Me too!

:roll: :roll: :roll:

I'll be mailing my leaves tomorrow. Since this is my 1st fabric swap with this group I'm curious if any of you have already thought of a cute quilt to make with your layer cake. I'd love to know your idea's. I see that you swap every month. Are there some quilts any of you have made with your swaps?

I'm in the middle of 2 different quilts right now. I'm using squares from the stars & stripes swap and the blues and yellows swap. I should hopefully have pics to post tomorrow and then I'm starting on one with my blacks and whites hoping this weekend!!! :)

She posted future swaps on this link a while back, may want to double check with her to make sure she isn't changing it...

Hi y'all !!!

Sorry I've been Silent.. Been under the weather and lots of cleaning house- gettin rid of the clutter ...

I haven't been to the mailbox yet- I'll go today or tomorrow.. I like the fact that if I don't get the mail Everyday it's still safe and no one can get into my mailbox.. Being out in the country I always worried someone would see my mailbox crammed with packages and take them ! :shock: no more worries there.. Yay!

Just a reminder that the packages MUST be in hand no later than 10/19 - that will be the last day I pick up the packages at the po.. Till next month..

Happy quilting everyone!!

Nov is - Christmas fabs!!! Santa, elves, reindeers, snow,ornaments, candies, snowmen, anything related to Christmas holiday...

And the twist is secret Santa
Secret santa is a gift(s) totalling no more than $10. It MUST fit in a legal size envelope so nothing big.. (examples;needles , thread, patterns, fqs,chocolate, small templates, notions..)

It must fit WITH our swap baggies, right? It can't take up the whole space? sorry if its a dumb question lol :D

That is correct... it must FIT with YOUR sets.. something small and sweet would work and MUST be wrapped !!!!!! so pull out the holiday wrapping- your going to need it..

Life is crazy sometimes... You wake up and start your day not knowing what life is going to throw your way... I had a thought earlier- I really hate getting older- it seems the older I get the more loved ones I loose.... Can I turn back time please?

Today we lost my wonderful aunt 'Tia Clara'... She was the Hispanic version of Aunt Bea on The black and White TV show- Andy Griffith.. Remember that show? What a hoot... She was 86 years young and didn't have a hate bone in her body. She believed the best in everyone. She'd ask GOD to protect you as you were coming and going- Dios te vendiga.... She'd have food on the table for you before you had time to take off your coat and fed you before you could utter the word 'no thank you'...You would never leave her house hungry.. She was a god fearing woman but had you in stitches. She was in a hurry to get into the nursing home to flirt with the 'men'-She never made it tho- she would tease that she would find her 'boyfriend' there and she was sure he'd be a good one...

Well Tia- I miss you already... You will be missed forever and a day!

Thanks for letting me rant..

I will be out of town probably till the 19th.. if I'm gone longer Ill let you all know... Until then I will not be available.. You may contact YOSAMITESA if you need assistance - she knows how to get a hold of me if need be..

I'm here for ya!!! Hugs, prayers and lots of love for you and your family!!! Anything you need, I'm here holding down the quilting board fort!!! Hugs!

So sorry Luv. Will be praying for you and your family.

May God hold you extra tightly as you face the next days and months.

Thank you for sharing with us and letting us love on you.
Have a safe trip. Take care of yourself.

LUV I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I could feel your pain in your words. I can tell you loved her very much and she was a love. Go be with your family...God loves you as well as we all here do. Take care...Love & Hugs...Momma_K

So sorry for your loss, Luv. May your Aunt Rest in Peace.

How lucky to share an aunt so like Aunt Bea! Sorry for your loss.

Luv, sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. Your Aunt sounds like she was a wonderful, remarkable person.

Sorry for your loss.

Must ship priority mail now. After tomorrow, much ship overnight to luvTooQuilt's P.O. box. If you have questions or need the address, please PM Yosamitesa ASAP!
"I would like to have these in hand no later than 10/19/2011 (so with a post mark no later than 10/12/2011 that should give the USPS ample time to deliver with NO grace period.) After 10/12 PRIORITY is recommended. After 10/16, Mandatory OVERNITE shipping is required...remember that any packages received after 10/19 will be automatically returned unswapped."

So sorry about your aunt LUV, sending you lots of hugs.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Nothing is more important than family. You do so much for us, I hope you feel our hugs.

Prayers and BIG hugs from me too.

I am sorry for your loss. I understand your pain and hurt with you.

Hugs to you today!!!

Thank God today is just the 17th!! Mine should be there tomorrow...no later!! Hope LUVs spirits are a little higher. :-)

Sorry for your loss LUV, she sounds like a very special lady. Hugs for you

(my package shows "notice left" so hopefully it is waiting for you when you get back.

My package also says notice left. Hope you are having better days. (((HUGS)))

Lots of love and hugs to you today!!! If you need ANYTHING...lean on your quilt sisters!!! :)

Wish I knew if mine made it. Getting bad when you can't afford a simple .70 for conformation!! Ha!

Yosamitesa do you know how Linda is doing??

She is ok. She is making it. Between family, grieving, the wake and funeral. She should be home hopefully in a few days. She appreciates all the well wishes and love.

So sorry for your loss. Sounds like you have wonderful memories though. Take care.

Talked to her last night. She is doing alright! Through all of this she is supplementing quilting retail therapy. She should be back in the swapping game at the end of the week or the beginning of next week. Thank you everyone for being patient and understanding with her through this difficult time. :) Hugs and quilting sister love!

Thanks for keeping us updated Yosamitesa, tell her to take all the time she needs. This was obviously hard on her, tell her we love her and thinking of her....Take care of yourself too girl!! :-D
