Dear Anna,
I went away this weekend and when I arrived home your wonderful package was in the mail. Thank you, thank you for the lovely two toned green dish cloth. I am really going to love it! And your note was very thoughtful also. I have your package ready to send now and I will put it in tomorrows mail. I hope I can make you as happy as you have made me. Again, my thanks,
Rebecca

!!! Rebecca !!!
The swap was for a dishcloth - you made an heirloom square of lace!
There is no way I can wash dishes with this masterpiece!!! The stitches are sooo tiny - you must of used quilting thread? - you must of spent weeks crocheting this!!! The color ecru adds to the vintage look and the accent ribbon in red is my kitchen (did you know?) But like I said, I won't be wiping anything down with this jewel. It's destine to reside on a peg rack near my sink along with a couple of my mom's vintage embroidered towels.
I am so blessed to have received such a treasure - it is truly a feast for the eyes. Thank you, thank you, Rebecca. I am humbled!!!

I just went to the mail box and had 2 goodies in there. Candy sent me the prettiest 2 dish clothes ever. And a scrubbie. And a cute pack of note cards. And some sprouting seeds! I am excited about those. But goodness girl. You went way beyond dish clothes. I knew I should have gone with my gut and did something else. So keep a look out for something soon. You are too sweet. And I love everything. Thank you so much.
Hugs, Kris

WOW
Ladies, you are awesome we are still a few days away from mail out and you are close to being done!!!!
Well done Farm girls !!!
If you enjoyed this one, I have posted the Halloween one today for sign up.
Also, I am sure deep down everyone knows this....but I am going to say it anyway. There should be no expectations with the dishcloth swaps besides sending a dishcloth that you made to another farmgirl. If you have the means, time or loaded craft room like me and would like to share some of that with your swap partner that is a bonus! I am sure your partner would be grateful but at no time should anyone feel uneasy that they cant!
Farmgirl spirit is about giving and funding the US Post Office with all our swaps :)
Hugs to All

Ha ha!! Love what you said about funding the US post office, I sure feel some times like it is my personal mission to do so! But a small price to pay when it means sharing farmgirl goodness :)
My dishcloths should go out Tu or W to Alicia. Thought I'd have it out a week ago but life keeps happening lol.....

I am mortified! The post I sent to REBECCA should have been to SUSAN HARMON. You could call it a blonde, senior, whatever moment, but I was distracted by a daughter who insisted on talking while I was emailing.
My fault totally, sure wish I hadn't done that. Ugh!
The magnificent "dishcloth" was created by SUSAN HARMON to whom my heartfelt thank you is intended. Susan, please forgive me - oh, how crushed you must of felt when you saw my post. I even emailed Rebecca to express my appreciation (her reply is how I realized my goof!)
I am sooo sorry for any hurt feelings my air headedness may have caused. I truly adore your work and appreciate you for giving soo much of yourself to me.
With apologizes & gratitude,
Anna
(Diana, I REALLY can have two partners - please give me another chance - lol) |

Janna your dish cloth is in the mail. Thank you for the beautiful acorn dish cloth. The pattern is so neat. Thanks also for the cool bar of soap. 
Life is precious! Don't wait to enjoy it. Do it now!

Dear Susan,
What a good sport you are, but I must say you set the bar very high for me to please Anna! LOL! I do hope Anna might be able to post a picture of the beautiful lace. You must be a very talented needle woman. Isn't it wonderful to have all these great Sisters to laugh and share with?
Fondly,
Rebecca

Dear Rebecca;
I am so glad to have finally met a group of women such as our Sisters. I love handmade gifts and have not had others to share with in a long time, Family excluded, they love it too.
Blessings

Cindy-
I got home from being away all weekend, and what a fun surprise to find your two beautiful dishcloths waiting for me! I've always wanted to try a cable pattern, and you just inspired me. The colors are lovely! Thank you so much! |

*******REBECCA******** I received your package!
I'm soo excited - I'll start at the beginning. . .
1st - the envelope is recycled, earth friendly! (I saved it to use again!)
2nd - everything is tied up with a pink satin ribbon, which I also saved.
3rd - THE MAIN EVENT - the cloth you created is spectacular!!! I've seen this pattern on-line, but was too lazy to attempt it. I am soo impressed - it took alot of patience, counting, attention! I love it and red is perfect for me, my favorite color, it's everywhere in my life. It's soo soft, too, I could use it for a facecloth.
4th - your note is wonderful (even matches the dishcloth/facecloth theme!)
5th - hand sanitizer in glitter-apple! I'm in healthcare - can't live without this stuff - now I feel like a girl using it . . . and smell good, too!
6th - what a great idea including a postcard from your state! Do you mind if I adopt that practice?
I am soo thankful, Rebbeca, to have had you for a swap partner. I will treasure these gifts from your heart. |

Anna,
I am glad your package arrived safely! And I am glad you liked the cloth, it was alot of fun to make. You make a great partner and I thank you for "taking me on" at the last minute. Please use my idea of a state postcard, it could be the start of a nice collection, something to remember our sisters by even after their gift is used up or used out. Thank you dear sister!
Fondly,
Rebecca
P.S. My new grandson was born this morning, Maxwell Thomas. Mom and baby both fine. What a blessing for us!

Catherine,
I'm so glad you like the jelly! This is my first year playing with chokecherries. I'll definitely be picking more next year! I'm also glad you like the dishcloth. :)
I got your package yesterday. The dishcloth is lovely and I love the scrubbie side! The soap smells lovely too, thank you!
A great swap!!
Alicia
