My SP, like me, likes kitties. She lives fairly close to me, only a 5-6 hour drive. I was delighted to see I had some of her favorite things on hand already, and will be finishing up my shopping for her this weekend! Oh, and in her state...you are not allowed to take baths between the months of October and March!

Tiny Tigger 09-02-2018 10:12 PM

Oh! Just noticed...Quiltingdragon, you live down the road from me...sort of :P St. Louis is about 2 hours for me!

Bullock2us 09-03-2018 08:36 AM

My pal is just a mere just over 21 hour drive away from me

SP Clue : Your town has 54 city parks ... Your city holds the 2 largest carrot producing farms in the world... It's going to be 83 degrees today ... you live west of me (I'm in NY)... !!

Mary Christine 09-03-2018 04:33 PM

I have mine and hope to ship by the end of the week.

BrendaK 09-03-2018 11:26 PM

Hints for my SP - A pregnant woman can relieve herself anywhere she wants, including a policeman’s helmet.
It is illegal to tell the tax man anything you don’t want him to know.
Driving a cow while drunk is also illegal.

quiltingdragon 09-04-2018 08:00 PM

Tiny Tigger, Yay, another missourian! And I am pretty sure I know who has me as a secret pal :)

quiltingdragon 09-04-2018 08:02 PM

Tiny Tigger, Yay, another missourian! And I am pretty sure I know who has me as a secret pal :)

To MY secret pal:

In your state, dishes must drip dry, and it is illegal to use canned corn as fishing bait...

Tiny Tigger 09-04-2018 11:33 PM

New clues for my SP.

Your town played a role in the Underground Railroad. Someone from your town designed a bit of software for NASA for one of their space programs. And in your state mustaches are illegal if the bearer has a tendency to habitually kiss other humans. :) Your package will probably be going out this weekend, seems there are a few more little spaces that can be filled before the padded envelope reaches critical and explodes!

And I *think* I know who has me, but I'm not going to say because I am horrible at guessing things!

PamelaOry 09-05-2018 04:04 AM

Secret pal,
Youre in the fourth largest city in the state and your city is known for its diversity. ^^

BrendaK 09-05-2018 01:25 PM

SP in your state:
No person may have a "yard sale" in their front yard.
No person may own a PVC pipe.
It is illegal to request for someone to "watch over" your parked car.
In one city frightening a baby is against the law.

More tomorrow.

My package is heading southwest today. I was able to put it together from my stash except for one fabric and a goodie. Hope she likes it. I forgot the card as I just found it on my desk. Good thing my name is on the label.

I do live South West from you and welcome items from people's stash but I do not think you have me because of the previous post with florals. then again I am clueless. LOL

Annaquilts 09-06-2018 12:42 PM

I have items laying ready for my secret pal. Previously a package has made the trek between us.

PamelaOry 09-06-2018 01:25 PM

My secret pals package is on its way today. Even though we are both dog lovers, there aren’t any dog themed items this time...to many other types of goodies we have in common!

BrendaK 09-06-2018 09:44 PM

Hi SP, In one city in your state it is against the law to park your car without turning off the engine.
In this city, dancing is strictly prohibited.
In another city, it is against the law to swear outside the home.

I have one more old law but I don't want to offend anyone so I will just let this one go.

Waiting for the delivery of one of your most wanted items. Hope it's here soon.

BrendaK

frsur33 09-07-2018 08:13 AM

I have most of the things ready for my SP. I was going to try and make something since they like hand made things though I don't think I'll find the time right now since I'm in the middle of a move and don't have a ton of space to take out my machine. So now I'll see if I can top the envelope off with anything else before I send it out (hopefully tomorrow!)

I received the most wonderful package from Hav4boys!!!!! Ok, I have to say I am so excited about my Rubba Scruba I can’t even express it! :thumbup: I love it all lady.....THANK YOU!!!

in the package was: 2 camping fabrics, 5 floral fabrics, a cute bunny tin filled with clips, 2 embroidery pattern packs, a zipper bag filled with embroidery thread, a storage container that is just awesome, a bobbin case full of bobbins, a set of chalk pens, a cute pair of animal socks and a pattern for mitering corners!

I just got home from visiting my mother in the hospital with cancer in Las Vegas and I came home to the package. I can’t tell you how much I needed that package today! It brightened my spirits from a very hard week!

Texastam 09-09-2018 09:02 AM

I just returned from Las Vegas I was there visiting my mom who was in hospital very ill from cancer. They didn’t think she would make it, but she is doing a little better. So, all that said I was there when the SP’s were assigned. I have yet to shop for my partner....but I will go tomorrow and hopefully has your package out on Tuesday. Please be patient with me.

Hints for my SP:
Your state has more Ghost Towns in the country. :shock:
In your state it is illegal for more that 2 people to share a drink.
Your state also has the most strip clubs in the country. :shock:

Have fun guessing. Lol

Annaquilts 09-09-2018 02:41 PM

I have everything ready but waiting on 2 special items coming from one seller. It should come in Sept. 14. This will make my package go out close to the cut off date. It is exciting to see packages making it home to their SP. I always love seeing what others receive and or send. Great packages!

quiltingdragon 09-09-2018 06:00 PM

I was hoping to mail tomorrow, but my boss woke me up at 8:30 am and I'm still working off and on all evening :( So I will try to make your handmade item tomorrow evening so I can get your box off to you asap!

Crispy_Frog 09-10-2018 10:10 AM

kwyltaholic 09-10-2018 06:06 PM

Mine is on it's way!

frsur33 09-10-2018 07:16 PM

Juanitabean I'm so glad you like everything. I am sorry the chocolate almonds look like they melted. I should have thought that through a little more :). Kaffe Fassett is one of my favorite designers. I'm going to be working on a quilt from his collections after I'm done with tula pink triangle quilt I'm working on.!!:)

JuanitaBean 09-10-2018 07:48 PM

The Chocolate Coconut Almonds are really good. I put them in refrigerator as soon as I got them. So I could taste them after dinner. What a little melted chocolate? It doesn't stop me . Thank you again for my Great Package.

Texastam 09-11-2018 09:32 AM

I finally picked out the items for my SP package and will have it in the mail tomorrow.

My SP lives west of me and she has had me as a SP before.

Annaquilts 09-11-2018 03:06 PM

My secret pal and I have something in common. We both have twin girls in the family. Waiting 2 more days for the items to come in and after that I am ready to send.

Mary Christine 09-11-2018 05:05 PM

My SP's package is on its way. SP, did you know that it is illegal to activate your burglar alarm without first nominating a ‘Key-Holder’ who can switch it off in your absence?<figure class="inline-media i-gallery align-" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: medium; line-height: inherit; font-family: &quot;Fira Sans&quot;; vertical-align: baseline; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 1px 3px; height: 520px; flex-direction: column; color: rgb(17, 17, 17);">[h=2][/h]</figure>

Thank you to everyone who has let me know you received your package and those who have mailed their packages. Two of my girlfriends and I went to LA for the weekend and went to a taping of Dr. Phil on Monday. I feel while I was there and am not as resilient as I used to be. Very sore and skinned knee and elbow.

Ladies OMG I got home from the doctor and had a package waiting for me. My SP was Deborah (Gaijin) and she sent me a box full of goodies. She sent me a Magazine with a t-shirt pattern in it,socks, two bundles of fabric and one of them is from Japan and also from Japan is the thimble and the marble head pins. A embroidery towel from Halloween, table runner pattern, lemon verbena bar of soap, small and medium size pouches they will come in handy. She sent me my most wanted item of fussy cut templates and a chocolate bar. Deborah thank you so much for everything I love it all can use it all.

I am sorry to hear that you fell and I hope you are healing fast but I do hope that you did enjoy yourself at the taping, did you get a chance to be right in front of the camera and do you know when it will be airing on TV.

Armylady2012 09-12-2018 02:58 PM

SP I am waiting for a package to come in the mail on Friday and then I will be sending you your package. More to follow.

Mary Christine 09-12-2018 04:35 PM

hav4boys,
I'm so sorry to hear that you fell and injured yourself! None of us are as resilient as we used to be - I know that for a fact, having fallen myself earlier this week. Take good care of yourself and no more falling!
