    Dee - thanks for explaining the thread catcher - that sure is neat now I won't have to pull all those threads off me - ha, ha, ha (it's too pretty to use!!!). How in the world did you make that gadget? I am so amazed at all the talent we have here - you ladies make the nicest things!!!

    I was very lucky to be sure. Dfelker sent cow fabric! cows! I love cows! I collected cows for years. everyone always gifted me cows so to get a fat quarter with cows on it was a big laugh for me. COWS! lol. and then of course the fabric that was made into my mug rug by sewbizgirl was lily of the valleys. My mothers favorite flowers ever. She is gone now for a few years and I miss her. Seeing the little lily of the valleys was a special reminder for me. So a big thanks to both of you once again. Its like you both NAILED it on the fabric. I always talk about my cats and love cat fabrics but this was something about me that I really don't mention. To get two surprises like that.. was a wow moment for me. you guys are sneaky I think. yup. grin. sneaky is good.

    Ok enough about me! lets see what your making ladies.. a tiny corner? a up so close you can see colors but not what it is photo perhaps? or a tease here like... oh chain link fences and... grin or trolls in the garden again... spikey leafs of say a raspberry bush .. or maybe just the two to fifty fabrics your using in the mug rug but not the mug rug itself.. who doesn't love a tease... share away with us we would so enjoy seeing what your doing! the 21s or 22 I will post sign ups for next month so keep your eyes always peeled for the new swaps! secrets! secrets!

    Jaba, it finally stopped, and now out of nowhere, I get this conversation box up.
    I remember Mary telling me to hit the double a's, and it seams to work now thanks.

    Snownannie, you are making me super curious!!! I have done some things with crayons...hmmmm... I have yours finished, but still want to add some other goodies, so will work on that before I mail to you. Such fun!!

    Sewbizgirl, what an adorable mug rug and goodies you sent to our wonderful leader! Love it!

    Lynnie, I am so sorry, but I can't seem to figure out how my Airdroid is working so I can post a couple of pics of the Grand Canyon. I got them all transferred to my computer from my phone, and I can print them, but can't seem to bring them up in my photoshop to size them to post here...I'll have hubby look at it again, but just know the postcards and pictures you see out there? They're really, really accurate and pictures just don't do it justice...magnificent views for sure.

    Well just look what I got in the mail today, from my partner ctyankee! She sent the prettiest MR with a paper pieced rose (wow!) and a dresden sun shining down on lovely green rows of garden! I just love it, Pamela-- thank you so much! I don't do either paper piecing or dresdens, so it's a pure delight to get those techniques in my mug rug... and done so well too!

    She also sent an adorable thread catcher and CHOCOLATES. This is a great swap package and I love it.
