth vinyl will hold up in the dryer. the flannel backed table cloths that i saw and the $ store were very thin so i am thinking that this thin piece of 'vinyl" should hold up in the dryer pretty good. just wondering has anyone else tried the vinyl tablecloths in their coasters and if they dried them in the dryer how did the material respond?

I did spend time and effort, and I believed my package was worthy of a private comment. But I will move on, try again in July to please someone, and hope my next SP communicates with me.
Please check your inbox for pms dated June 18 -- I sent two to you that day and am really worried about why you didn't get them. Could it be the address shows up as Sharon Ann on the listing that pops up when I start to fill in the box? Is there a SharonAnne and a Sharon Ann???? If so, then Sharon Ann should have let me know it wasn't her. Maybe this is why it wasn't the first time you didn't get a notification. I was feeling guilty because it was a day and a half before I got to the computer after receiving the box -- usually I try to respond immediately after I open the package; but that happened to be the time I returned home after a three-week absence. I'm so sorry your feelings were hurt, but please let me know if you ever did receive the previous messages.
(And yes, it was a good trip "home" to Rochester to see my sister for the first time since she was diagnosed with Parkinsons last year. She's 72. I was happy to see that the disease is progressing very slowly with only a minimum of deterioration in her coordination since taking medication. She's slowing down, and doesn't have her normal stamina; but doing well in spirit. Hope she continues to hold her own and looks as good when I see her next year.)

Nancy I agree if someone got a thank you for something that they did not send send they SHOULD have let you know so you could have directed it to the correct person. Just bad manners IMHO.
