Got a question for everyone... do you wait to sew for your SP so you can create in their favorite colors or do you make a variety of items and then send those? I am struggling as I have time to sew now for a couple of weeks but then May revision will hit at work and I will not see the light of day for April and May. Can anyone share how they do it? I so want my packages to be customized, but I have to work with in my personal parameters.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I usually sew in colors I picture the finished project to look like and I send fabrics in my SP's favorite colors.

Verna, this is just me, but why not step outside your comfort zone? If you're accustomed to traditional projects like the Dresden Plate, why not try something wonky -- crazy slicing and piecing, strips, a crazy quilt. Or just take some left overs and whack them up and see what happens.

I want to let everyone know I received the most wonderful package from CherylW and boy was the timing perfect..........I was feeling down because recently I have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer......and it was just one of those days......
First of all the box was so heavy.....................good sign of good things to come.........and come they did...........First I pulled out about 5 magazines............since I do not buy magazines they were greatly appreciated.......then I pulled out this lovely green fabric............as I went through my package I kept thinking about how nice it was...........a perfect shade of green.........later on I went to look at it better and what a joyous discovery.......it was a beautiful table runner............sure wished my camera was working.............but it's not..............so sad........
I also received some frog fabric which I am collecting ......and believe it or not I did not have any
Now my cat Dylan was going crazy ...........he could smell the catnip mice .........and wanted them NOW...........it was so funny...........I haven't told him about the cat yummies yet.............he is so spoiled............
Cheryl also sent Easter clings and 3 different kinds of notepads.............tictacs...........hand sanitizer............yummy smelling candle.........
Now that's not all .......I also received a desk needle threader.........buttons that have the cutest words on them...Hot stuff.....with a picture of an iron.....sew over it........sewinista.......etc..........
What really brought a smile on my face was bubble tubes...........can't wait till there is no snow on the ground and it is
warm outside to blow bubbles...................I want to be a kid again.............
Thank you CherylW for the most needed and perfect secret pal package..................

March SP pkg from...
Laquita! I was so surprised yesterday after a long day at work that it was a pleasant surprise to receive the package. She sent me 4 beautiful fabrics including a jelly bean motif perfect for Easter! A pedi bar that I'm going indulge in this evening. I work outside and my feet really need a pedi! Two quilt magazines, pins, a ruler that says "I Rule" (that's my motto at home!), a quilter's 1/4 inch bar and how I needed that one, my eyesight lately isn't as good as before and a stiletto! I collect and make those as well and this one is cute! If I missed anything I apologize Laquita but I do want to thank you for such a wonderful pkg!
