Sorry, I won't be able to participate this month. My Daughter is having back surgery, so Momma will be traveling to Ohio to provide some rehabilitation assistance. On a side note, I'll be able to cuddle on those Great Grands! A bittersweet reason for travel!
I'll be back in May!

Count me in again, sent you, my info.

Bless you Brenda. Praying your daughter's back surgery will go well. Hugs, Anna

I am in and send my information.

Hi Everyone,

I'm in..... will send details to Kathy later today. Brenda, so sorry to hear your daughter needs surgery.... but you get cuddles from the grands as payment for your help..... and that is a good deal to me - LOL. Sending best wishes for your daughters speedy recovery.

Hugs

My secret pal package went out yesterday. Enjoy! As always I had fun putting the package together. I did have to look up somethings as I was not familiar with some of the quilting items.

Putting my package together. Hoping to mail on Friday. I like to make things to include, and life has been so busy.

I ordered some specific colors of fabric for my pal because I didn't have any good ones in my stash to pass on. I hope it arrives this weekend!

Thank you!
 

I received a delicious package of lovely fabrics from Log Cabin 82! Two bundles of coordinating fabrics and multiple white on whites.

Many, many thanks!

Deborah aka Gaijin

So happy you liked the goodies including the apron, you wanted sharp snips, and these are pretty sharp, enjoy.

Big thanks!
 

I received a nice package from our hostess Kathy! It had some bold and colorful flower print fabric as well as a larger piece of small print flowers. There were glass head pins and a new pair of scissors too. A square ruler was also included. And there were a couple of prints that will work for my Chinosorie collage vases.

Thanks again Kathy!
