Might gain too much weight eating all those goodies you make. :):):) Hope everyone who gets something will post or let the host know so she can post the new swap.
I know my SP won't forget about me. Shipping day is Saturday, I give a week or two after that before I go to the bench. If I start a diet now, I may break even!

I'm looking forward to mine coming! ; ) Adorable pincushion! Handmade touches are so nice in these swaps. Is it filled with walnut shells?

Great Aunt Jacqui sent things I would never have thought of receiving, but boy am I happy she thinks of things I could not imagine receiving:
Three batik FQ's, a bar of her favorite soap (can't wait to try it), some red fabric (always a necessary color in my book), paper seashells loaded with wildflower seeds (will be great in my wildflower garden -- I think she might have made these herself -- even better!), a small hand cutting mat (for those necessary quick touchups by the sewing machine), a seam guide (which was on my wish list -- how do they know these things?), and of course, dark chocolate (which along with a glass of red wine maintains my piecing sanity).
I am as happy as a cat in a sandbox!

It's a yucky rainy day here and I've enjoyed seeing everyone's packages this morning! Thanks for sharing!

Going to the post office today to mail out my SP package...Just under the wire....that is not like me at all, I usually send mine out waaaay early, but was waiting for a specific fabric that is her favorite to arrive...I have today off of work so today is shipping day to MT....P.S. I was off of my computer all weekend and came back to 15 pages of posts, love this swap, everyone is getting such nice packages!!!!!!
