Hi everybody, I just realized, I am on of those that hasn't posted too often. I have been busy busy busy. I have been out of town and have not even started on my box yet. I have actually stopped at 2 places looking for just the right things for my giftee. But, all I came away with is one little ol' fat quarter. (although, I am confident that my partner will like it.) I can't wait to go out again. I'm sure I'm overthinking this. I love to give gifts!! And, my partner did give me lots of good hints. So, I'm sure next week will be fun, fun, fun!! (jingle, jingle, jingle)
As for myself, I did give my partner some info to go on. But, I love suprises. I really don't have a favorite color right now. I used to think, I didn't like green or orange. And yet this year, those two colors have just called my name. (although, not togehter) I wonder what colors I will gravitate to next year? I think I am getting these too colors out of my system this year. I like traditional and modern styles. The only thing I'm not really crazy for is oriental fabrics and animal prints. And, I made a quilt out of orientals for a friends daughter and an animal print one for a friend I worked with. And, I did enjoy working on them. I hope I haven't made it difficult for you. Really, I love homemade, I love suprises. Please don't stress yourself and have fun. My giftee is actually a bit more active on another thread on the quiltboard. Of course, that's not a very good clue. That could mean so many of you. :) (But, afterall, I wouldn't want to give away the suprise.) She is always gracious. I am enjoying the little peaks into her quilty world. I have been more of a lurker of late. I have been trying to get lots of sewing done. It is so addicting here on the quiltboard. |
Yesterday was a good day for my SS. I got a gift for her made and gifts for her furry friends. I will need a bigger box than the one I started with.
I would love to do more today, but I have a baby shower to go to out of town. I wish I did not have to go to work tomorrow, so I could get more done. |
Gotta get a couple more things for my ss person, then will start all the wrapping!! Hope she likes everything! I think she will, she will definately have fun opening everything!!!
So fun to hear all that everyone is doing for their ss. Can't wait till reveal day!!! |
Starting my SS box. Few more things to add. Maybe bells and chocolate???

I do not think you need to worry too much about colours. There was one person who posted no yellow at all, but I am sure the rest of us can use just about any colour that comes our way.
I know there are colours that I would not use for a quilt for me, but I would happily use them in a quilt for others. tlrnhi: What would it take for you to tell us? |

I got one of the two things I am making for my SS made today. I am really happy with how it turned out. It was not on her list, but I did some snooping and think she will like it.
I have to shop to finish the other gift, but am without a car for the next 3 days. Oh and something for the furry members of her family. |
Home from the quilt show and now have only one more thing to do for my SS box! Almost ready to wrap!!
