Just received mine as well! Youngest daughter and I had fun looking through them. The wheels in my brain are turning, but I don't really get to use them until I finish hand quilting the one I'm on (should finish tonight) and a thank you table topper for a relative. THEN I can play with the purples:)
Thanks, Red, you are an awesome hostess!!

Thank you, Red! That was fast!

I received my package with the purple charms too! Thanks to all!

RedS, Thank you for your time and efforts. It was a lot of envelopes you had to deal with.
Your experiment with the clips was interesting. What type of glue did you use? I wonder if it would help to rough up the clip with sandpaper first, in order to help the glue hold tighter? The fabric was cut so perfectly, I wondered it you cut it after it was attached with a razor blade or exacto knife?

Received my beautiful purples today! Thank you fellow swappers and than you Red for letting me join the swap at the last moment.

No purples yet but I feel there is plenty of time for them to get here. In the meantime I can be happy for those that have received theirs.

Hi Givio: I was experimenting with fabric glues. I was wondering about adhering issues, so if any of you have any please let me know. I think your idea of sanding the clip lightly first might be a good idea. I also was wondering about mod-podge (like what we used back in the 70s!). As for the cutting? I took a 2.5" charm and cut in half and then just trimmed to the length I needed. Was relatively easy, and I think I see more of them in my future. Might be fun for the office, or even office coworker gifts. Glad you liked them! :)

Sunrise if you don't receive today, please let me know as I mailed them all priority mail. I'll do a tracking for you if they don't arrive for you today :)

Red I make shabby chic clips and sell them to hold a small picture .sold a lot to co workers. I use cloth washi tape . I have used paper with mod podge also works. I put flowers pearls exc. I will send you a few maybe will help you create yours.

LJ: that sounds like a great idea. I'd love to see some pics! I am not good at creativity, but I can do a mean copy ;) hehe

Received my purple charms today and they are awesome! Thank you, Redstilettos for hosting and for the cute clip - very clever!
