(Important Message pg 1 top) Christmas Ornament Exchange

[LastingAllure]

Ok I am hoping to get messages out tonight for the exchange. Sorry it has taken so long to doing this, life got in the way

[cairee]

I have picked a pattern and started stitching, all from stash so it fits with the stitching from stash challenge to.

[mauveme]

That's what I am doing later, picking from stash and starting tonite, New Dr. Who starting tonite so I can stitch when watching that.

[NeedleAndFork]

I need to do a bit of stalking to find out more of the sorts of things my giftee likes... so I can choose a pattern! I'm looking forward to picking out just the right pattern that I think my giftee will like and that I'll enjoy working on!

[perftangel]

I started today, but I'm changing the colors so I'm not sure if I'm happy with it yet.

Maybe I kissed this but when is the deadline for mailing them out again?? Not that I'm concerned but would like to know.

[mauveme]

I was just going to ask the same thing, I don't remember seeing a deadline.
I still can't find anything I like to stitch, going to have a good look tomorrow. just too hot to move right now. So very humid.

[NeedleAndFork]

Phew, so it wasn't just me! I was thinking I must have missed it somewhere and was planning on trying ot hunt that info down tomorrow. Granted, that's still very possible that I'm completely overlooking it. But if that's the case I feel better knowing I"m not the only one! LOL!

[fccs]

I don't recall seeing a mailing deadline, either, but surely it's not for anytime in the near future. I just found the chart I'm going to use.

[Linda Rose]

A sending deadline would be good to know. I have started Lasting Allure's SAL on Facebook and am quite enjoying the pattern. I will have to leave it for a while to get busy on my ornament. No firm decision yet. I thought I would spend some time looking at posts and albums from my secret stitcher to figure out what she might like.

Sorry about the deadline missing everyone could have sworn I had posted one

Since there are no over seas people participating in this exchange, only Americans and Canadians (shocking I know!) I would be comfortable saying the deadline to ship is mid November with the end of November being the absolute latest! I know when I tend to send things within Canada it normally gets there within a few days of sending it. So if you're shipping to the opposite country you live in send it by mid November, if you're shipping it within your country the end of November would be ok if you're in a pickle for time.

Does that sound good to everyone?

[mauveme]

Sounds good to me.

[Linda Rose]

Thanks for letting us know. Sounds perfectly reasonable...definitely works for me!

[perftangel]

Totally works for me! I knew I would be fine time wise, since I already started and all, but good to know I have wiggle room to change my mind on the design!

[cairee]

finished stitching! now I just need to wash it, finish it and send it!

[shadyglade]

I have mine picked out and I've ordered it, but haven't started stitching yet...

[msufly]

I'm still trying to decide which design to use...trying to use what's in my stash but want my person to love it too! Thanks for the deadline info though...it helps to plan it out!

[Linda Rose]

finished stitching! now I just need to wash it, finish it and send it!

Wow...that was quick! I am still undecided on what to stitch. I am on my way to year end at work this month, so I really have no plans to start before the beginning of October. Can' wait to have the time to stitch.

Linda

[mauveme]

Still making up my mind but plan to have it done by the beginning of Oct...

[perftangel]

I get distracted easily so I'm about 75% done stitching it... I already know how I'm going to finish it and everything... but the deadline is so far away.

[mauveme]

Finally found something and have it stitched, just sewing it up now. Had a hard time finding anything I liked, not really motivated for Christmas stitching but now that I am finished I am looking forward to more Christmas stitching. Need to do it by End of Oct as I have a new great nephew to do a birth announcement for , he is due in Nov.,,
