    Don't feel as if you must contribute, everyone has been so kind on this board, I didn't think it would hurt to ask.

    Am I being too foreward to ask? If so, please forgive me.
    Just finishing up a little surprise for you.
    I'll get it in the mail - Ummm....maybe tomorrow.

    Last night after I signed up to join this swap I shopped for fabric! Yes, I bought 6-1/2 yards of Mama's Cotton, authentic 1930's reproduction prints from Connecting Threads, on sale!!! I have some 1930's fabric in my stash, but not enough. So...once the fabric arrives I will be busy.

    There are several shops I like but I buy them almost anywhere I can find them these days because they're disappearing in my area....

    WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! How nice of you to think of us! Poor Em has been pretty sick- bad bad flu. They've mentioned hospitalization, but we're holding off until we HAVE too. We're trying a medication that seems to be working... so I have been reading the posts, but not responding.

    Thanks 2Doods! Now I will be stalking the mailbox. Im sure Em will feel better once she gets her goody- lol. :lol: I really appreciate your thoughtfulness, now I can't wait to see what we are getting!

    BRT-
    It is in the mail. He said 3-4 days. So either Saturday or Monday,maybe?
    It is just a little something to get your collection started. I hope it will all work together.
    {{{Hugs and Kisses to Baby Em!}}} Hope she gets feeling better soon.
    And you get some rest too, so you don't get it!

    Oooh BRT, I'm so sorry to hear about Em... I'm behind on messages here.. I hope she's doing better now since it's been a few days since this was posted.

    I also sent you a PM about a block change.. hope it's not to much trouble to change me from that one block??
