Jean I do not think I will be hosting another for awhile but someone working on the expert Shopping Green badge might.

I received my bag from my parter - Linda a few days after my surgery. I received an e-mail from her and she is aware that I received my package. I have e-mailed her to notify her that her package is being mailed this week.
Thank you.

I have you down as tote received Viola. Just trying to get everyone to mail out their totes by the agreed mail by date. We still have about 9 totes not yet received. Is there anyone that has not been in contact with their partner lately? I know that things come up. That is why I did the triple confirmation in the beginning. The deadline is quickly approaching. Please have those totes out by Saturday.

Reminder emails have been sent for uncompleted swaps. Ladies I don't want to sound like I'm harping but please get your totes in the mail by Saturday. Prior to assigning partners I asked each of you to agree to the scheduled dates which each of you did. Please email me immediately if you do not plan to complete the swap so that arrangements can be made for your assigned partner to receive from someone else. I have been in swaps where I did not get a timely return and it makes you feel pretty bad. Some of you have emailed me and your partner that situations came into play and all I ask is that you send as quickly as possible.

Hi Anna,
To find the tote do a search "plymouth yarn knit market bag" then look for "fantasy naturale market bag".
I really like this bag because it is all done together, some of the other bags I found you knit pieces then sew them together.
The pattern calls for size US 15 cicular needles, I made one bag that way and it was HUGE but it works great for paper goods
I think I ended up using size US 13 circular and instead of having 100 stitches around I changed it to 72 (I think) I can't find my notes and I've made four bags each one was changed a little. Let me know if you have any problems finding it or questions with it. I'm not an expert knitter but I've made a few things. and I have fun with it.

Please continue to post as you receive your tote. Now that the mail by date has past please include in your post if the package was postmarked by May 15. All totes mailed by today should be received within 7-10 days so I will be drawing a name for the free tote on June 1.

Vi, Thank you so much for the lovely prizes. I loved everything and you did not have to send me anything at all. I hope that you are doing better and I am working on your package and hope to get it out next week.

Delicia:
I am glad you liked your package. I love my bag with my Farmgirl - name on it. That is my book bag I carry with me anytime I am going some place. You do not need to send anything. When I reeived your package - it made my day. Dealing with surgerys and now radiation - the comunication will be more then enough. It is hard for me that I cannot go 100 miles an hour like I am use to. Yesterday I sewed and it was a good day. I made 13 pillow cases to donate to the Better Homes and Garden - American Patchwork - 1 Milion Pillow Cases Program. So far I have made 35 - my goal is 100. I stay home the majority of the time, so reading, and sewing, spending time with my grandkids (once a week) is what my weeks are made of, plus docotor appointments. So please you do not need to send anything - a card once in a while and to share and get to know each other will be fun.

Vi, I have seen the advertisement for the pillowcase thing. I am trying to learn to sew but, so far it is slow going for me. I have the hardest time with the patterns. I think I rip out about 50 times on each item that I make. I am glad that you had a good day yesterday. What kind of books do you like to read? How old are your grandchildren? Do they live close to you?

I received an email from necobia/Lois today that she has received totes from both her partners and that her's have been mailed to them. We still have a few others waiting on totes. Has anyone heard from Laurie Rae? sassycasie/Casie is her partner and both Casie and I have been unable to contact her. She was very enthusiastic in the confirmation emails and stated that she had her tote ready to send but has not been heard from since.
Thank you to everyone that participated in the swap. I enjoyed it and hope you did too. As soon as the remaining totes are received I will be applying for my expert shopping green badge. Thank you for helping me earn the badge. Be sure to check this thread June 1st to find out who the winner of the free tote drawing is.

Oh my gosh, ya'll. I received my package from Nicola today and have been doing my happy dance ever since. Thank you,thank you, thank you a zillion times. Nicola, you are so creative and talented. I love all my goodies. I've been showing them off and had everyone oohing and aahing and wanting to know where I got my stuff. Not only did I get two totes, but a really cute clothes pin bag too. This was my first swap and it's been wonderful. I'm going to attempt to get pictures on here because these are just too cute not to show off.

Delicia:
Well my grandaughter turned 3 yesterday. My grandson will be one next month. They live in town, so they come out and spend a day with us weekly.
Books - I am ready The Elm Creek Quilts novels. This is going to sound funny but I buy and read stories that includes words pertaining to sewing, quilting, threads, ie The Healing Quilt. I like to collect books. I always go to second hand stores, garage sales, I collect hardback books in good condition.
I collect cookbooks, sewing books, bottom line - I like books.
I should send you the free pattern I got at one of the quilt shops - to use for the pillow case project.
What colors do you like - enjoy your day.

I love the Elm Creek Quilts novels. I've read all but the last, I think. There are several mystery series based on quilt blocks, too, like the Benni Harper series by Earlene Fowler. I have enjoyed all of them.

Hi Judy,
I am so glad you were happy with your totes :). I got the idea for the peg bag on here somewhere but they used baby dresses. I am really sorry that I had such a hard time getting to post this off to you. These swaps are so much fun.

Nicola,
The time was not a problem. Besides, you made the deadline and it was worth waiting for.
