Forgive me for not using my board name.

Dedemac I will most likely be getting started on those books tonight and may be able to finish most of them if this storm continues as they predict. Calling for an inch of ice on top of the 8 inches of snow we have so far. Looks like lights out for us here, good thing we have a generator. Anyway here are the goodies, I can't wait to start reading.



I think I got pics of it all. So much of it that I lost track. LOL As you can see Dedemac really set me up good. I would list it all but then we will be here for a while. Dedemac the machine cover does fit, thank you so much. I imagine that both the boys and I will be using it but of course me mostly since its on my main machine. I will share with them though. Thanks so much again. Now off to fix some dinner, plan our day to use all those seasonings for the game we get and then I do believe I am going to start on the Quilters Apprentice Book I got. Thanks again.

Glad you liked everything, I did stay under the $ limit, I am a scrounger when it comes to these types of gifts. I had fun stalking you and knowing I was sending to you when I got the ornaments from you in the other swap. Stay safe and warm in the storm.

At 4 PM EST, we were right here, partying.

purtercat92 12-08-2013 04:40 PM

Yes, I am sorry about that, I have a full time job, and two part time jobs, so I try to post when I can. I am also a bit shy about jumping into conversations, so that is also why I don't post much. I have to say, I didn't give you much to work with but you gave me a most perfect box!!! I cannot thank you enough, as I love making donation baby quilts for quilts for kids. I have been in my room looking for a pattern to use already for the material you gave me. You did a great job and I thank you again!!! Merry Christmas!!!!

Sorry I missed the opening with everyone, I had to work. And on top of that, when I left work, there was snow, sleet and ice on the roads so I drove home ever so slowly and made it in one piece! First thing I did when I got home? I opened my package of goodies of course!! Thanks sooooo much Neesie, you sent me an AWESOME package. The first pic is of everything than I broke it down so you can see everything up close. Check out the hat, it has owls on it, isn't it adorable! I will definitely be wearing it! And the tote is so pretty, as are the fabrics and everything else. I LOVE it all Neesie, thank you so much!

I finally managed to get my package opened & took pictures---thank you so much Brenda...I didn't find your screen name on the package-so don't want to put your whole name- but you know who you are. :)
everything is so wonderful ! I am so excited to use that new triangle ruler...both rulers are great- I don't know how you knew I needed that compass- but that is sure great timing! and the tiger tape...oh I love that stuff & didn't have that *kind/style*. the patterns for the table runners are wonderful- the batiks are BEAUTIFUL! and go really well with some other fabrics I've been puzzling over. the quilted bag you made- I can think of so many things to use that for- it will be used A LOT! the folding scissors...what a wonderful TREAT! so much easier to stick in my little travel project bag. everything is wonderful- I feel so lucky. :) I will stop gushing- here's the pictures.

starshine 12-08-2013 04:51 PM

So glad you liked it all kariboo but you didn't have to wait until 4:00 your time, you could open when it was 4:00 Eastern time, sorry you didn't realize that everyone could open at the same time and just figure out what time your time is when it is opening time EST(eastern standard time). So keep that in mind next year. I was very tickled when the T H manager told me you would be able to use it. I was also tickled when I saw the daisy fabric. Merry Christmas.

Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late in posting but I was not at home at the 1pm time. But, now, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Dwina (Toomanyufos)!. Wow, did I hit the jackpot! Look at the pics. Fabric galore; fat quarters, half-yards and yards. Love the blue Daisy Chain yard by Amy Butler! Also, a candle, cross-stitch kit, lemonheads, 1x5 inch ruler, Janome screwdriver tool, ceramic bell (wonderful for my collection) and a sweet little cross-stitch piece. Look, it says "A Good Book is The Best of Friends." Oh, I just love it all. Toomanyufos, you were a great Secret Santa. I never guessed it was you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is the first year I participated in this swap and I can say it truly was a great experience. You are a wonderful group of ladies.

Dedemac 12-08-2013 05:10 PM

Such wonderful pictures!! Time to get off for a while. This has been great time. I will check back latter. Bye all

I realize I didn't give you much to work with but I am really very thankful for all you gave me. You couldn't have given me a better box of goodies!!! I love making quilts for quilts for kids, so I have already been in my sewing room checking out patterns to make for all the very cute fabric you sent me. I cannot thank you enough for my goodies, I will truely enjoy them! Merry Christmas!!!!

Thanks for letting me know that cheesehead-I was kind of wondering if they were supposed to go on something. That is a very cute idea. My son has them on now and is totally entranced with them-says they are cool-thanks again!

IrelandDragonQuilting 12-08-2013 05:31 PM

It never ceases to amaze me how generous quilters are. Everyone has gotten such beautiful packages. Just cruised through 19 pages of awesome photographs and sharing what everyone has gotten. I love this swap!

blondeslave 12-08-2013 05:34 PM

Yes Neesie and Phoebe-I and Huggie Bear, wee Gracie Allen and Clyde Kadiddlehopper(my 3 lowriders) are your SS. Glad you liked everything!

TammyB 12-08-2013 05:34 PM

I haven't heard or seen a posting from the person I was Secret Santa for, but I know it's a busy time of year.

mdall 12-08-2013 05:34 PM

Question for all of you tea drinkers. I am trying out some of the teas that Dedemac sent me. Does some teas leave your tongue feeling a little tingly? Nothing bothersome or anything just different. I am mostly a water drinker and have never tried any of the flavored hot teas or anything.

Dedemac, I am currently sipping on the apple cinnamon Chamomille tea you sent and reading the Quilters Apprentice. I must say a very good tea and even better book. On Chapter 4 already.

Bamagal 12-08-2013 05:43 PM

Missed the opening cause we were on the road!! Just now opening and OMG what a fantastic box!! Thanks so much!! I have a beautiful stuffed dog!! (Dogs are my fav!). 6 jewel tone fat quarters and matching thread ( you chose my favorite colors!!!) and a great seam-fix. (Can't wait to try it out!! I'm the gadget queen!) two new quilt patterns that I LOVE!!!! For my heart, a beautiful Maeve Binchy book This Year Will Be a Different a Christmas Treasury ! My secret passion is reading. I am so blessed!! Merry Christmas to you and your family. I will think of you all year as I enjoy my gifts!!

catjo 12-08-2013 05:51 PM

I received an awesome box from Shawna (purtercat92). Trying to download the pic, but it isn't cooperating. Thank you, thank you. Books, magazines, fabric, homemade items, hankies, templates, So many items I can't even tell you. Also I will treasure your grandmothers hankie and it will be added to my quilt. I can't believe how much came out of that box. lol AWESOME box. Thank you!

Jean D 12-08-2013 05:57 PM
