Hey all -
Some of you were asking last month how I manage to get so much for the $10 I am allowed to spend. In addition to hitting the buy one get one and $1 fat quarters at the quilt shop, I buy large packages of things and split them up. One of my favorite things to send, as everyone seems to like them whether they've asked for them or not, are the clover wonder clips - well I hit on a great deal today and I thought some of you who said you've been wanting a big box might want to know.
They are normally around $30-$36 and amazon.com has them on sale today for $12 for the box of 50! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I LOVE those wonder clips, I send a few to most of my sp's that I get
just in case they never tried them before.
But I pretty much do the same thing you do.

I so hope I'm your SP reeskylr, I'd take all that "P" you want to send me. Have read both my SP's requests wants, dislikes, etc. will start avidly tomorrow. 1 has alot of info for me and the other left a bunch of questions unanswered, guess I'll have to stalk or guess.

Got my SP and this is going to be fun! Before I give out clues I went to the Naples Quilt Show today and had a wonderful time. Many nice and beautiful quilts and I did take photos, they're in my camera but will post them soon.Ok for clues now:
1. you always get snow
2. I lived N of where you are now back in the 80's
3. One of your colors is one of my favorite.
We are going to be in the low 40's tonite so I'm going to sleep soundly since I had a long day! Nite everyone oh and btw, Krystyna wonderful news that things are coming together for you and your family and Lori glad you're feeling much better. Quilty-Louise those clover wonder clips are awesome. I got the pkg of 50 on sale and will also provide some SP's with some!

Hmmm, been trying to come up with a couple clues, but not give my SP too much info...
1. She's very funny
2. Makes me laugh
Krys, alas, it is not you, you make me laugh and cry! Glad you got some good information, so sad for your community. Crocus are tough little buggers and so are you, hang tough!

K what about Phoenix, rising up from the froth of Sandy?
Never heard of or seen a fabric Stof...
I don't have a fancy stiletto yet, so far I have been using an orange stick. So feel free to send me one ...
Love to see your snow pictures, we don't often get that much at a time-a few years ago though we got 20 inches in 24 hours, it started on Friday (got home from work ok) and snowed for most of Sat. luckily I didn't have to go anywhere on Sat, and spent hours on Sunday digging out the car, parking area and alley I would need to drive out of on Monday, one nice thing about being on the corner.
Ladybug...[needles the sewing machine are always needed a 45 mm blade is needed..] this reminded me of a time my SP listed she needed some 45mm rotary blades so I got them for her. When she posted she received her pkg, she commented that she got the blades now she needed to get the handle. It left me a bit confused.
Q-Louise, I almost had all of your clues, no pet, have a fav author with 3 names(not sure if she is the same one you are referring to), but I struck out with fab. color as I like all of the colors, and like way too many to have a favorite. But I'd love to stop over and shop with you.
I Love the table runner -was it grandma peg that made it? Sorry it was too many pages ago and I didn't write down notes.
So here is a clue for my SP- It is someone I have not had before but you live in a state that someone sent to me from. So my sp in NOT international.
Sometimes I print out my SP questionaire or make notes but I also put in capital letters the MAIL BY date.
Speaking of questionaires Lori what about having a "do you hand quilt ? Maybe you can consolidate the do you have a cat or dog and the do you have pets question, or add a do you have any pets as part of it. Is it separate because of allergies?
