what is a coffee keeper? i know very little about coffee and related products for the most part. i don't drink it, don't care for the smell nor taste of it so pay no attention to it at all, not even the fancy stuff at starbucks.
wow a doll quilt? that would require some serious thinking to pull something like that together. the thread catcher good idea as every one that i have made i have given in a swap so my threads are all over the place.

I love chickens...hmmm... is the pin cushion for me??
I also live near the shore and love dark chocolate. Then again, who doesn't love dark chocolate.
here's a hint for my SP: I've been collecting special vintage squares just like you.
package goes in the mail as soon as I finish my special gift ;-)

Your pin cushion is too cute for its own good!!!! Has anyone seen the 3D Rooster fabric? I bought myself a yard (3D glasses NOT included, though). It's a very nice print even if you don't have the glasses. lol.
i created a new pincushion for a swap and the response from the recipient has me thinking about making it for this swap. the thing is i didnt make a pattern for this pincushion i just drew the pic so it will be new to me all over again. lemme know whatcha think.

I see you are from Coram, LI, NY. I spent a lot of time there - my MIL lived there before she passed away. Huntington and Hicksville were my homes for a couple of years. Fond memories of the Island. My opinion is anything goes in this swap. I'm sending non-quilt related, and handmade - 2 things actually!! Stash stuff is fine. I have some fabric that I won't be using that is in a color my SP cannot easily get, so she'll be the lucky recipient of about 1/2 yard. If it weren't for the swap, I'd probably just donate it to the local charitable quilting club anyway. Just have fun putting together a package and have no worries.
HMMM... I'm new to this so here goes...
My SP lives in a town with an awesome library. I travel up past her town to go to a conference most years. She and I like some of the same things including happy colored fabric. We both are loose drinkers.
Two questions: I'm new to this. Is it ok for me to send a handmade non-quilt related item? and is it ok to send stash items if they match your SP wish list?
Happy Wednesday!

Boy, I just spend 15 minutes typing a Thank You to Painiacs and my pinkie hit a key and I lost it all. Anyway, Painiacs made me a very happy camper when I received her lovely (and huge) squishie this evening after work and a dinner date. What an awesome package. I have yet to be able to upload photos to the new board, so I hope the 2 I took of her generosity will be visible. 1 photo is all her handmade items. And the 2nd is of the many other items. There are too many to mention individually, but I'd like to say a special thanks for the 1990 small quilting magazine. My goodness, Hancock Fabrics had very affordable prices back then. $2.97 for a pkg of rotary blades. It's fun to read and look at the retro quilts and stories. Then there is a small swatch booklet to assemble - something I really need when I go to LQS's. Place for swatch, kind of fabric, when/where purchased, name of fabric, etc. I have never seen such an item before.
I am so grateful for everything, Painiacs. Thank you very much. Now for the upload attempt. Apologies in advance if it does not work.
