mdall that is a very stunning quilt. It looks like a lot of PP.

We haven't been that naughty . . . yet. :(

Roda would like BUTTONS....Oh I make buttons! I hope who ever I get will want buttons, or handmade. I'm painting buttons (clay) to match 30's fabric prints, so I can wrap up for who ever you are out there in cyber space-I can't wait to secretly get to know you!

Well, if you get me... yes, I have 2 embroidery machines. I'm easy to please as long as you like it, I know I will. Just don't send any heavy scented candles, or perfumes, I'm allergic to them. I do however love scented body washes. I don't like to read books unless they involve sewing/quilting. :D

I could always use some pretty buttons, I'm running very low.

<------likes pretty buttons!

Sorry Quilty-Louise, but I already have one of these. Maybe you can find someone else that needs one!!
:D :D :D :D

It could be a tarantula :D.... They're all over the world, and hairy :D

Cheryl, if it is me, you already know my likes :D

Roda, please let me ride in the back of that wagon....sigh........I miss the country life.

That can't be it since I'm still good I don't have mine yet :confused: Maybe its because I'm sitting in my chair throwing things in to you. Really I'm good :o Name by morning please.

Quilty, I dont have one of those, but would def use one.

Dawn........I can't tell if I got your name or not, but just in case I did......I do know what you like!! :D You are like me, we like EVERYTHING!! Hee-Hee
:D :D :D :D

Wow!!! Chatty people...naughty & nice!!! Love it.......I haven't gotten my ss name yet, patiently waiting. I hope I gave my person enough to work with...a couple of things I forgot to add....our little shitzu is no bigger than our cat...they play well together as they are best buds. Greta (dog) is mostly blind & has lost most of her teeth & has terrible allergy (not food) problems...so anything for her to eat needs to be small & softish & toys are very small squeeky toys. We adopted her about 4 years ago (she was a neglect, abuse, puppymill situation & was going to be "put down" so we saved her & she is ABSOLUTELY spoiled rotten! :)) She's about 10 years old now. Kneedy (cat) loves puff balls & mice. Hates all other cats (too many fights while ferril, I think) but loves any dog that tolerates cats. I think he must have hung out with dogs while he roamed. That's the 4-legged kids. I hope I gave enough to you about sewing likes & dislikes for me...I say sewing because I do it all (check out my posts in other threads). I have most rulers & gadgets, threads, stabilizers, etc. I don't have alot of room for "dust collectors" even though I like them, so prefer not to get them. Love scraps & handmade as I said. Actually, I'm fairly easy to please. Love chocolate (but no pecans or walnuts)...I have recently become addicted to Werther's cinnamon/carmel hard candies even though they are not chocolate. I always have a bag of them handy in my sewing room; suck on them & sew--not messy! :) I am sorry, girls, I cannot join you in the hole (the claustrophia would get to me unless it is about 2 miles around & I could still see out--not fun, but very true!), so I will just say "hi" & leave you to your fun & try to make some fun with the ones NOT in the hole...that's fun too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got to get some last minute things done for the craftshow this weekend...check back later. Teri, thanks for doing the great job you're doing & feel better soon!

I don't have my SS name yet either. Patiently waiting and thinking and pondering. I'm a newbie so hoping my person listed lots about themselves.

I don't have an embroidery machine, but I do hand embroider. I don't need a calculator. I use an app on my phone. I love buttons. Love 30s prints. Love bright colors - oranges and yellows and greens and reds and aqua. Once the holidays are over I plan to make three modernish quilts - cherries, strawberries, and apples - all on white/cream backgrounds.

Excited to go shopping for my SS!

Also love handmade/homemade items. I got married in June and my husband and I tried requesting only handmade or repurposed items as wedding gifts. You know, items that have special meaning instead of just "stuff". Our families were confused so we ended up having to register. Always love pin cushions and mug rugs and needle books and oven mits and on and on and on. Not picky - simply excited to be part of this wonderful community! :)

So happy !!! I got my SS name!!! and I'm so excited!!!! This is going to be so much fun!!!

I don't have one of these, believe it or not. My DH thinks I have everything!!
I do have an embroidery machine, in fact 2.

I'm in and so excited. Last year was my first secret santa and I had so much fun shopping for her! I just love giving gifts and surprises. I love everything everyone has mentioned so far! It's gonna be a big build up I can see that already......a fine group of 'teases' we are!!!!

Dear VickiM- your description of Greta, well...we could be twins!

BOOO HOOOOOO, I still havent received a name yet. I have however read lots of post and have some ideas for certain people if I were to get their name. So, off to bed I go. Hopefully I sleep better tonight than last night. I think all the ladies in this hole with me were too loud. LOL Nites ladies and maybe that name will be here in the morn.

WOO HOO!!! Got my name, too. I am going to the city Saturday where there is a Joanns and shop, shop, shop!! I am going to the same town tomorrow for my work comp doctor appt, but all they have is Wal-mart. My best friend had a quilt shop there, but she had to close her doors a year and a half ago. You would think with 2 state prisons in that town there would be more there, but theres not. Reno, NV is the closest big city & thats just over an hour away, 90 miles. What to make, what to make. I am also making some apple butter and apple jelly this weekend, too. Let the fun begin!! Thank you Terri for this swap and all the hard work you put into it for us.:)

Nurse Bonnie... I hope you get my name. I DO NOT have a fabric calculator and stink at math so bad that if the pattern doesnt tell me how much yardage is needed, I just dont bother to make whatever the pattern is.

On another note...I received my secret santa person.... shes going to be sooo easy to make a package for. So...tomorrow Im off to buy some groceries...and maybe a trip to Joanns.

Madbury what is your favorite shop in the area? I have been to Glad creations once and SR Harris once. I live south of the river so don't get up to them often I go mostly to Mill End. Welcome to the quiltingboard.

For the person who got me, I think I'm fairly easy. I like simple things not into much bling, my main machine is older than I am, I have been married for 32 years, you do the math. It goes forward and backwards but it is a work horse. I do embroidery by hand, I do paper piece but not often. I am very thrifty with my fabric, for some reason that twister tool is way too much waste. I do a lot of hand work but not much applique. The only tool I really want and haven't purchase is the perfect piecer by Jinny Beyer, none of the fabric stores near me carry it. I don't buy fabric just to have it so my stash is meager but my scrap pile is big, just can't throw away fabric if it is larger than 1/2 inch. I use things not quite the way they were intended, if I can make something multitask I will. I use the same program to design stained glass to design quilts, that way if I need to create something that needs to be PP I can print my own. (Just have to remember to reverse!!) Love to read books the paper kind and don't subscribe to any magazines, I only own one quilt magazine, I love my library. See I'm easy you can get me anything!

I would love handmade buttons!

someone is going to get pretty buttons from me ;)but thy are not homemade...wait I do have some homemade( I didn`t make them)....might just add them to my package

I got my partners name, yipee! Looking forward to putting together a nice package for her :)

Dedemac - believe it or not I haven't made it to Mills End yet. That's my husband's aunt's favorite shop so I really have no excuse. Maybe I'll check it out this weekend. I've only been in MN for two years so really still learning my way around. I love Millie P's in Anoka and Quilted Treasures in Rogers. They aren't super close, but always worth the trip. Otherwise, Crafty Planet in Northeast is just 10 minutes away. It isn't a quilt shop and their displays are always outdated, but they have lovely fabrics and embroidery patterns. I visited several shops during the MN Shop Hop - just finished a quilt top from the state park fabrics (haven't quilted it yet but the photo is posted on my profile page). I think I'll check out the Fall Harvest Shop Hop in a couple weeks as well. Any excuse to cruise around to the local shops!

Woohoo!!! All names are out!!
If you did not receive a name, please let me know.

gonna find a special hole just for dreamer cuz she's being mean to me

Ok, I'm off to bed. Had a busy day today. Was up at 5:30 this morning.

Those are really pretty, care to share the pattern? OR give us a tute on it? :)
Be sure to show us your twisted tree too. That sounds very interesting???

Wow had to catch up again!!! I do not have a quilters calculator but have looked at them and wondered how hard they are to use. I love the idea of homemade buttons! I love chocolate of any kind, plus I love pretty smelling candles and stuff. I do not own an embroidery machine. My sewing room is decorated with Coca Cola items. I love Coke stuff. I hope I have given enough info to my secret santa!!! If I can help any more just let me know!!! Woohoo this is going to be so much fun!!!!!!!!! :)

Aha! I see you must not have given a lot of information for your SS...is it me????? I'll never tell...tisk, tisk, tisk...naughty corner for you....not down the HOLE...they have waaaayyyy too much fun down there! :)

I can't believe that 10 more pages have been posted since this afternoon....and still no info on my person!! BTW...like many of the others, I like handmade buttons...handmade anything:thumbup:

I hope this helps my Ss out with some ideas for me.
Besides our GS my 'baby' is a 4 yo -4lb Yorkie, named Gabby.

I look forward to learning more about MY Ss and putting a fun package together for her as well!!

Way way back when I was young, we had "Autograph books and we'd we'd get our friends & everybody to write a short inspirational, or funny verse in our book. That was a common one, (usually our teachers) would write in our books.
