Tell me, oh, wise ones...should I sit out or go for it??? Inquiring minds want to know :P

I did just that this April, When I filled out my form for Suzanne I just had it state that I would not be home until a certain date. My SP sent it just right and it was there when I got home.

I would go ahead and do it.

Terryl,you can make bags too!!!You must teach me a thing or two about sewing :thumbup:

Those on the bench, hope you get your packages soon, I'll share some of the raspberry iced tea that my pal sent me with you all.

Candi, that bag is a pattern I got from a board member here Larkspur Lane Designs, it's a quilted gift bag, was really easy to put together, FQ friendly, next one I make, I think I will put a little something stiff in the bottom.

I received many lovely things from TFQuitler.

I received a Snow man wall hanging kit that I will be doing after my quilting classes are done. I have one more class next Wednesday night. So after that I will be getting on it!!!

I received a homemade Santa that TFQuilter has made. He will be going with my collection!!! You did a wonderful job on him. I cant wait for Christmas now so that I can put him out. I actually think I will put him out anyhow!!!

Machine needles were also a great idea. I never thought of giving them in the swap and I am so happy that you sent me some as I know I will be using them.

And a seam ripper!!! I can't wait to try it out!!! I so needed one!!! I had just broke mine.

And of course the mint chocolates!!! My all time favorite. I have to confess I opened them up right away even before I ate supper and ate two of them. They are so yummy!!! I haven't had these kind before as in the maker of them. But they are delicious!!

And for the fabric! I so love the ladybugs!! It is very pretty... I haven't been able to find any here. So thank you. I am going to save it for something special and I am not sure yet what.

I also like the white and the red with the yellow .. also very pretty.

And the green I really really like it. What kind of fabric is this??? Is this what they call batik?? (pardon me but I am not sure as I am new to quilting)

Please enjoy the pics of my stash!!! I want to Thank you again to TFQuilter for the awesome package!!!

You are so welcome...:)
