October Secret Pal Sign-ups: Closes September 30 @ 11:59 PM. 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 October 19th, this is a Firm deadline. All International mailings must be mailed by October 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’m back for October. Looking forward to it :o

sew excited :)

Secret pal, in your state it is illegal to urinate in the water supply and an infraction may cost you up to 20 years in prison. Additionally, Snoring is prohibited unless all bedroom windows are closed and securely locked.

Secret Pal your pkg was mailed out . You should receive soon. I have traved on vacation to your home state in the RV. Hope you like your picks.

Haha! Actually that is quite useful. Snoring can be loud. I can’t even imagine how it had to be made specifically illegal to urinate in the water supply.

If my SP is still trying to figure ideas out, I would love some bobbin washers.

Adorable! On the wrong coast for it to be me.

My SP hails from a state that is famous for growing a vegetable favorite. It also happens to be a border state to the state that has my favorite National Park.

I came home yesterday and had fun mail,I received my Secret Pal package from Cuppy, wow she really sent some nice things,6 FQ, a note pad, sewing quite,silk thread tiger tape,10 squares of Wool,and my favorite most wanted item Antique White buttons. Thank You so much cuppy

you are welcome, glad you liked all your goodies.

Secret pal you will receive twice something in the mail, one directly from me and one from some where else. I looked high and low trying to find your most wanted, I was on a mission, but was not able to locate any but online. It will hopefully make for 2 fun surprises in the mail. There is a clue hidden in this message.

My secret pal gift has take wings. It will take three days to arrive... so Monday or Tuesday. Secret pal, it would take 31 hours to drive to you for a total of 2,042.2 miles. I would pass through 5 states.

That actually sounds like a fun road trip.

I received a most generous package from Bullock2us. There was so much in it that I had to take 2 pictures! She sent all kinds of goodies, including a beautiful Laurel Burch pouch stuffed with useful items, a Halloween tote, lots of fabric and patterns, and a kitchen towel. Thank you so much![ATTACH=CONFIG]618493[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]618494[/ATTACH]

More to come from a shop directly. Your most requested. (-:

Swap Partner,

I mailed your package and u are far away from me, but closer to me than most of the others in this swap!

My secret pal should have received her package today.

Just to let whoever has me this month that I am traveling around New England with my hubby for a few days and my mail is on hold. One town I plan to visit is Central Harbor, New Hampshire. Does anyone know what shop is there?

Today I received a second package from Annaquilts. Thank you so much for the Fat Quarter bundle of Grudge fabric. They are super, I love them. This is going over the top. Know that I really appreciate what you have done.

Hugs Anna

BrendaK

You are welcome. Glad you like the FQ bundle. Enjoy!

Just a reminder... packages need to be mailed by Saturday. Please remember to let me know when you have mailed and when you have received. Thank you everyone!

Secret pal, your package is on the way! You can expect it by Saturday. Once again, I forgot to put a note in it. I don't know why that is such an issue for me, but it probably has something to do with age. Anyway, I hope you like what I picked out for you.
Gaijin, are you going to Keepsake Quilting? My husband's favorite part of that store is the porch lined with rocking chairs!

Yes, we went to Keepsake Quilting and it was lovely!

Secret Partner you should receive your package Monday the 21st. Hope you enjoy it. BrendaK

Came home to a lovely package!
 

I received my swap package today from Mary Christine! Fabrics, bobbin clips, quilt charms, beeswax and holder for my needles, a Thanksgiving towel, lovely Fall socks, two spools of thread, a novel, and snacks for my "little" 80 lb. puppy. Take a look!


Many thanks!

Bullock2us, I forgot the note, you should have received your package today. I have a note for you in a PM.

Today I received my goodies. Mr. Darcy was all over it because he knew there was something in there for him. Once I gave him one of his treats, he left me to enjoy mine.

Thank you so much Brenda K. These goodies will definitely help me decorate my home for autumn. Perfect timing because I am having a small dinner party on Thursday.

Will take a picture and have it posted by tomorrow.

Thank you fir my secret pal package. I received it yesterday. I woke up and it was at my door. Some beautiful fabrics in my colors aqua, creams, batiks. Adorable wool pincushion with a sheep on it. Memories of an Ireland trip. some rose pearl pins. clips, thread, and these mini spring scissors also a few more things. Thank you so much cuppy

Hopefully my secret pal should get hers today.

Have not heard anything from my secret pal. As the host, I know I should not get bummed, but I do and I am.

I am also waiting still. Want to come and hang at my quilt room for the day? Good things come to those that wait. Maybe the postal is having fun with our packages? Can't wait to see if there is something in this afternoon's mail.

Anna, I wish I could pop in and quilt together.

Life has been so rough lately. My sons' dad broke his back in a car accident on Saturday. He has no one so we have all be pitching in to help him. They are going to release him from the hospital today and he has no one to care for him. Since my husband is off work with the broken wrist, he is helping the best he can. I am just overwhelmed.

The secret apl package I sent was delivered Tuesday last week and I have heard nothing.

Anna, hav4boys, can I join you in a virtual sew-in. Heard some news last night that has me a little blue.

Hope you get your package of goodies soon. DS
