Brat,
I didn't say I was cutting back on swapping, but I'm cutting back on buying fabric...maybe...kinda...sorta...
I did think I was going to have to skip your mug rug swap this month due to dh's upcoming 2nd leg surgery (was scheduled for the 7th).
But hubby has bronchitis and a sinus infection, and the orthopedic surgeon won't operate if the patient has had any type of respiratory infections within 2 weeks prior to the surgery date. I can understand, what with general anesthesia, but now it's up in the air again.
We don't have another surgery date yet. I'm assuming (I know, never assume) that it will be towards the end of this month.
So, now I have time to mug rug make...lol..

Happy 2015 everyone!
Kif

well then we are lucky campers Kiffie. I am sorry your dh go sick. I just read through the boom swap and darned it sounds like that flu is everywhere. its awful! It wont live here in Wy I am convinced of it. its too friggen cold! well no one in dialysis has it yet.. maybe its just slower getting here. Jan (Jaba) sounded like maybe she was about to come down with it yesterday. and she lives in WYOMING gulp! oh no! don't get sick Jaba!! we need you! to not get sick! crossing fingers for her.

I am about ready to end the swap here. Please sign up if your interested at all! its fun! its creatively wild to see the combos that come up and I am hoping everyone is happy with what they shall receive! so PM me if your interested last day for sign ups! then I will post all the partners and we shall see the exciting fabrics received! remember its pinks! reds! whites! hearts and roses! floribunda galore! checks and stripes! this is going to be such a bright happy swap I cant wait to see it.

and don't forget next month we are swapping one yard of our ugliest fabrics with each other. one never knows what the other thinks is ugly. I have done boom swaps for a couple years now. I have seen fabric that I thought omg how awful only to discover it made a really nice block when mixed with other fabrics so you maybe surprised. you may also get that wwf of wresting fabric which might scare the living daylights out of you. you just never know :)

I have some fabric ready, but waiting to see if my partner has any particulars that might make me change the selection :)

A yard of it, eh?? I'll have to dig, mine are all FQ;s. Hmmmm, pondering. I know, I could sew them all together to make a yard, works??? Probably Not. Now I'll have to clean the sewing room. Ughhhh. That could take awhile. And u want it when??? Next Christmas???

I have some lovely Valentine Fat quarters ready for my partner, maybe some white chocolate, That is what I like.

I will get this list up after clinic this morning so watch for it! oh wait white chocolate! did I read WHITE CHOCOATE um...YUM. love that stuff. when I was a kid and they had big easter bunnies and everyone was looking at the chocolate ones... I was wishing for that white one. Oh they were oh so much prettier lol. Now I look at them and think they sorta look the same :) too much candy! but good memories of that. yes yes I do :) wonder if they makelicorice bunnies? wouldn't that be marvelous! now that I would buy . the biggest one I could get :)

ps contemplating this sorta wobbly brick type fabric with peach and blue and pink in it.. its stunning. you will love it. I sure don't! for the ugly swap.. then again I have this black fabric with huge flowers on it.. sorta different modern looking but what was I thinking when I bought it??? I have pets! all that block and the cat hairs. too bad I don't have a yard of that day of the dead fabric left. oh man I sure hate that one! next month will be fun but this month is going to be oh so pretty! can't wait!

oh heck with it just made the prelim list. if you have been left off please let me know asap! otherwise here is the list!

Sewellie and Pegin Co. (maybe space between the words peginco)
Deflker and Mrstheo
rosemary attaway and trishb
oneteapot and jeanne49
peginco and wmuteach
vitality and letsquilt
kiffie2413 and cuppy

ok let me know if I missed you!

Just sent my partner a message, I will be ready to send Monday.

I sent my partner a PM. Waiting on one more swap, then to the LQS.

Just made contact with my partner. I think this will be fun, we have some same likes and dislikes. Will mail on Monday.

Cuppy and I have been in contact...and white chocolate will be found for her. :thumbup:.

Hubby and I both got our flu shot, but this year for some reason it seems to only be working about half the time. So far Mom and I have dodged the bullet...

Licorice?? YUCK! When I buy Jelly Bellys I take the ones I don't like to my lqs, just about everyone there tussles with each other to get those nasty black licorice ones. Gee-Rosssss!!!

I have some extra Valentine fqs, if anyone wants to side swap...

Off to finish getting ready for my extended family Christmas get together. Everyone's been sick or out of town, so we're doing a January 3rd party. It snowed all night, and is still snowing. So family may have to travel in a "1 horse open sleigh" to get here the way it drifts out here in the boonies ..

Kif

Linda, you have PeginCO's name down twice. Did she want to do two?

Good catch, klaws! I only signed up for one...maybe that was supposed to be Jaba's spot? If you need to keep me there, that's fine. I have enough fabric. Either way - just let me know.

Ellie,
Nothing wrong with me that a good psychiatrist couldn't fix...:p
But in the case of licorice, what's wrong with YOU?? ;)

Poor lil Ellie went in search of licorice jelly belly,
Finding her container bare,
But her QB friend Kiffie
Wasn't too spiffy,
As there's no licorice left to share.

Hugs,
Kif

Mrs. Jaba,
I have extras, if you want to swap let me know:thumbup:
Kif

Pegin if you would like to gift Jaba one of your partners please do so asap! she is getting ready to leave town and needs a name asap otherwise she wont be able to swap. Lucky lady is about to go on a CRUISE out of Florida. wow doesn't that sound lucky right about now? she is going to run far from the snow I wish it was me carrying her bags! sneak right along like a passenger for sure. I love cruises. Man, the food is so good the excursions always fascinate me and well the joy you feel all around you. Everyone is happy on those things! movies, shows, casino's.. yup its a good time.

I think the colors of this swap will be a fun thing to see so remember to take photos of what you share and also what you receive. let your partner post the receipt of their fat quarters but if she cant? well you post them for her. tada! everyone is happy and WE get to see those fabrics!

bullock2us contacted me, her name wasn't on the list either, so we are swapping. Sending tomorrow.

Oh, my, Kandy. Among other things you are a poet too. hahaha Guess I'll go to the store and buy some black licorice. Costco has big containers of "the black stuff." Jelly bellies are so good too. Don't want to go out in the cold, but have to cause I'm making orange chicken stuff in the crock pot. Hmmm, pondering. :)
Love you too and I am trying to compose an email for you that's an update of what's going on here. Please be patient with me, you, Sheri and Linda & a couple others deserve an update too.

I can not find any information on my partner Mrstheo. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have my fat quarters ready to go!
Thanks ~ Dorothy

I do have more if anyone else is interested in swapping. Just PM me- I love to swap -

Sounds like Jaba is happy. (Have a GREAT trip!) So I have contacted my other partner and am looking forward to the fun!

Enjoy that cruise Jaba!

Bullock2us,
I have extras, if you want to swap.

I have a question, I have my fqs ready to mail, but I'm going through "Grammy's Fabric Shop" and am wondering, do these Hoffman metallics seem Valentine-y? Sorry, pic is dark, even with flash, my Kindle just doesn't show the pics as bright as they really are.
I have so many different fabrics. I don't make New Year's resolutions, but this year I'm thinking I'm going to TRY not to buy any fabrics or kits unless I have a specific project that I don't have fabrics for (doubtful, but I have to have a lil "out" ;))
I know some people don't love novelty, just wondering about these kind of fabrics:

For my partner, let me know..

I tried searching through all the M's, I couldn't find anything either..
Not sure if Brat has dialysis today..if so, she'll probably pm you info tomorrow.
Regards,
Kif

Dorothy, could this be your lady?

Karen, you're too good to me.
Thanks Bunches!!!

Kandy, if your partner doesn't want them, I do. But only if they come with licorice something. hahah (Just joking about the licorice --NOT!!!

Miss Ellie

What kind of fabric would you be looking for in a swap?? I, too, love to swap and you are great to swap with. Just let me know and I'll see if I have anything.

Ellie,
You're too much, girl!!
My partner prefers strictly Valentine's fabrics, so I'll be leaving her pkg as is. I have way more than 4 of them, so plenty to send just Valentine's. I just got to thinking (scary) some like reds, pinks, etc and not strictly novelty fabrics... So, no more thinking for me..lol

Klaws,
Now how did you find her?? I guess I don't know the alphabet as well as I thought I did...;)
It's great you were able to figure it out!
Kif

Well....I wondered why I hadn't heard about partners and realized I forgot to subscribe to the thread. Now I see I don't have a partner so I hope kiffie is still up to being mine and anyone else who likes pink and gray. :D and I forgot to post that picture so I'll do that in the morning lol. Oh....I always buy a yard of fabric so I'll have enough for two more swaps besides kiffie and a spare set for me. Leeeeet meeeee knoooooow :D

SheriR,
I've been waiting to hear from you...of course I'm always up to being your partner!! :thumbup:
Do you want all Valentine's or a mix of Valentine's and reds/pinks, etc??
Kif

Yipeee! You know I'll be happy with anything you send. I'm just happy to swap. I think I'm like the FQ Queen!!!

Kiffie, I just went to Advanced Search, put in "Mrs" in the user name and unclicked exact name. It brought up all names that just have Mrs in it. There was a lot but not as many if you went to only the M's.

I didn't have a clue to try searching that way. Thanks for the info, and good work :thumbup:
Kif

Thanks for all the offers ladies but I better stop on the swaps for this month. Lots to do before we leave,but watch out next month. Maybe a little luck of the Irish for the theme?

Here area pinks/grays/Valentine. I can do two more sets if any ones interested. :D

Oh, Sheri! Me, me! I will pm you!

Sewellie.....maybe I can do something about that licorice shortage of yours. :D
