Glad you like everything

Sending my Secret Pal's package out this morning. It's headed a bit to the north and east. As the crow flies, going from Natalia, TX where I live now to Albany, NY where I used to live I would go through the far north west part of your state! Are you my secret pal?

This should be posted under Jan SP, but it wasn't opened until very late in the month and I wanted to be sure to share with everyone. Aussie Croyden sent me a wonderful pkg with fat quarters and fun patterns, machine needles, thread samples, calendar, and craft mag. I had lots of fun going thru the pattrns in the mag, and the pattern packets are just crying out for me to try. Thanks again for a great package.

to my SP, Have you figured it out yet?? I mailed the rest of your package today and the delivery date is Wed. Feb 11 so be on the watch. Hoping you enjoy everything.
Pat

I miss putting a package together, was on vacation and the sign ups were closed by the time I got home:( I'll follow the thread and wait for next month.

I received 2 envelopes in the mail yesterday that had white fabric.

Not sure if this was from my SP or not because there was no card,
or note.

Will post pics tomorrow if possible.

My parcel has been sent and it is going to someone who lives near some mountains.
And I guess they may have snow on them at this time of the year.

yes I am your secret pal. Love everything you sent. The buttons look vintage, really like them

A big thank you to Linda R for all the wonderful gifts you sent. The quilted bag, the orphan blocks and the bright fabric will all be used real soon ! The Farmhouse Quilt book has house patterns that I want to try and the redwork embroidery pattern looks like fun. Of course, I've already sampled the chocolates !
Thanks again for everything !

I received from sewnsew lots of red fabrics, cool fabric labels, a journal, a really nice ergonomic seam ripper! I also got some seeds to plant, chocolates, heart cookie cutters, zippered pouch, and more goodies. Thank you Pat. Wonderful package.

My mystery packages have been figured out.

Today I got a totally awesome box from Pat aka homercaregiver.

You all just wouldn't believe the load of fabrics in purples & yellows.
I mean a 2-1/2 gallon sized zip lock bag full!

Plus the 2 envelopes of premium muslin that came in earlier
this week.

Also in this box was a family size box of decaf tea bags, I only
buy this kind of tea for myself to brew iced tea. Even got some
of the Thread Heaven conditioner, a pack of 100/16 size needles.
Some mixed nuts and trail mix inside a gold bag.


Now for the pictures of my huge haul.

Sorry I have not been here this month been really busy. I just want to let my SP know I sent your package out to day you should have it Fri. or Sat.. I forgot to put a card in package it was so full trying to get the box closed when I realized I had not put the card/candy. So look on the box to see who it's from. Hope you can use all I sent. Will be sending card and candy in a other package. But will be Wed. before you will get it.

my Sp package went out today should be arriving on Friday sent priority mail. Was going to send out on Monday but Jersey got ice and snow AGAIN, enough is enough for this year, then on Tuesday my mom (who has pancreatic cancer) was rushed to hospital for emergency surgry, but is now home and comfortable. Hope you enjoy your gifts, the gingerbread mix for you to make is my favorite and its to drink with your favorite drink "got Milk" lol enjoy

your very welcome....enjoy

To my SP, your package #2 was mailed out today. Hint, your zip code totals 22.

To Verna, who had me as her SP I will be posting pictures later on this evening of the wonderful package I received from her.

My package is winging its way north today.

You may be forgiven in thinking that AlvaStitcher bought out her LQS - what a parcel! Everything I said a liked - and more! Fabric cuts, Fairy Frost, batiks, Fat Quaters, patterns - including McKenna Ryan and Halloween, pattern DVDs, needles, buttons (my most wanted) in a cute felt bag and a Kwik Klip. What can I say - a truly overwhelming generous parcel. Thank you so much!

Ermagerd. I have button envy ;)

Knitette, So glad you received the package and all things are to your liking. It was fun to put the package together especially since you were so specific in your tastes. When I revised my profile, I couldn't think of some of the answers but maybe now I can revise it again. LOL

I received a wonderful package from MaryC13. Loads of fabric, including a large piece of orange (my most wanted); a large heart in textured fabric which is now gracing an end table as a table topper; variegated thread; eyeglass case, which is most appreciated and will live in my truck to protect my sunglasses; a case to hold my rotary cutter and other notions, and a monthly calendar/notepad, and Reisen -- which you will notice is open and half gone. Thank you so very much, Mary.

AlvaStitcher, is your avatar a cat pincushion? So cute! Do you know where I can find the pattern? Thanks.

Belfrybat, Thanks and yes it is a pincushion. I made this several years ago for a pincushion swap on another forum. I came across a pic of it and decided to use as my avatar for a while. I know I had a pattern for a cat's head but don't know where I got it at the moment. If I can find it, I'll post the info.

received my sp package from hav4boys today, I loved it, I would post the picture but don't know how. I received 3 books to read with a theme of quilting, pins, buttons, apron which is beautiful, different material, almost forgot the most important thing chocolate. lol

I received a great package last week from Verna2197. Hubby and I were on vacation and I just got back today; however, my house/pet sitter filled me on all the goodies I received while I was away. I received a beautiful yard of black and white fabric and a colorful bundle of fat quarters that will find their home in my Affairs of the Heart Quilt. She must of been reading my mind as she sent me a package of rotary blade cutters. Look at the beautiful homemade heart, I really like it. The purse pattern look like a lot of fun. I really enjoy making bags. I also received an oriental drawstring bag filled with lotions and a sample of homemade soap. I got a kick of the "Hop into Spring" note pad, now if MN would only figure out what Spring is. Was had to come back to only 5 degrees when I just spent 3 weeks in the tropics. My four legged friends were remembered with kitty and puppy treats and my treats were a box of Valentine candy and my favorite Lindor truffles.
Thank you so much for everything Verna2197.

Several people have not sent a message when they mailed oand others have not sent one when they received. Please follow the rules, they are there for a reason.

I havent received anything yet will let you know when i do.
both of my SPs have received their packages but have only gotten message from one of them.
ok i lied i did get one package i forgot.

I know this doesn't belong on this post, but thought I'd offer this group first since I've been involved for so long.

The church group I sew with cleaned out their quilting room and was going to throw out bushels of books and old patterns. I just about had a heart attack when I saw the pile, so put it all in the back of my van and brought it all home to go through. You know, "one man's trash is another man's treasure..." Anyway, found some old Sunbonnet Sue patterns and books and a rather extensive collection of books and block patterns for southwest themed quilts. The former user must have been a history teacher because the blocks are from all the Indian tribes and native areas of the West.

I would love to find a good home for these patterns -- if you're willing to pay postage, please pm me and they can be yours.

do we start one of these for March soon?

Nancy is there any Eleanor Burns books Please

I would like to thank theifner for the package she sent. I love the Rick rack colors you chose... Thank you so much. I will be bowing out of this swap for a while and I know I may not sound too happy right now. It's nothing to do with the swap or anyone... I just found out yet another death has happened in my family. That's 5 in the last two years, 3 of which were within the last 6 months. My half-sister died yesterday. She was 25. I am just exhausted.
The chocolate is much appreciated right now theifner. Thank you.

Thanks for responding -- the Southwest and Sunbonnet Sue patterns are going to new homes. I still have patterns for clown (yuck!), circus, animals for kids quilts, crazy quilting, applique, and tons of OLD misc. stuff. Cross stitch, crochet...my SPs for the next few months are going to be inundated with patterns (lol).
