She was super early. I just finnished up sewing my swap items and now need to put some items together before sending it out, most likely next week.

I sent my mug rug swap out today, but haven't even got a clue yet what I will do for the PC/NC!

Anna, so happy you liked it Had to send early or you would be waiting until the end of the month. I'm in Florida and spent the day making a bridal bouquet, corsages and boutineers. Snowing at home and hot hot here.

Betty J in Australia has not received my pincushion swap. Here's a picture of what I sent Oct 14. I've contacted tracking and it was sent out from New Jersey in Oct. I'll go by PO today to also check. Makes my heart sad because postage was $24.95. But more in the fact she didn't receive it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]535037[/ATTACH]

That's a lovely swap! She will get it... don't despair. It takes weeks to get a package to Australia, and even longer at holiday time.

I agree. It will hopefully pop up soon but sometimes it takes weeks or even longer. What a cute pincushion and needle case and look at the additional goodies.

Aaahh I love it! My quilting buddy came over last night and she agreed what a great set it is and what a beautiful happy fabric. I am using it! I love the walnut shells for filling and regularly put it in pincushions I make. The anti skit material on the bottom of the pincushion is super smart. Is that shelf liner?

Have a great time in Florida. I hope the warm weather is something you like. I sure do. Even here in socal I get cold.

Anna what a great swap you got from Jaba. I loved the fabric she used and what a great bunch of goodies too.

Jaba does beautiful work. You'll enjoy all the varieties you'll get!

Anna it is shelf liner. I get it at Shopco in the $ bin section. It comes in different colors too. I love the walnut shells heavy so it stays put and won't slide off the table like the poly fill will.

Hmmm yes I like the walnut shells a lot. Wool is also great or a combination with the walnut shells in the bottom. So I learned about shelf liner and using hair ties in quilting from jaba. Smart! I am a happy quilter here and enjoying my goodies. I was a bit scared of making the needle case but I think it came out really well. It was nice to have the one jaba gave me in my hands to actually feel and see one. I took two ideas from that, batting instead of card board in the "book" cover and how to make a loop to put over the button. Well I do not want to give away too much.

Nan62 -- that's a lovely set, & I'm sure BettyJ will get it eventually. It's going a long distance!

Nan62, What pretty fabrics. You made really cute items and matching too. I'm sure she will be extra happy when she does receive it. Thanks for posting a picture for us to see.

Mailed my PC/NC out to my partner today and dummy me forgot to take pictures and put the card in the package, grrrrr. Hopefully my partner will recognize my name and figure it out. I know she is able to take pictures so that won't be an issue. Guess it's just one of those days!

Jan

will be mailing mine out next week. Just working on the needlebook. Doing a different type of pin c saw it on pinterst and just had to make it. My partner will not be getting shabby chic this time.lol

ljdugas do you have pictures posted of shabby chic PC and NC you did? Off to look by your profile.

Whew got mine done and going to mail tomorrow. Anna I have one of her pc's it is so cute. I'll try to post a picture if my batteries will work. They are rechargeable and I think they have had it.

This is the one she made me last year. Isn't it cute? :thumbup::sew:

That is so sweet! I like shabby chic. Several years ago my DD wanted a shabby chic quilt for her graduation to take to college. I got really interested in that style then. Thanks for posting this little eye candy. Ljdugas31 you sure did a great job!

Wow, those PC's and NC's that Linda makes look so elegant and beautiful!

Gorgeous Bride and Handsome Groom, such a lovely picture!

Oh I would like that! I really like all the ones I have seen. Very pretty and feminine. I know the next one is not shabby chic but I am sure it will be beautiful too. Can't wait to see this new Linda creation.

I have one of her pc's too. They are gorgeous. I wonder where she gets the loopy stuff?

Pat, yours is very pretty too.

Hey Lynnie.... miss ya girlfriend. I mailed off my swap today. Gotta go PM Karen now.

I just opened my swap package from Cheesehead. Thank you so much! She made me a beautiful n/c in a lovely turquoise with my initial in purple! Also a matching p/c with my initial! She included Ghirardelli peppermint bark, a fun Christmas FQ & a lovely handmade tree ornament! Thank you for a terrific swap package! Oh, & inside the n/c is a pack of betweens, tiny scissors (with blue handles), pins with "spool" tops & 2 gorgeous handmade pins. I feel very spoiled!

Thank you, Cheesehead, for a wonderful swap package!

So happy you like your package Pamela and even happier that you figured it out that it was from me. Can't believe I forgot the card!

Jan

Hahaha! Yes, that's true ... I did wonder which swap it was for & who sent it, but I saw the return address (though no name on that either). I do love a mystery ... and it was only a little one! Thanks again for a great package!

Pamela you received a great personalized pc and nc and goodies from Jan. Love anything embroidered. That peppermint bark is my favorite. I wish they made it all year.

Remember the Post Office will be closed tomorrow for Veteran's Day.

Pamela, what a very cute Christmas tree. Love the personalized pc/nb. Very cute Christmas fabric. Pretty pins and cute spool pins too. What a very nice swap.

Thank you ladies I love making them. My next one is this month anything goes.Well I found this one on pinterst had to make it. When my secret pal gets it she might post a pic.

Pat, you got a great swap package from Cheesehead. It's so pretty and neat looking.
