I am still working on my package, but here is a picture of the wonderful gifts from ladyredhawk. I love bargello quilts and the book has a placemat pattern to get me started. I really love it all, thanks again Tommye!

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!

I am going to the post office this morning. I had planned on sending it on monday, but..I was taking my mother shopping and she fainted in the parking lot of Walmart. What a scary thing! She was in the hospital emergency for 8 hours..then the next 2 days we had to see all kinds of specialists. Secret pal your present is on its way!
I agree with Suzanne's rules. I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't send the swap gift out.
Peace and Blessings,

Candi have you quilted on a long arm before? There is a quilt shop in my area that rents their long arm and offers classes on how to use it. I want to take a few of my quilts with me to quilt on the long arm.

I wonder how difficult it is to use and how long does it take to quilt one quilt (lap size) on a long arm.

It all depends on what design you want to quilt. I did a large lap quilt, 70x88 with a computerized all over meander, it took just a little over an hour, though it took about 2 1/2 hours ro get it loaded on the machine. I find that's where most of the time is taken, I had a quilt have a big wrinkle in the back once (thankfully just for DGS who didn't care) so now I'm extra careful and check, check and re-check the way I have it loaded before I start quilting. You know, measure twice, cut once :lol: :roll: :lol: :roll:

We have the go ahead to do an April swap WHEN all the February packages and most of the March packages have been delivered.

I'm looking to start the sign up around the 19th and close it out by the 2nd of April. If you have a better suggestion, I'm definitely open to them.

Anotherday,

You are sooo lucky - grammynan makes wonderful things! I bought one of the machine needle cases from her - I LOVE it!!! Now I know where my needles are, which one's I need and which one's I have. I take the whole thing to Joanne's and the LQS so I can check, just in case there's a sale on needles. Isn't this just so much fun!!!
