ok got my SP address have already started with my package, glad the things I have gotten seem to fit right into her profile.

verna2197 02-01-2015 09:21 PM

Got both of my names and have already gotten the packages almost ready. Need to do a little shopping tomorrow then they are going into the mail.

Sp 1 from your town came Nascar Drivers, Olympic Gold Medalists, NBA Players and Actresses, your town is very close to water. I do believe that you are new to this swap, you will love it, I have been doing it for a couple years now. Everyone on here is so awesome!!!!

SP 2 your city is 35.16 sq miles, became a township in 1857, more males than females in your town and you have a lake within the city. I also have had you before.

Or me - we have snow too!

Bullock2us 02-02-2015 08:39 AM

Got my name too- I don't believe I have ever had her before.

Nancy in Louisiana 02-02-2015 08:52 AM

I just did a "member search" for my SP for additional info and no profile was found. I've had this SP fairly recently and was hoping to find some more hints for different ideas. Member profiles are a useful tool for getting to know your SP a little better. It also saves having to fill out the "Additional Info" part of the monthly questionnaire each time. Please consider visiting your profile on the board to see if you can add some useful info. I think we all want to send items that will be useful and more personal to each individual.

quiltnut4ever 02-02-2015 09:29 AM

Got my SP name and I've not had her before so this will be fun!

hav4boys 02-02-2015 10:01 AM

hmmmmmmm... have not got my name yet.

Anoka Quilter 02-02-2015 05:13 PM

Got my SP name and I am looking forward to putting together a box for you. You are new to this swap and live to the west of me.

I have a lake across the highway from my house and you were recently my SP in December. Could it be me:wave:

cuppy 02-03-2015 07:02 AM

Secret Pal, your package will go to the Post office today.

Quilty-Louise 02-03-2015 09:05 AM

I am still gathering goodies for my SP. Hope to ship out by Monday
at the latest.

Lori Peercy 02-03-2015 10:52 AM

Sitting this month out, like I did last month. Please sure to send me a message when you mail and when you receive your package! Love to see the pictures of the packages so try to post them if you are able. Thanks.

AlvaStitcher 02-03-2015 12:49 PM

Hmmmm....think I know who might have me. Hint for my secret pal: She probably has a very strong accent and she is bonnie!

That wasn't much of a hint then. LOL

Hint two - You are closer to California then New York.

Is that better??????

Sorry Knitette. Its not really near Scotland either.!!!!!

Quilty-Louise 02-04-2015 08:38 AM

I am trying to work hard and get my package out by
Monday at the latest. My SP didn't include much info
about likes/dislikes, so I am having to "wing" it and
hope that she likes what I send her.

It is snowing here today which I am NOT happy about.


Now some of you might know that my daughter is pregnant
with my first grand baby. She is now 30 weeks, and on
every 2 week Dr. visits. Her latest visit was yesterday
and it seems that Zack has went on a MAJOR growth
spurt in the last two weeks. He is measuring at 34 weeks.

Tina will have another ultrasound in 2 weeks to see how
he is doing, but the Dr. told her yesterday that at the rate
he is growing that they will not let her go to full term.

That means that Zack may end up being born in March,
and not April.

So now I MUST hurry and get busy FAST and make stuff
for her and him.

Maybe Maybe Not

verna2197 02-04-2015 10:08 AM

ok Sps your packages went out today. They should be delivered by the 8th is what the PO is saying. Hmmm wonder what happened to the 2 day Priority Mail that we pay for?


Sorry I lied, delivery date is the 6th. Helped once I put my glasses on. LOL

Lori Peercy 02-04-2015 11:21 AM

Quilty=Louise tell your daughter March 13th is a wonderful day to have a baby (my birthday)!

homecaregiver 02-04-2015 12:52 PM

I have received my SP name and have started on filling it. One thing sp, I have ordered something for you but I had it sent direct to you so if may receive it before you receive your Swap box. Hint------ you live north west of me (I think) I do not remember if I have had you as a swap partner before. Your info sheet was very helpful and informative. I see you have 4 legged pets more than 1. You have been sewing for a long time. Hope these hints keep you all wondering. Hope to get the package out soon but with all the snow we have (16-19") on the ground and very cold temps and snowy icy roads) I will do my best. Take care all.

Oksewnsew 02-04-2015 04:33 PM

HMMMM, could that be mine?? Let's see, I'm West of you, have more than 1 4 legged pets, and have been sewing a looong time... Those are some pretty good hints, Pat...lolo I wish we had the SNOW...Frigid front moved in this afternoon, wind chill in teens, but no snow tho...38 tomorrow, 75 on Saturday!!! Geez.

Mine is in the making. It will go kinda sorta NE of me, in my old stomping grounds kinda. I have been there before. Your favorite candy is also mine, and I feel the same thing about your dislike...lol

quiltnut4ever 02-04-2015 04:51 PM

Louise,
Oh my its right around the corner! Lori you said March 13th, my brother's bday is that too! So Louise if your grandbaby is born that day it sure will be a blessing. Actually its a blessing no matter when he is born and I love the name Zach!

None of the clues fits me so I'll keep looking for any that do. i'll be posting some clues for my SP as soon as I get home!

heronfan 02-04-2015 06:42 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm a little late responding but wedding issues have become a priority. My box is finished except for one item that might have to wait until I return. My SP is from a state that "Makes a little lovin'
A little turtle dovin'.

TPr9258 02-04-2015 08:46 PM

Just have to get a box for my "stuff" and a few things as filler was hoping to get out by Monday but going to snow here in Jersey Sat Sun Mon Tues so might not make it until tuesday. Cant imagine any more snow around here have about 3 foot, on ground already but guess cause I live on the the side of bunny ski slope it what keeps my enjoyment during the winter, light the fire sit in recliner try alittle hand quilting and watch the mommies and daddies teach the little ones the art of falling down.

TPr9258 02-04-2015 08:55 PM

lets see if I can stump a couple of my new quilting friends about who my SP is--we live on opposite sides of the USA, we seem to have more things uncommon then in common, she drinks coffee I drink tea, I am a fairly new quilter she has been doing it for a long, long time, her favorite color is my least favorite color. So does anyone have any ideas who my SP is? lol

Knitette 02-05-2015 08:32 AM

It's off! You live in a state that I think has escaped the snow. I've had you before and have bought you something to do with your name. :)

AlvaStitcher 02-05-2015 05:38 PM

My SP's package went in the mail today. You live in a small village with not many stores for shopping opportunities.

Vitality 02-05-2015 07:17 PM

If you are my secret pal then you should keep an eye on your email…. you have something on the way!

verna2197 02-06-2015 04:49 PM

If you are my SPs then you should check your mailbox or porch they were delivered today!!!!

Lori Peercy 02-06-2015 06:17 PM

Don't forget you have to send me a message to let me know that you have mailed your package out. That way I know that you have fulfilled your commitment. You also need to send me a message when you receive so that I know your secret pal has fulfilled their commitment. It's not just because I'm nosey or mean.

hav4boys 02-06-2015 06:39 PM

Could be me. I have many pets an have been sewing since I was 7. 38 years.

Anoka Quilter 02-06-2015 11:42 PM

To My SP.....I placed an online order to your address from sewforless.com. If you do get a strange and ususual package then it is from your SP. However, SP do not fear there is another package coming your way.

Well look here! I was out of town Friday and yesterday and my husband just told me this afternoon that a package had come for me and he placed it in the sewing room.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]509345[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]509348[/ATTACH]

Look at all the goodies that were in the box. Fabric, chocolate, applique pins, rotary cutter blades, heart pin cushion, 2 books (some of my favorite authors too Verna), homemade soap sample, bag of coffee, tea bags, embroidery scissors, spring clamps and lip balm! Thank you so much Verna.
This was my first swap and it was fun. Not sure I can do this every month because of the expense but will as I am able.

I forgot to mention that Verna also sent doggie biscuits for my dog, Lucy. Here she is guarding them. LOL
