Can't wait to see who my partner is!!!!!!!!!!:D

LOL Jan,

If you only knew just how much sewing/quilting stuff I actually
have. But mostly I have fabric...... tons of fabric.
What I do is anytime I have half yard cut of fabric I turn it into
fat quarters hence where about 80% of them comes from.
If I buy a remnant of fabric that is over half yard, but smaller
than a full yard, I cut it down to the half yard and than into the
fq, putting the rest in to the scrap bins.

As for the thread I sent to K, well that is the embroidery thread
I bought when I got my first embroidery machine over 5 years ago.
But when I got the new emb. machine I decided to which the brands
of thread I am using on my machines (because the new thread works
better for me).

Well, if it's any consolation, you're not mine either.:eek:

MaryMo 04-23-2012 03:41 PM

I think I am confused. This is the first time that I have participated in this swap. I send 5 FQ to the person whose name I received, but does that person also have my name? Can I choose any 5 FQ that fit the theme (in this case "Spring") or 5 FQ that could be used together in a project? Thanks!

The person you have will NOT have you, and yes, you pick 5 FQ's that has a "Spring" theme. :)
