Spring Gift Exchange 2018

Post by Nicola Main »

Linda Rose did one of these last year which was very exciting and rewarding and I wondered if anyone would like to do it again this year? Here in the UK the clocks went forward by an hour on Sunday morning (still trying to get used to the change) heralding the official start of Summertime! You can stitch anything but bookmarks and cards seem to be most popular as they are flat to keep postage costs down but if you had something else in mind then that would be quite alright it's up to you what you stitch and if you don't mind paying more for postage then that's fine! Lets keep to a nice Spring or Summer theme and by participating you're agreeing to post a photo of your received gift :wink:

We'll keep the mailing list open from now until April 26th (one month) and then stitch your gift and have it sent by June 8th :dance: If anyone's interested please leave your name, which country you live in, and if you're fine for posting abroad or staying within your own country. Will update the mailing list on this post as we go. I'll start it off:

I am probably going to have to bow out on this one. Too much on my plate and I want to have the time to enjoy the stitching. I am sure I will regret this decision. I think I will wait on the deadline to make a final decision (I'm regretting my first decision already :tizzy: ) but for now I'm going to pass.

I too will wait a little while before making a final decision. I did manage about a couple of hours (in bits and pieces) of stitching a couple of days ago but my 'new' eye has been a bit sore since so obviously need to take more time resting it. There is ample time to decide.

Thank you Nicola for hosting this one, the last 2 have been fun that is for sure.

I’m considering it. I love the exchanges but I don’t want to commit until I get a couple things done. Please keep posting reminders (so I don’t forget).

In the top post I have amended the names and rearranged them so this will be our mailing list for our Spring Exchange! As usual you mail to the person below you in the list with the last person posting to the first person on the list. You must acquire the mailing address of your chosen recipient by private message and please give your full name and address as it would be written on an envelope. Please contact me if there are any problems.

You can start posting any time after today with the deadline being Friday 8th June (6 weeks away!). Once you receive your lovely gift please upload a photo of it so everyone can see! Please let us know on here when you have sent and received your gift so I can update the top post!

Have fun everyone and enjoy! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! :dance: :dance: :dance:
