    PamelaOry, I am so glad you liked them. Bug looked at me while I was packaging your stuff up, like I was a traitor giving away his treats. They were bought for Ellie but But thinks all treats are his.

    Love looking at everyones treats. Its like watching people open gifts at Christmas!

    I received a package for RHLinkletter. What a package it is. She set me up for my new love, English paper piecing. I cannot wait to make the scissor keepers int eh Care Bear fabric. I just need to get feeling back in my fingers. She included daffodil fabric not knowing daffodils are my favorite flowers. The scrap with the London taxis on it is my favorite. Thank you RJ.

    Every now and again I need to do a public service announcement. I want to keep the swap fun and have everyone enjoy the swap. It has come to my attention a handful of times over the last three months that individuals are using this swap to get rid of fabric in their stash they no longer want. That is not the intention of this swap. Getting a package of old fabric or magazines is not what most want to receive. If you have questions on what to send, go to a past swap and look at the pictures.

    As the rules say, send like-new or new. No one wants to receive stained or holey items. Please do not send this type of fabric. Additionally, unless your secret pal asked for a different type of fabric than quilting cotton, please only send 100 percent cotton fabric.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a PM . I know I have not been around much, but as I get stronger, I am going to be around more.

    Thank you,

    Kathy

    thank you for bringing this up Kathy. I can definitely tell when my secret pal has put together a package with me in mind and when they have just used the swap as a way to get rid of unwanted old things. It sure feels a lot better when my secret pal reads my preferences and tries to get me things I will like, so that’s what I do.

    case in point, my secret pal this month not only got my most wanted item, she also bought me some of my favorite kinds and colors of fabric! It was such a thoughtful package. Thanks Bugaroo!!

    I’m so pleased you like it - and until you get full feeling back the book should keep you busy - I found it fascinating when I bought it and keep re-reading sections so thought it would be perfect.

    Like you daffodils are my favourite flowers (well technically it was lilies and their gorgeous smell but since having a kitty I have had to sacrifice these and pretend they don’t exist haha).

    Mary Christine-
    Thank you so much for my goodies. They were amazing and I am so excited to make time to read my new book. I hope you enjoyed your package as much I did mine.

    Thanks,
