Welcome home. Take a day or two to reorient yourself before working on the swap. By the way what are we swapping for November? I forgot and want to start stashing up on fabric before it is too late.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

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..)

Luv- just caught up with the topic- So sorry to hear about your Tia {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Thank you. That is what I thought but had to make sure. Off shoping next week for fabric.

You swapping yet or still loving on the fabrics???

They are in groups but haven't swapped yet..

This is for either Linda or Cindy as you bother used the same phrase...have the squares in groups ready to swap...What do you mean by this? This whole process fascinates me so just curious.

Mary Ellen

[quote=marybrace]I wondered that too. Groups? Like one pile of leaves and one pile of vines? Or um..... Scary bump in the night stuff and cute bump in the night stuff????

:shock:

Stop rolling around in the pretty fabrics like it is money and get them swapping woman!!! I sent you chocolate, what else do you need??? LOL! HUGS!!!

You heard her - GET TO SWAPPING :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You are wise to use the 10.5 to 11 inch size squares. It gives one a lot more flexibility than the 10 inch squares do.

Our group used to swap "10-inch" squares - kind of hard to get four five-inch squares out of a skimpy 10-inch square.

From your description of the swapping process - Sukoku with fabric.

:lol:

Hey now.. Be nice or Ill mail yours LAST !!!! :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD: :XD:

Us - Be Nice :?: :?: :?: :?:

Are you kidding :?: :?: :?:

We are on the top of Sanra's NICE list :roll: :roll: :roll:

Now off the board and on to swapping :roll: :roll: :roll:

Ummm...what is a Sanra's?

You are all so fun! :) :) :)

It's what happens when a "senior" moment attacks the computer keyboard. :-( :-( :-(

Now in a more lucid moment - ( Which by the way are short lived these days.)

We are on Santa's Nice list :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Uhm, not sure SANTA will be happy if you cant spell his name right !!!

that in itself might be an automatic NAUGHTY list !!!



AHAHHAAHAHAHAAAAAAA you on the naughty list !!! Na na na naaaaaaa naaaaaaaaaa....

You better watch out - I'll send a giant lump of coal in the next swap :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Now get the PACKAGES taped :!: :!: :!:

Hey, I have a question. On the secret Santa thing, I know the limit is $10.00. BUT what if we find a good bargin on something that is normally say $15.00 and we can get it for 50% off, is that ok? I mean not being cheap but it's a good price for something I know I can use and need and sure someone else would too. I can even get something else to make the whole Gift add up to $10.00 but was just wondering about the half off deal. Follow me?? If not it's ok, I can hardly follow myself at times!! :-)

Do it!!! And throw in a chocolate bar and call it good...just my NICE opinion. :D

I'd do it .... :)

I'd do it .... :)

Oops

HA HA HA HA HA!!! You're on the NAUGHTY list... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Better be careful...luv might enjoy some coal for those colder winter nights. :D

I would definatly do it. I belonged to a monthy swap where each month we sent a gift to another swapper. We were instructed that we could send fabric from our stash, fq's, magazines, small quilting books, also things that we made ourselves, which with our time would certainly be worth more then how much we were allowed. I received some very interesting things and was very happy with the swap.
So much fun!

Luv do you have a fabric list for me to work on while I'm shopping. I'm planning ahead for next year :)

January is STASHBUSTERS!!! Woo hoo...sadly I'm buying stuff now so it will technically be in my stash come January. :)

Ooooo I can do that!!

Well luv I was feeling sorry for you when everybody was telling you to get busy and get to work swapping and one even mentioned sending you chocolate to help you......to help you, I ate 2 pieces of chocolate because "friends don't let friends eat chocolate alone'. Hope it gave you strength to work a few minutes.

HaHa I need a friend like you :)

LOL!!! Chocolate is a must for some of the swapping. For me, it is during the sorting into groups and then the packaging up. I HATE those parts, but I love swapping around the fabric and feeling all the love from everyone!!! :)

Now that is what friends are for :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks a lot ladies!! Thats what I was hoping to hear. Now, is it ok to ask does anyone have any special requests for anything particular? It may give us some idea on what to get. Of course we don't know who gets what but you stand a pretty good chance of getting something you can use....but first...I think LUV needs to say it's ok to do this...I think. I'm tired and trying to make this understandable...Ha! ;) :lol:

Im good with it.. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

It has to be wrapped so I cant tell what it is either.. . :shock:

I totally understand you, but I'm deliriously tired too... That said... I really want one of those little thread/trash cloth bags that hangs/sits off your table. But it probably won't fit in the package size so a pattern would work. :). I'd also like cute pins and cute fabric and pretty thread and oh anything. HaHa

Yup.. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Glad we have her !!!!

We should leave them all unwrapped so Luv can pick her fav!!!! HaHa >:)

Ok LUV, not a problem!! I wish I was rich, I'd send something for everyone!! ;-)
