Hey everyone, it's time to get those fqs in the mail for our December born babies! They can go out any time now and the 5th. Their birthdays aren't until the end of the month so there should be NO problem getting them there on time. Let's finish up the year in good fashion, ok?
Happy birthday to: Mtn Laurel - December 26 Elainetoo - December 29
Thanks to Sue B for stepping up to host this swap next year. Let's all Please do our part in getting the fq's out in time and not make her come looking for us, ok?

I have not mailed yet but they are ready to go. I drove myself to the doctor last tuesday and I had to get help to get out of the car when I got home. I was able to get up and down by myself yesterday and some better today. It will probably be Monday before I go out to mail anything.
Well after 3 days of forgetting to take them with me, I finally got them mailed today. That's what happens when I get the envelopes ready early. I think I'm done.
Birthday greetings are on their way. Happy Birthday, ladies.

The smallest Cross in the corner is the one you put in the room.
I hope all our daily ups and downs are with needle and thread.
Our lives are like quilts - bits and pieces, joy and sorrow, stitched with love.

At the risk of sending the wrong fabric - what is the definition of "novelty"? Does that mean "themed"? Never heard the term used in quilting before, and I want to make sure I send the proper FQ!

OK - since no one ansered my question, I'll just have to take a stab at it and hope I got it right about "novelty" fabric. FQs are going out tomorrow regardless.

Elle,
I had the same question a few years ago when someone wanted novelty fabric. If you go the www.fabricdepot.com and click quilting fabric and from the list choose novelty, that will give you some idea of what novelty fabric is.

THANK YOU Deb!! I was at my LQS this afternoon, and picked what I thought would be OK (and represents my locality, too!), so looking at what you directed me to, I did good! Hope the birthday girl likes it! Again, thank you so much! I just want all the birthday folks to be happy!

In order to see the rainbow, first you must endure the rain.

Big Sister - it's early enough that Sue B may let you play - unless your bday is in January. PM her, ok?

I received a flowery fq from Kentucky Sunshine today. It's beautiful. Thank you, and sorry you had to remail. I hope your original envelopes find their way back to you.

I am so sorry ladies. I thought I mailed my FQ's out a few wks ago when I sent out my grandsons package but I found them sitting on the dry sink today. I mailed them today. Again, I am so sorry. Hoping you have a very happy birthday!!!

WooHoo! We are getting wrapped up nicely! This is SUCH a relief. Thank you Ladies for all your effort and diligence. I know the mail can be a mystery at times - I like to think that someday all that fabric that is lost will be found and used for good one day...
Now, for those of you who have signed up w/ Sue B's swap - be as good to her as you have to me and don't forget to get that FIRST fq for 2013 out on time

Will get them out on Monday.
