Hope all goes well with your knee surgery, Crispy_Frog.

BTW, very interesting board name you have. Can I ask how you came by it?

I have a question. I know the candy needs to be 100% nice cotton. I wanted to know if anything goes as far as florals, prints, novelty, nursery, solids, batiks, holidays or whatever? Thought I'd ask before I start cutting. I've already been in touch with our fearless leader.

Welcome oldcatlady!! Glad you are joining us. It all works for me, I'm gettin' into these little candies

Just to remind all of you, if I'm not on here for awhile....my hand surgery is tomorrow and it may be awhile before I can use it

I had to go out last night to pick up Birthday cards and over lunch today I went to the PO to get stamps so I could finish up the 2015/2016 swap. So while I was out I also stocked up on cards and stamps for the 2016/2017 swap. Now all I have to do is get my fabric cut and I will be all set.

Just a reminder for the fabric you pick....100% cotton is a must...other then that we love it all!

Anoka Quilter and all- Since this is my first swap, could you tell me approximately how much postage will cost for one average-sized card with the 50 charms in it? I'm guessing two stamps. Does that sound about right?
