November Secret Pal Sign Up Closed

Oops. I typed a reply and hit the wrong button, making it go away, I think!!! I wanted to hit backspace, and must have hit delete. What a dufus I am... I got this idea from a friend and I copied hers. And anyone is welcome to copy or use whatever I post. I took a shortcut and did not put the thin batting inside of the fabric (3x4") on this one, and I'm sorry I cheated, because the tree is not as robust as I would like.. The only robust thing is ME, unfortunately. Anyway, these are fun to make and it's a mindless yet productive evening activity that relieves stress. Bonus - you use up scraps, and have inexpensive gifts for acquaintences (like at work) if needed. Oh, and you just use little straight pins, so you can arrange and rearrange easily. You could also try points, or narrower strips, or strips that have memories from the past, or hankies, or lace or you could do a color theme and sew beads on the strips for decoration. Maybe rick rack? The sky's the limit. Have fun, and I'd love to see what you come up with.

Moedeenie - So thankful you were not hurt. Growing up in upstate NY, I remember well the treachery of driving there in the winter.
Lori - Thanks for posting the photo of Marty and her quilt. Everyone did a beautiful job on their squares and I'm sure Marty is grateful for everyone's TLC.
To My Nov SP - Your package was sent via Priority Mail today. Hint - #1. It is headed to the only state in the USA whose flag has images on both sides. #2. Your state bird is the Western Meadowlark.
If you can't figure it out, you'll find out on Monday, I expect. I hope you like your goodies.
Still can't post my photo. Still trying.

Thanks Sharon Anne. I need a craft idea for my cousin and aunt to make when they are all here for Thanksgiving and I think they would love to make these. I've got plenty of scraps to use. Still not sure what to put on the top. But will figure out something and show you what we come up with.

I received my SP package from Toomanyufos. I received a beautiful piece of green fabric (my favorite color!), a pair of scissors (I was looking for a pair just that size last night!), a chicken pin cushion kit (I collect pin cushions), a Chicken Soup For The Soul book and a Purple Thang (I've been wanting one of those for a LONG time!) Dwina, you hit the nail on the head with everything. Thank you so much!!
