THANK YOU jnebug June You were the best Angel a person could hope for :thumbup:
Here is my reveal package :Box of chocolates ( couldn't show the inside :oops: LOL) 2 towels, a window suncatcher, a keychain clip on hand sanitizer, the patterns Stack'n Whack , Log Cabin Star table runner, Perkins Dry Goods, another table runner pattern with fabric and 2 30's fabric fat quarters :thumbup:

Thank You Kwhite and Jnebug it was a GREAT year :lol:

The person I was sending to was brushandthimble and she was not in chat last night so I hope she has a Merry Christmas and enjoyed the year as much as I did :lol:

Karen, we (PuffinGin and I) had such a great time working together on this "surprise" for you. It was tricky to keep it a secret from you, but we somehow managed. I'm glad your box arrived safely and on time. Sadly, my Angelee (PuffinGin) didn't get her box yet ... likely will receive it today!

And PuffinGin, my dear - I have so enjoyed being your SQA this year. It has always been a thrill to find something to send to you, and please know that I think of you nearly every day. When your box does arrive, there are 3 photos in it that I hope you treasure ... it's the angel we put on our tree at church in memory of your DH, Darryl. I hope you keep them displayed somewhere so you know our thoughts are with you always, and that we honor him in this very special way. When you sent me the e-mail with the news, not knowing that I was your SQA, my heart just broke for you. I wished I could wrap you up in a hug, and since you didn't tell "Lula", she couldn't respond in that thoughtful way she wanted. So I'm happy that I could find a little someone to help memorialize him for you.

It has been a wonderful year of surprises and friendships with this swap. I have had the most wonderful Angel (AussieCroydon), who surprised me with a great box of goodies that I opened early as she was not able to be in the reveal chat. I've sent her a PM thanking her for her friendship this past year, and we certainly plan to keep that friendship going. We're trying to plan a Skype call so that we can put faces to the names before Christmas, so if anyone else might want to do that, I'd recommend it as Skype is free!

Karen, again, thank you so much for being the bestest HEAD ANGEL we could have hoped for! You tolerated a lot of stuff from us ... some good, some bad, some ugly. But we're quilters and we will hang together no matter what. You kept a civil head about you and we did our best to follow suit.

(And lest she think we forgot about her contributions, Gaigai, you should be receiving a box from the whole lot of us, too, if you haven't already. It's got some specific things for you, to thank you for your part in putting so many of us together.)

What great friendships we've generated! Happiest of Holidays to all Angels and Angelees!

Thanks so much for everything. You are not kidding about trying to fit it all in. It was packed full of all kinds of wonderful goodies. I was blessed to have you as my angel. Hugs,
Deb

Everyone is thanking their angels and showing the gifts received from them......mine will be shown after Christmas as my Angel, Karie, sent it to Florida and I will open upon arrival there....

BUT...........

from my angelee, gramakitten, I received these beautiful remembrances of 2010.....and she now tells me that she knew me almost from the beginning..but she never let on.....


1st. pic..Christmas napkins which open to a semi circle napkin, goody-snacks for the holidays, a holiday pattern for 2011 (will take me that long to figure out the qpplique) and a cookbook of scrumptious delights.
2nd...A matching table runner, it is a lot longer but I shortened it for the picture.....it is lovely.
and 3rd....an Angel pin to keep me safe during my trip south.

thanks so much, Kathi and I wish you and all the quilting ladies a very Merry Christmas and a wonderfully happy New Year.

She has revealed her self! My lovely Angel is Laparshall.

May she be doubly and triply blessed in the coming year. I shall post the pics below.

The whole family got to experience opening my box and oohed and aaahed over each thing.

You can only imagine the frowns when I announced the cotton candy was for ME! Ha ha ha ha ha ha - they shall not touch my treat.

Now we can set out to become "real friends" this coming year.

I wasn't able to make chat last night and hope that my angel will reveal herself to me either here or by PM. PLEASE! Pretty please with sugar on top!

I got a wonderful box from my angelee - letsquilt - with two incredible turtle ornaments, a kit, and a pretty nifty calendar that I will be sure to use at school!

I also somehow forgot to open my card last night to find out who my angel was!! i remembered in the middle of 3rd period class today that I was allowed to open it last night!!

Aurora -- THANK YOU -- you have sent wonderful things all year, and the fabrics have been perfect for so many of my projects!! I also got your christmas card today - THANK YOU!!

=) Today is MUCH better than yesterday! =) =)

WOW!! I just got my box, and I am absolutely blown away! Thank you all so very much, I am absolutely surprised and thrilled!! But I really didn't do anything, Karen is the one who deserves all the credit. All I did was send out a few emails, I really don't deserve your generosity. But I do appreciate you. You are all the very best, and I love all y'all!!

I have to work tonight, and don't have time to take and post a pic now, but I will tomorrow morning when I get home. Again, Thank you all so very, very much!! Like Karen, I was totally surprised.

It's been so much fun to see all the lovely surprises and friendships made this year. From beautiful cards to floral arrangements and everything in between, you can tell the angels have been a busy and thoughtful bunch.

My angel STAR spoiled me rotten all year long and sent the most lovely things that she knew I would love. I have played with everything she sent me and my kids had fun with all the goodies she sent. I feel so lucky as I'm sure all of you do.

Happy holidays to everyone. May the memories of Secret Quilt Angel continue to remind you of the kindness of quilters.

Tomorrow should be better too! I forgot to put the card in the box. Hope you enjoy!

:D :D :D :D THANK YOU CATLADY :D :D :D :D

My Secret Quilt Angel is
CATLADY!!

Thank you Barb for all of the wonderful & thoughtful things that you have selected & sent to me this year!! :thumbup: I just love each & every item & am so thankful that you were my partner. I wasn't able to guess who you were, so this is a very pleasant surprise. I have enjoyed being part of the Secret Quilt Angel during 2010 & I feel like I have made a great new friend. I just hope that my SQA feels as blessed as I do. Again, thank you so much!!
Sulabug,
Cheryl

OMG Sulabug....is Miss Rosie a min pin...she looks like Miss Daisy...awesome box of goodies too :)

mary jane notice the "HEART" buttons on the table runner? your symbol right? GK/ Kathi

Brenda,
No, Miss Rosie is not a min pin, but she looks a great deal like one. We adopted her this summer form the Animal Shelter & they said she was a Terrier mix!! Thank you for asking!!
:D :D :D :D

Sharon, thank you for the goodies you sent all year! I love the last package, I will post pictures once I have a moment to take pictures:) I am going to use the pins to mark my rows as I so them together. I will think of you and your trips each time I look at my thimbles, thank you for thinking of me.

absolutely did notice them.......and yes, they are my, shall we say LOGO?

I try to put them on all of my quilts and whatever......long story how this all began........tell you about it sometime.

I just love that runner. I was telling DIL all about it tonight. She is coming Sunday so I will have it out for all to see..and then pack it away to take the trip to Florida with me.

Thanks again, Kathi.love it all............mj

Everyone has gotten really nice reveal packages.

My angelee was Dazzle Me! This is what I sent her for her reveal package.

Jennifer I hope you don't mind me posting the pics, I know you don't often get the chance to post.

Wow, WOW and triple WOW!!!! My Secret Quilt Angel was Nikki aka SugarPumpkin!!!! You certainly out did yourself!!! I LOVE my huge package!!! SOOOOOO much stuff!! What a pleasent surprise I got last night when I returned from Denver!! I don't know how to take a picture and post it so I will tell ya'll about ALL the package held!!!! I am in AWE!! You are AWESOME Nikki! You have made me feel soooo much better about this holiday season! See, we had a fire the day before Thanksgiving---we are living in 1/3 of our house--bedroom,kitchen and breakfast room. All the rest of our furniture is in storage, still have charred wood in fireplace area as they just released the house back to us so repairs can hopefully start this Monday, but we may have to wait until after the first of the year. We were so blessed in so many ways. But your package has just made me feel better about everything--Thank You Nikki, you were a GREAT Secret Quilt Angel!!! And now for my long list!!!!!-a gourmet shortbread & chocolate cookie pop (he's almost too cute to eat!), a red jingle bell ornament, an apple pie candle in a little tin so it looks just like a small apple pie and smells so good,wait, there's more....socks with a Scottie dog on them, really pretty fingernail files, wait there's still more---4 yes 4 much needed Shea Butter facial masks, recipe cards so no more writing on a napkin!!!, a cute journal so I can sketch little girl dress designs in (saw one just yesterday, so I'll sketch it today),a sinful looking milk chocolate peppermint ball-yum!!!, and 15, yes 15 different 1 generous yard pieces of FABRIC!!!!!! Yes 15 yards of fabric!!! Can you believe???? I am in Heaven!!! How can I ever thank you enough?!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki!!! What a wonderful day I am having!!!

I will post my pics later. I realized I took a pic of all the gifts before I opened them. I was really impressed with the choice of wrapping paper- I like to save wrapping paper (ask my kids it embarrasses them) and I was eying up the "Mater" paper. My SQA is Grama Lehr (Marie).

I downloaded the pics and then realized I didn't take "after" pics. Duh! Will do so later, off to ds & dil's to clean and paint their new house.

Loving all the gifts pics everyone is posting!

I am so glad you liked your package!
I am so sorry to hear about the fire in your house!
Let me know if there is anything you need!!!

Hi such lovely gifts have been received by everyone. Unfortunately my angel lost her way and I received only up to March. I cannot blame her as I do live in South Africa and postage is expensive.
to my Angelee Aussie Croydon I apologise that you did not receive as much as everyone else did. But I still have a few things to send you.

To kwhite, thanks for all the trouble you went through to make everyone happy... I know I gave you a few grey hairs...

To everyone have a blessed Christmas full of joy, love and laughter. May 2011 be a great year for all of you.
ciao ciao

My SQA Lula revealed herself to me on the chat on the 16th. My angel is Odessa Quilts, who I'd been working with on the surprise thank you for kwhite for some time. Isn't that funny!? And it tickled her that I didn't guess. I got a spectacular reveal package from her yesterday. It's just full of very wonderful things, many, many wonderful things. Thank you so much Odessa for all the great and thoughtful presents and the wonderful letter you wrote. I'll post pictures but want to describe presents as well: a beautiful snowflake card, a canister full of homemade decorate snowflake cookies, two framed pictures of an angel she bought and put on her church's Angel tree in remembrance of my DH Darryl who died unexpectedly in early November (Oh, Odessa, can't help but cry over your thoughtfulness)...
3 fat eighth assortments in pink, teal and brown, 2 quilt magazines just full of great projects, Godiva chocolates, lovely Dresden Plate notecards and a beautiful porcelain angel for my tree. If this isn't overwhelming enough, she also sent a a fabulous fabric with gold threads and 4 coordinating fabrics to make a great project. I'll need some help from you, Odessa, on deciding what to make. Also we will work on the mystery quilt together this coming year because I didn't get to it earlier this year.

Thank you so much, my angel and my dear friend. You've truly touched my heart.

Here's a closeup on the porcelain angel ornament so you can see what's written on it.

My adopted angels revealed themselves. They were OdessaQuilts and Dawn Hendrix Thanks for stepping in! Don't know who the other one is yet.

Dear Ybridgegal (Diana),
Hello my Angel. I was totally surprised at who you are/were. Never guessed it was you, course I like surprises so I did not try very hard. :)
Anyway, please know I am not one bit concerned that the last of your lovely gifts to me will be sent later. If I never receive another goodie from you, that would be alright because I made a new friend first and foremost and you have been more than generous. You are a lovely person inside and out. Thank you so much for your love and generosity through the year.
Please PM me your address as I have a little something I would love to send you. It is not much, but I wanted to get you something for being the bestest Angel ever.
As ususal, I am running late myself. School finals took precedence over eveything else. I passed all classes-four A's, two B's, and a C in Anatomy and Phys. Whew! I did it! Thanks for your encouragement through the year. It meant alot to me.
Don't forget to PM me your addy.
Merry Christmas and many thanks for being so wonderful.
