    Hello swappers!

    Just stopping to check in. I will be getting my secret pal package out this weekend.\

    Update on my mom: My mom is not bedridden and talks in one-word sentences. It has now been 10 weeks since the doctor made the projections of 2 weeks until 2 months. She made her 81st birthday.

    It is heart wrenching taking care of her but I am so thankful I can. As of Tuesday, I took a leave of absence at work to care for her.

    Have a wonderful day,

    Kathy

    I received an amazing package from Pati, logcabin82. Thank you Pati! She send a water spray bottle for quilting, basting pins, reproduction charm squares, two big pieces of Patriotic fabrics, fray check, binder clips and two stunningly handmade gifts, a pincushion mouse and a coin purse. The handmade items are made beautifully. I took a close up picture. So many of these items were specific requests. One item, I have never tried but have been interested in, a desk needle threader. I have been making primitive small quilts and many have some cotton or wool applique that I put on by hand. Can't wait to try this threader mechanism. She also send the most fun Halloween card that has a button that plays spooky music and lights up the ghosts. It is standing in the kitchen and the girls and I are having way too much fun with it. Again Pati, thank you for everything.

    Default Received my package!

    Rebaquilts sent me a perfect package this month. A large piece of red and cream print and numerous red and cream fat quarters (my most wanted item). Also, a useful pair of work gloves and a sweet card.

    Many thanks!

    Decided to spend the next two nights at home to have a break while my sister cares for my mom. Got home to this lovely package from Goatmom. Thank you so much. I love everything and appreciate the book too read. Love the potholders. Both are great.

    The package I sent to my international secret pal sat in US customs for 5 days, and my secret pal's customs for 10 days. It is finally going somewhere!
