Grab Bag Chart Exchange

[Kute Kitty]

The envelope has made it to Leicester! And there's a lovely chart in there which is just waiting to be stitched for my aunt...

[Rose]

[talenaya]

[vanessanjf]

Oooh I want to see!

[Lizzieh]

Hooray! Which chart is it that you like. Do tell us!!

[Kute Kitty]

The chart I'm going to take for my aunt is the "sisters" one - a picture of a blonde girl and her older, dark-haired sister reading a book. My mother had dark hair and her younger sister is fair-haired so I think this will really make her smile.

[LauraUK]

Is this something I can join, or do I have to wait for a new round?

At this point I think we need to say that this is closed. We can set up another one when this ends but I have already told other members it was closed so I can't in good faith let any more join. I am sorry but I assure you that we will organize another before the end of the year.

Please before you send these charts to the next person be sure you get a confirmation from the member that they are still active and are still interested in doing this exchange.

[LauraUK]

No problem, Rose I had a feeling that might be the case I'll wait for the next one.

It was waiting for me yesterday when I got back from my mother in laws. i went away unexpectedly to look after her as she had had a fall and was unable to look after herself.

[Rose]

Oh Val I hope she is ok now. That is not good. I hope you can find a nice chart or two.

[Lisa]

hope your mother in law is ok now

[dwitt]

I definitely would like to join the next go round!!!!!!!

[Kute Kitty]

I realised I never took a picture of the charts I took out of the grab bag

These are they...

The "sisters" chart I'm planning to do for my aunt


The willow pattern sampler because I just love the willow pattern


And a geisha because I love seeing geishas in stitches. I have this bad habit of doing all my stitching for other people though, so I've never stitched one for myself. New self-imposed rules mean more stitching to be done just for me so I'm adding this lady on to my to-do list!

[vanessanjf]

oh I love geishas

[talenaya]

Just wondering what's going on with this.

I am not sure where the charts are but I do hope that they are moving.

[Lisa]

has the bag made it onto its next destination??

[Rose]

I don't know where the charts are now. I have asked a couple times and not got a response from anyone. I have a feeling that this is a lost cause and I have pretty much give up any hope that it will be finished. Really dissappointed that it got so confused but these things happen.

[borotracey]

I had an email from valb to ask for my address which I replied to...and on fri 3rd sept she replied that she would post them the next day....but I have not received anything or herd anymore from her...I do know that one of her family members has been poorly...so that may be the cause of the hold up xxx
