Thank you KathyM for my fun filled SS package! It included a beautiful assortment of FQs, a fun yellow geometric yardage piece, tons of fun buttons (I collect these), bag making patterns & supplies and some yummy chocolate & peanuts! Oh, and a coffee & tea inspired zipper pouch perfect for keeping things organized!

Enjoyed the SS swap and wish everyone a joyous and healthy holiday season!

Christine

sending thanks out to Rumbols for a great secret santa package. I took a picture but cant figure out why i cant get it to transfer from phone to my email so I can download and post here. Poo-Chie and Buzz ( the dogs) send lots of sloppy kisses in gratitude for their treats and Truffles says the Temptation cat treats were just what she hoped santa would bring her. and i love the quilt book, dear Jane rulers, snowman bag pattern, Dove almonds and cashews, scrap caddy,bobbin storage box and all the other little goodies. I will get my daughter to help me post pic tomorrow

Thanks so much Secret Santa, (Kathy) I think this is 4 boys?????? She really did herself well as each one of my presents was warped and I had so much fun unwrapping them. Really cool card with wood cutouts, quilting needles, needle threader, Lindor chocolates, SEEs mints, covered in Dark Chocolate!! a very nice and interesting pattern and then my favorite fabrics: Stonehenge.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]620618[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]620619[/ATTACH]Thanks secret santa. I love, love, love all my stuff. Now to go upstairs and try out my needle threader. Marcia

Oh my gosh.. here i was worried and dragging my feet cuz i didnt wanna be the first one! Everybody is already in full gear!


Oh, Mary (aka: happystitchermm) thank you - you are too good to me! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Im sure i wasnt good enough this year to deserve all of this, but if you think so im good with that! 😊

Mary made me a very lovely and cheery zippered bag with pretty purple flower applique, and an embroidered “I’d Rather be Quilting” sectioned project bag! A lot of work went into those!


I received two patterns - one for a Mariners Compass and another for a quilt called “Cambridge Moon”!


And she also sent me 5 purple FQ’s, a June’s Cottage charm pack, and a lovely spool of lavender thread!


My husband and i are sure to enjoy the coffee and the M&M’s! Gracie, Bubba, and Abbie thank you for the treats! (Im positive that Bubba wasnt that good!)


And a million thank you’s for sharing the beautiful cross-stitched purple blocks!!! and the wonderful assortment of various other blocks with me! While i may share the assorted blocks in comfort quilts... those purple cross-stitched blocks are mine!!!


Thank you so much, Mary...


~ Very Sincerely, April 😊

My secret Santa is LaQuita. Cute DJ letters for my sewing room, 6.5" ruler, blue tape measure, 2 half yard fabrics, redhead pins, 2020 calendar, black tea, Texas license plate & a sweet card. Where's the required 4 fat quarters, are they in the mail? I'll enjoy what you sent, thanks.

Anna Quilts I am your Santa. Sad to say I laid down the card in the ornament swap box & then forgot to mail it so you'd know it was from me & I forgot to take pics before I mailed. I do wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Christmas hugs to you all,
dj

This is the Heart information. I’m intrigued by this and can’t wait to send some out.

Thank You MizMelly for all of the great gifts you sent me. I took a picture but must have deleted it by mistake.

Hi Jazs2, I actually remembered for the first time to take a pic of what I sent! Minus the fabric marking pen - last minute addition!!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]620671[/ATTACH]

thank you so much for posting this for me ,i wanted to show everyone my pkg i love everything you sent,it is a wonderful pkg

thank you again sewingsondra

Can you believe I actually forgot yesterday was opening day!!! I had a potluck to attend in the evening and spent all day baking tarts and cookies for my dessert platter. I officially hate decorating gingerbread men.

So, I've had a delightful time this morning opening a pile of gifts from Carolinepaj. Thank you Caroline!! I love that everything was individually wrapped, giving me lots of opening fun. I've been following Bonnie Hunter's blog for years and often thought about buying from her, but never have. I'm especially delighted with the pattern book. And the floss is beautiful. I love the feel of the silky threads. My late mother-in-law collected birds, and the little bird makes me think fondly of her.
Here's a picture of the treasures that travelled across the ocean to me.

I have a message from her that it was sent.
Hopefully it will show up soon.

WOW!!! What lovely packages I see!
Did you know that there's another rule that I forgot to post?
It's....you now have to package all your goodies up and send it all to me! LOL!!!!

Yes it s on it s way, I did send her a message!!! Hope she ll get it soon!!! I haven t received mine either....hopefully we can open ours at the same time lol

Skaduzy, what a wonderful idea about the quilted hearts. I looked it up. thank you for sharing and thank you MERKLE Family for sending it to her.

I received a wonderful package from craftymatt2, Mary Hodges,

she also made a beautiful wall hanging, but the picture won’t post.

Thank you Ms. Mary, I love everything in my package.

Well the wall hanging posted, but it is sideways. It’s already hanging by my tree for all to see.

afraid you have the wrong secret santa name you are thanking. i sent that package to you. glad you liked everything.

Due to 2 back to back functions at the Post, I didn't get to open my SS until yesterday. Thanks. cuppy, for all the lovely fat quarters, hand cream, ornaments, earrings, tote & a very unique thread holder.

Oh my....

I missed opening day.... I will open when I get home later and post pictures.

Hugs

Caroline

I received my wonderful box from Uniontown, PA....but no card inside....I'm tempted to google the address to see who my SS is....I can't post a photo but there was chocolates, toffee popcorn (sigh---it is no more), thread, fat quarters, magazines, pattern, key chain....just numerous goodies. So, quiltingboard member from Uniontown----Thank you so much! I haven't heard from my gift recipient...I see from tracking it was delivered...hope she isn't disappointed. Blessings to all on the Board.....

I have not opened my secret santa package and will tonight. I will post pictures at that time. My youngest son hydroplaned and totaled his car Saturday, on his birthday. Hopefully tonight things will settle down and I can open my package.

I'm so sorry to hear that! Sending positive vibes your way... hopefully something in your package will brighten your stressful time.

one person i know that lives there is Stitchin'Post

Quilting Lawyer.... praying you get to feeling better soon. It's bad enough to be sick but it's even worse during the holidays and other special days in your life.
If you take 2 m&m's 4 times a day, and a cup of tea you will get better ;)
