Don't feel as if you must contribute, everyone has been so kind on this board, I didn't think it would hurt to ask.

Am I being too foreward to ask? If so, please forgive me.

Just finishing up a little surprise for you.
I'll get it in the mail - Ummm....maybe tomorrow.
Hee Hee Hee :lol:
Now you will have to wonder..... :twisted: :lol:

Last night after I signed up to join this swap I shopped for fabric! Yes, I bought 6-1/2 yards of Mama's Cotton, authentic 1930's reproduction prints from Connecting Threads, on sale!!! I have some 1930's fabric in my stash, but not enough. So...once the fabric arrives I will be busy.

There are several shops I like but I buy them almost anywhere I can find them these days because they're disappearing in my area....

WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! How nice of you to think of us! Poor Em has been pretty sick- bad bad flu. They've mentioned hospitalization, but we're holding off until we HAVE too. We're trying a medication that seems to be working... so I have been reading the posts, but not responding.

Thanks 2Doods! Now I will be stalking the mailbox. Im sure Em will feel better once she gets her goody- lol. :lol: I really appreciate your thoughtfulness, now I can't wait to see what we are getting!

BRT-
It is in the mail. He said 3-4 days. So either Saturday or Monday,maybe?
It is just a little something to get your collection started. I hope it will all work together.
{{{Hugs and Kisses to Baby Em!}}} Hope she gets feeling better soon.
And you get some rest too, so you don't get it!
