There was a darling "sassy and chic" key chain in the shape of a ladies hat, a very pretty cup and saucer (I collect them), a gorgeous card with the center cut out in an oval shape with a machine embroidered fall leaf in it. I am going to frame it and put it on the wall of my sewing room (if I can find an empty spot LOL). A yummy package of Lindt Lindor chocolate truffles and a package of Ferrero Rocher chocolates, the cutest pattern called "What Fabric" by Needlesongs and 2 FQ's in the Blenders pattern that were yellow and orange and I love them. I know that Alissa spent a lot of time putting this package together and I am sorry I couldn't show you a picture. I am a lucky quilter to have had her for a secret pal. Thank you Alissa

I would love to be in the quilting sisters swap but unfortunately I wouldn't be able to commit to make something every month as I am so busy with other commitments. I understand that the monthly secret pal had to be changed and it is such a shame as most people I am sure enjoyed the friendship that went the swap. I certainly did. Thank you so much Bonnie and Suzanne for all the hard work that went with orgainisng the secret pal swap.

But I understand that it is hard to keep up with it and make everyone accountable. I just sure hope there won't be any slackers with the new swap..my guess is that there will be though.

Candie,
You are probably right, seems there is always a few that ruin it for the many. :-( I will never understand why someone wants to be that way...it really is beyond my comprehencion

It is a shame that this has happened. There was no need for it. There were several of us who volunteered to be sure everyone got a swap....all that had to happen was to send us the info and the gift would have been mailed. But for an extra PM, everyone would have been happy. Now 95% of us are punished for the actions of 5%...how is this fair?
