nice packages all. barefoot quilter that butterfly fabric is really pretty. i have been collecting butterfly fabric for a while for a quilt request. i havent seen any like that, just purdy.
my two sp packages are not even showing that they have been received by the post office. hmmmm.... i dropped them off on the counter along with the other 100 packages they had sitting up there. to my two secret pals, i can only say they should be enroute soon enough, one minus the chocolates but i'm gonna see what i can do about that. if i was a big chocolate candy eater, i would be eating them while i was typing this apology telling you how good they tasted (in my head of course)but alas, i will try to get something to you.

The SP this month are particularly spectacular aren't they?
I have a special request from my SP friends....Would any of you happen to have a past issue of this magazine June 2011? I'm nearly 900 Yo Yo's into making a coverlet for guest bedroom....when I saw this cover picture and like the idea of having a backing rather than just sewing the Yo's together. Yep I love making the Yo Yo's while watching TV at night. I've also place a request on ISO thread but I thought I'd give this thread a try since I've come to know so many SP here!

I'm willing to trade for fabric or buy it outright....I've looked on eBay but prices seem high to me and then add shipping .... thought I'd give this a try!

LOL yep I have ALL sizes from strips barely 1/2" (too small I image)
to just under fq size.
I will be filling boxes by grabbing hand fulls and dropping in box. I was
counting over the weekend how many bins I have and it looks to be
7 (or nearly that much) 58 quart size bins.

Michelle, it could be where the HUB (main place where all the mail goes to before coming to you) is for her area. It's like....I am in VA and if I were flying to FLA I would have to go up to PA and then down to FLA. That has never made sense to me but that's where that airlines HUB is. Does that make sense now?? A main office if you will.

Onalee...I HAVE IT!!!
I bought it for a different pattern in that issue!! If you don't mind it minus a couple of pages, you can have it or I can cut those pages out for you!! PM me and let me know your preference and it's yours!!

I totally agree with you Onalee. I LOVE my homemade gifts and always keep those, but have re-gifted other items, usually things like magazines, pins, a fabric I would probably never use.
I don't want to get anyone's knickers in a twist with this question but I've been pondering this since I joined this fun swap. This may have been discussed before I became active on this board so I'm just throwing this out there for thoughtful consideration.
I personally would NOT feel bad should I see something I sent to a SP in an earlier swap show up (in a posted picture) later in another SP package. If someone should re-gift something you sent them in a previous month would you be offended?
I personally could NOT/would NEVER, re-gift a handmade gift a SP or anyone made for me, but say for instance someone sent me a purple thang and I already have a purple thang or say a piece of fabric that I might never use, would it be tacky to send it on to someone else within this swap?

Do you have this magazine? It is the "Easy Quilts Fall 2011"
issue.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]304198[/ATTACH]
I am HOPING (hint hint hint Lori) that for the February sp swap
that I will get someone (on list "scrap list") as my partner so that
I can send them this magazine along with a bunch of scraps.
But I am also working on "building" scrap boxes to send off to some
people.
Yes I KNOW that we are still working on the January swap, but
I am already planning ahead and getting my box (maybe more than 1)
ready.
Happy Wednesday everyone.
