I was finally able to get to the Post Office yesterday. That 30 mile drive back home was the longest. But the wait was well rewarded. The box was so full. The only thing not in the photo is the Dove Dark Chocolate and I am sure everyone understands about that.
Just wait until you see the beautiful batiks and those potholders are incredibly thick, Linda58 must have an industrial machine to have sewn those. There are pins and needles, rotary blades, and one thing I always find handy -- a magnifier. I use one when I thread my sewing machine needles. A package of "Thank You Notes" -- I can never find one when I want to send a Thank You.
In case you cannot tell -- I loved my June SP package.

For those of us that are not so quick off the mark or are international senders, the wait for our partners is much longer and, I suppose, becomes interminable when everyone else is bounding around with glee. Patience is a virtue and as you pointed out it does not go unrewarded.
Thank you Lori for all the hard work you do on our behalf.
PS Despite the time on this post, it is 9 am here and the sun is shining brightly - a lovely day to dry the washing which is done and on the line.

If there is a problem, pm me. This is suppose to be fun! Angels have been dispatched to where they are needed and things are being taken care of. Like my mom used to say, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything. Everyone who signs up will receive a package. I don't want any more people dropping out because of all the negativity.
Just my two cents worth :)

No idea when things will be running smoothly again. So for those waiting for their SP package that are coming via Canada Post hang in there, the day of delivery will come. Dar

Yes I incorporate embroidered work in my quilting too!! I love to put the two together into fun original projects!!!! Right now though I am face and eyes into embroidering baby bloomers/boxers and onesies!!!! If you have a Facebook Page, check out Comfort Cove Designs!!!
