Nope Haven't gotten my name yet.

Yesterday afternoon, my daughter and I went to Walmart and naturally the fabric section is the first place to go and thats exactly where we went (actually that was why we went we needed tule to make TuTus for the Color Run 5K Marathon in May that were going to do) So, there is a lady at the cutting counter marking down some fabrics. So I had to check them out. She was marking Christmas Flannel down to yes you will read this right 86 cents a yard!!!! I got a couple yards of a bunch of them. Not sure what I will use them for but maybe I will put them in a Secret Pal Package. Happy New Years Everyone.

Grandma Peg 01-02-2014 03:38 PM

Nice find airwick. Was lucky a few years ago and found flannel on sale also bought almost all they had used it for backings of quilts.
Prayers to all our members who might be getting bad weather the next couple days.

Lori Peercy 01-02-2014 08:49 PM

I have finished with the names, if you don't have one send me a pm, remember to send me a pm when you mail and when you receive so you can play next month! I am not in it this month.

Sdwill 01-03-2014 05:13 AM

Lori, I sent you a PM, as I haven't received my name.

Thanks!

wowwww, you did great on the flannel airwick, I wouldn't hesitate either if I saw an offer like that, what's better in winter than cuddle under a flannel quilt?

jaba 01-03-2014 07:37 AM

I haven't been in for the last few months, decided to start again and missed the sign up. Will try to watch more carefully for next month.

Crafty Darlene 01-03-2014 07:46 AM

Missed the signups also. Been so busy with the Holidays and my sister was in a car accident, but she is home now and just recovering, they were very blessed! My DD and Grandkids left yesterday to stay a few days with her in laws, my SIL is in Afghanistan. Still have to start taking down all my Christmas decorations. But will keep up with everyone and get in on the signups next month! Did everyone get all their sewing done they wanted to over the Holidays? I know I didn't but think I will after all the clean up is done! Happy belated New Year and everyone have a great day!

Sdwill 01-03-2014 08:51 AM

I had to get a new computer last Tuesday. I have the same feelings about Windows 8. :shock:

If you are my secret pal, watch the mail for the postcard telling you are going to receive this magazine for the next year! That is just the start of you January Secret Pal gift!

Here's a little hint: The population of your city is around about 14,000 and you are probably buried under a blanket of snow right about now.

hav4boys 01-03-2014 09:49 AM

LindaR I am with you. I so dislike Windows 8. Nasty, nasty, nasty.

Belfrybat 01-03-2014 10:46 AM

I received my SP name! I've had you before and you live SE of me by a fair piece. Afraid if I give out too many clues, you'll guess who you are.

Lori Peercy 01-03-2014 12:02 PM

DARN!!! You were my secret pal until I decided to not get in it this month!

Lori Peercy 01-03-2014 12:02 PM

Has anyone heard from Krystyna?

Lori Peercy 01-03-2014 12:05 PM

Are here ay volunteers for angels this month? Please send me A PM, thank you.

quiltnut4ever 01-03-2014 12:49 PM

got my SP name and I've had you before...hmm...let's see....

Lori I haven't seen Krystyna on other threads either.

Grandma Peg 01-03-2014 06:57 PM

Have had my secret pal before. Will be getting her package together this weekend. We are leaving for Mexico next week! Our youngest son is getting married or I should say renewing their vows on the beach. Can't wait to get out of the sub 0 weather. So whoever has my name, will be gone for awhile.

JuanitaBean 01-03-2014 10:16 PM

I'm getting my SP package ready. Didn't give me much to go on.

reeskylr 01-03-2014 11:00 PM

I never got an SP name....hm.

fabric lover 01-04-2014 08:30 AM

I've been shopping for the non-fabric goodies and treats for my SP. I think I've done rather well, if I may say so myself :-).
I just hope my SP isn't hip deep in snow!

dotcomdtcm 01-04-2014 08:40 AM

A gift subscription is a great idea. Amy Gibson's Sugar Block Club BOM is less than $10 and she is starting a new one for 2014. These are the best directions I have seen, to date, for interesting blocks. Some of you know her work from the 2012 free Craftsy.com series.

mscupid804 01-04-2014 01:20 PM

SP, your pkg is ready to go and will be mailed on Monday. Your HINTS:
1) I've had you once before
2) You like to read
3) We both HATE the same candy
*That's all the hints you get so you'll just have to wait to get your pkg hopefully sometime next week.....w/all the bad weather around the country, let's hope so!*

som 01-04-2014 01:24 PM

I agree a quilt book subscription is a great idea,i would love that som

Bullock2us 01-04-2014 04:53 PM

Got my name. She lives way far far away. My sister lived over there for about 7 years and married someone from there. Hmmmm
Gift subscription is an ingenious idea -hadn't thought of that

I've had mine for awhile and still can't figure out how to use Windows 8

dotcomdtcm 01-04-2014 05:27 PM

Sent mine out today. Tried a bit of chat, but no response! Back to sewing. Thanks to Lori. Dotty in Icy NYC!

sewdamncute 01-04-2014 05:50 PM

Got my name...have been pals before....brings yellow roses to mind....:)

fayzer 01-04-2014 08:10 PM

Hi everyone. I have been MIA for a while. We have had some deaths in the family. I was also scrambling to make a quilt for a cancer patient that died 2 days after my daughter took the quilt to her. Then all the holidays and sickness kept me hopping. I'll try to get back in February.

Knitette 01-05-2014 01:53 AM

I've had my SP before. I've ordered her something, so hope it comes quickly. Sadly, it's not the thing she wants the most as there's no stockist in the UK (no surprises there, lol). My LQS has their sale tomorrow so hopefully I'll find something nice. :)

don't give up, it takes awhile to find things...I've changed my homepage 3 times and I think it may stick this time LOL

grammyj 01-05-2014 06:21 AM

Good morning all, to my S pal I'm working on it should have it on the way one day this week. She lives north of me but not real far. Like me she has no pets. :)

LindaR 01-05-2014 06:34 AM

Not going to make it out today under storm watch....hopefully can get out sometime this week...was going to pick up and get box out next week....bummer

Fayzer, my deepest sympathy.

I had to get a new computer a couple of months ago and of course it had windows 8. I hate hate hate it!!!!! There has been times I have tried and tried to do something on it and can't figure it out, I get so frustrated I just want to throw it out the window. I did find a program called Classic Shell, makes it more friendly. It also makes it look almost just like windows 7, thank God I found it or this computer would be trash by now.
My DH did surprise me before Christmas and told me he ordered me an iMac!!!! I am doing the happy dance. I have iPhone and the iPad been want an iMac for ever.

Ok, SP. An order was put in for something you wanted. When it ships I'll post and let you know!

HINT: You are also waaaayyyyy East of me. :)
