Jaba so sorry about your brother, sending hugs and prayers.
Button, buttons.. I really want the five gallon bucket filled to the top. How fun would that be! |
PenniF, congrats on your day at Joann; love when everything falls into place like that! I don't remember seeing that LED light on the notions wall at my local Joann, so you really lucked out there.

Do you:......
1) like buttons? yes 2) like zippers? n 3) like wonder clips? (best invention ever I think) don't have any, would love to try 4) drink coffee, and/or hot heat? iced tea? soft drinks? no drink please 5) like Christmas themed items? (not just fabric but other items also) no Christmas please 6) like embroidery bookmarks? have enough 7) have any grand kids? (my first is due in April) one 10 yrs. old 8) put up a Christmas Tree? no 9) like handmade (machine embroidery) ornaments? no 10) would you like a travel cup/mug? o.k. 11) how do you organize your fabric? comic boards |
Well, if it were me, I would dream of a Babylock PR600 - six needle embroidery machine (I hate changing colors all the time on my machine embroidery and it also is faster!) . THEN I could dedicate my other combo machine - Brother 770 - to just piecing. If I got quilting in the hoop embroidery designs, think how fast I could do them!
But if you don't do machine embroidery, Terri, maybe you want one of the new machines with a bigger throat to make quilting easier. Hmmmm - I hear Viking has one out.

Nope, gotta put on your thinking caps for this one. It's not posted ANYWHERE!! Just gotta think. Hmm...if you were me, what machine would you want......think, think, think, think.......
|
My guess for the sewing machine would be the Juki TL2010-Q, because I have one and LOVE it!
|
My guess for Terri on her new sewing machine is going to be the NEW
Brother Dream Machine (since that is the machine dream of getting). |
I want to thank all of you that have posted and sent me PM's of thoughts, prayers and "cyber" hugs on the death of my brother. They are truly appreciated and have meant the world to me. Your acts of kindness have helped more than you know.

I am going to try to catch up with the thread, have been offline a few days as my mother is ill. I spent my day off on Fri looking after her, and she ended up going into the hospital that night. She thought she had a bad cold as she couldn't breathe - it was diagnosed last week as bronchial spasms - turns out she has blood clots in her lungs,and also in her legs. She's having a procedure tomorrow. So I am catching up online while everyone else is at church, I needed the sleep today.
1) like buttons? yes 2) like zippers? n 3) like wonder clips? (best invention ever I think) I love the little ones and would love to try the big ones 4) drink coffee, and/or hot heat? iced tea? soft drinks? cocoa 5) like Christmas themed items? (not just fabric but other items also) yes, I especially collect Snoopy/Peanuts Christmas 6) like embroidery bookmarks? yes 7) have any grand kids? No, I am only 32 and don't even have KIDS yet! :) 8) put up a Christmas Tree? Yes, I have 4 - the family tree, my Snoopy tree, a Disney Tree, and a snowflake tree! 9) like handmade (machine embroidery) ornaments? My family tree is full! 10) would you like a travel cup/mug? yes 11) how do you organize your fabric? Folded on shelves, with drawers for anything under 1/2 yard or scraps. |

My Santa-er knows what I like, HA HA HA LMAO HA HA HA ROTFLMAO HA HA HA
|
I want to be sure that everyone knows you have to PM Terri with your guesses. I don't think that posting here "counts" as she'd have to read through all the posts to catch them.
PenniF, I went to Joann today and got one of the LED lights for my sewing machine. Thank you so much for alerting me to that! |
i was going to place myself in the hole by mailing box to my ss real soon so she would have to wait close to 2 months to open it but i see there have been others with the same idea. Course since she doesnt live clear across the country, maybe it would still be the first to ARRIVE at its destination. HMMMM---that might be a possibility. will have to get busy and finish making that handmade item.
|
hey is there any Bacardi or Blue Hurricane in the hole to add to my diet mountain Dew?
|
I do see some of the responses, but yes, please PM me your answer. Want to make sure that the person(s) with the correct answer wins. If I don't see it on the thread and you have the correct answer, I may not see it.

COOL !!! I went back today as well as i still had a 50% off anything that i hadn't used. Found something GREAT for my SS'ee.... THEN totally blew my being good and not buying fabric by stocking up on some white on whites - which i was very low on..... THEN since i've been feeling quilty about making quilts for my sister and niece, bought some turquoise and orange (Miami Dolphin colors) to make a D4P for my BIL. I CANNOT go back to the fabric store again because i CANNOT add anything else to my Christmas to do list !!!....had to smack myself twice to move away from the Christmas fabrics !!!!! |
Penni, that place is addictive. I was in there for two hours. They had an extra 50% off clearance cottons so got a few of those plus some remnants plus a pattern... it never ends. I lose all track of time in there. Bet your BIL will love his quilt!
|
Finished making the last item for my giftee & will go through the box & really see what I've accumulated for her throughout the year & lately...then after my craftshow 10/18 I will get busy wrapping & hopefully get it sent off before Halloween...I'm actually early this year...got myself more organized (WOW! WHAT'S THAT?).:p:shock::shock::shock::p:D:D:D
|

Zippers...yes Buttons...yes Mug rugs...yes Coffee...no Chocolate..not so much Favorite fabric color...orange Sewing notions...more like quilting sewing notions yes Quilt patterns/books ...I have tons, so I'm not sure I need any more Regional shirt...yes XL Regional items...mug yes, quilting items yes, not much else Pincushion...heck yes!!! Please, I have pins everywhere!!! Socks..yes, fuzzy ones are my favorite! I think I got most of the items!!! thank you, this is so much fun |

One other thought for you SheriR....i think that quite a few of us are the "makers" in our families. Except for the precious things i get that my DGDs have made me, i don't actually ever receive hand made items from anyone - except at Secret Santa time.....and i am always tickled as can be to get them.

Your dream machine is a Brother Innovis NX650Q with all the bells and whistles, needle threader, large harp, knee lift, programable stitches, sews sideways, embroiders monograms, and best of all, it takes about 10 minutes to learn to operate!
Thank ni you all. I sent her a PM |

SheriR - Those buttons are absolutely adorable!

I'm new to this swap this year so need to ask: What is the deal with the "hole"? What hole are you all talking about? Is this some sort of virtual game?

No...we know it's because you just feel sorry for the other button holes - cuz they only have 1. We understand.:thumbup:

Just have to tell you all something funny that happened today. I think a lot of the newbies here -- and maybe some repeat SSers don't really "get" the concept of the hole. I posted earlier today that I was headed there to kick my feet up with a mimosa. So what was I really doing during that time? Cleaning the bathrooms! There I was with the brush in my hand scrubbing the bowl thinking how glad I was that I could at least be enjoying my virtual mimosa at that moment. The hole is all in good fun with no calories, no hangovers, and lots of great company; you can't beat that! I think our hostess, Terri, started the hole as a punishment when posters were naughty (long before I first took part in the SS swap) and needed to be put into the timeout corner. But those creative quilters just turned that on its head and made it into the most popular place to be for everyone in the swap. Not that some of those in there aren't naughty, as you'll find out soon enough... |
Like bookmarks, love buttons, no zippers, no Christmas items, love Mug Rugs and homemade items. Would like to try the Wonder clips, don't have any. Love sewing notions, always need seam ripper. No pin cushions, have many, love fuzzy socks.
First time doing this swap and didn't know to list your wants and not wants. Hope this will help my SS. |
CoodyIN, thanks for the info. Thought that was the problem but also thought maybe someone else took it over and I just didnt see it.
For those of you that participated in the past years Good news. I have asked Admin if I could host one this year and once I get everything written down I will be posting signups, Hopefully by end of tomorrow. So sad I missed the deadline for the SS here this year. Things have just been crazy here and time flew by before I realized it. All is good though. I can still read all the post and of course jump in the hole when I am feeling a little slanted. LOL |
