November Secret Pal Swap - sing-ups close October 31 at midnight. Come join the fun!
 

This is a monthly secret pal swap. There is a sign up every month, and you can
choose whether or not to participate each month. You will get a different partner each month, and the person you send to will may be different than the person you receive from. Failure to send your package after signing up will be cause to be banned from all future swaps. Please do not sign up if you cannot fulfill your obligation. Have fun and be creative!

After receiving your Secret Pal’s details, go to work and put together a package with something you think your pal would like. There is a $15.00 limit on this swap that does not include what you have in your stash. (This does not include shipping) Most swappers do not mind like-new stash items. You will need to send me (hav4boys) a PM when mailing and receiving. This way I can keep my records straight. Also send a PM to your SP thanking them and leave feedback.

Please take pictures and post in group as everyone likes to see what you get.

Packages need to be mailed out by November 19th, this is a Firm deadline. All International mailings must be mailed by November 10th Firm. If you know that you cannot mail by that date, Please Do Not Sign Up.

For international mailing it is very important that you mark your parcel as a 'Gift' on the Customs Declaration (there's a box you can check). Also, the value should be $10 only (even if you send diamond necklace). The person receiving the package is liable for Import Duty, Tax and a Handling fee. This can cost the person receiving as much as $40.

Padded envelopes are much cheaper to send compared to small boxes. These can be ordered free of charge from the USPS website.

You must have a phone # or email to sign up

I almost forgot to sign up. I just send in all the info to sign up. This swap is always a lot of fun.

Glad you made the cut Anna. I enjoy this swap.

Sent you a PM!! :)

I am just reminding everyone I will do my best to get names out tomorrow mid morning. I am hosting the ornament swap this month too, so I am doing a balancing act.

Kathy,

I just resent my information. Please let me know if you receive it!

Thanks!

LAQUITA,

Your mailbox is full and you cannot accept any new messages. Please delete so I can get your secret pal information to you.

Everyone's secret pals are out. LAQUITA, I emailed yours to you. Have fun and be creative. I will be an observer this month!

Wow! Everyone is so quiet! I thought I must have missed subscribing to the thread. I'm almost ready to mail my SP's package to her. It will travel about 3000 miles to get there!

The package for my SP goes out tomorrow. Also about 3000 miles! I had fun putting it together as my first swap. And looking forward to the next one!

Mailing out my sp pkg today.

How is everyone doing? My secret pal package will go out this week. I want to make her something special. My partner loves wool.

My secret pal went out today. She should have it Thursday.

My secret pal blessed me. I received an envelope from Etsy and in it was a Patchwork of the Crosses English Paper Piecing kit to make two blocks. I love the pattern and had not seen it before. [ATTACH=CONFIG]619655[/ATTACH]

Here is a link to what the block looks like when finished. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/373517362838152502/

Thank you Queenbarbie J.

This is just a notice to let you all know where I am right now. I am doing my very best to keep up with the swaps. Please have patience with me.

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday. We will be meeting with the surgeon next Thursday. As a cancer survivor, I know the battle she has in front of her and I will be walking this walk with her.

Please, if you have any issues, let me know by PM and I will do my best to get back to you in a timely fashion.

Thank you for understanding,

Kathy

Hav you do have more coming to you. You should get it tomorrow.

What a bonanza! I was visiting family out of state and came home to my wonderful giftie! Anna (sorry idk your ID) is pretty spot on with my tastes. And I’m happy to add her block to my orphan block quilt. 😀👌 #muchexcite
**my picture isn’t loading 😭 Will try again

I received secret pal package, so nice a full size teapot pin cushion and camping fabrics. Thank you LAF2019. What a wonderful surprise.

.y pal should have received

Secret Pal, your package is on its way. Look for it on Monday. Hope you like it!

What an awesome package I received from my Secret Pal!!! She put the best stuff in there! Even treats for my puppies!! :thumbup: Thank you Letsquilt!!! Here's a picture of all my goodies!!

Edited: I am having a hard time uploading the photo. I will try again when I get some help on how to fix it.

My SP should be getting their package today !!! Sorry I didn't write a clue but I hope you like everything .

Thank you frsur33. Everything is wonderful. The fat eighths will come in handy. I will turn those into place mats. The batiks are lovely. Those are my favorite gummy candies. The little storage box came at the right time. I bought a Pfaff 130 and I needed a little sewing box to keep my bobbins in. That works out perfectly. I will have to give the chalk marker and the ruler tape a try. I've never used those before. Thank you for everything.

Maybe my pal did not receive. As per tracking

Cuppy is it me? I haven't received a package yet. I ordered something not too long ago. USPS said that it was delivered but I never received the package. When I called the company they were nice enough to resend the package (no cost) which I did receive. I guess sometimes it happens. When I receive my package I will be sure to let everyone know. BrendaK

I have not been able to get to the post office recently, but will head out there sometime this week to check and see if I have a gift waiting!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]619990[/ATTACH]I received a wonderful package from Laquita today - some beautiful black and white fabrics, pens, a tape measure, a mini quilt kit, and some tea. I love it all! Thanks, Laquita!

Frsur33 thank you again for the lovely package. That chalk pencil came in handy last night when I used it to mark where I need to line up my sashing strips. Usually I use pins to t to line things up and I just doesn't work right. That pencil is a wonderful tool.

Hi! I got my package yesterday from musicaljan. Thank you so much for the beautiful fabric and adorable tags. I can't wait to use them!!! I'll try and post a photo today or tomorrow . My phone wont allow me to ☹️

Queenbarbiej - I'm so glad you like it. I love the chalk tool . I first purchased one for myself when I was taking a class and the instructor had one. It is so easy to use and functional.
