What was even more surprising was that this beautiful thread came from a short distance from where my son lives. How about that for coincidence?
It is late here, but I promise that as soon as I can, I will post a picture of these lovely threads.
Thank you Liz aka Helen. It was an incredible surprise.

Family and I are heading out for spring break vaca on Friday and will be gone 8 days...receiving SP package would be a great way to start spring break or a great surprise when I return.
Checked on my deliver and even though I mailed it last Friday, no new data is available from USPS. geez...

Ya'll mean you want to do another swap in April?
I've sent a PM to ask permission so you should have a sign up coming soon. we have 185 swappers so we can't have ANY person get left behind. We had too many in February that didn't get anything (7 to be exact).
I don't want to be harsh on anyone and I know that life does get in the way but if the only way I hear from someone is when I have to ASK if you have mailed your package, you don't get to play anymore. Tough noogies!

Of course I want to do another swap. How disappointing it must be for the swappers who were left out!
I agree that if a person doesn't follow the rules they shouldn't be allowed to play anymore. We all have life issues, but even a simple pm to explain would be considerate.
My package has been sent, unfortunately I forget to tell my dh to send it priority, he sent it first class parcel post. Hope "she" likes it when she receives it. Somewhere southwest of me!
Suzanne you are doing a fantastic job as a swap hostess! Thank you!

We sure want an April swap :) and your rules sound quite fair. Thanks, Suzanne.
I can't believe 7 people didn't get packages in February, that is too many!

I will take it. Thanks a lot for the info and encouragement.
[quote=candi]I took the class last week and LOVED quilting in the longarm, Friday will be my first real quilt session. I am just going to be using free motion, no pnatographs or complicated designs. I am not that sew-talented, and I thought free motion quilting on the longarm is so much easier than my machine at home and so much more enjoyable.
As I am told, it'll take about three to four hours to quilt a queen size with an all over design. If you have the opportunity, I urge you to try it, I personally loved it.
