thank you very much SS sorry I cut the side of my finger off right after I recieved you gift so I am not suppose to be on the computer due to getting infection again For some reason they say it is a dirt key boards that will do that. but any way I love my wall hanging I have never thought of doing fsl on a wall hanging but it came out awesome so I am going to do fsl letters and put my grandsons name on it to make it stand out more. When the Dr. says I can sew again hopeful soon craft fairs are starting up and I am not ready. Again I love it and Thank You
140716Stella (the Duchess) has been having some technical problems and she has asked me to post a picture for her. The gift did arrive a bit on the late side but she absolutely loves the two tealights.

28 Jan 2013
These turned out really nice. Your SS did a great job. Glad the mail for got to you. Hope you solve your technical problems soon.
14071611759Such lovely gifts. Congratulations to all that partcipated.
211078Thanks Sue. I assume you are in contact with those unaccounted for and missing pictures. Just wanted to be sure the one I sent was not among the missing in the mail. Hugs. Nan W
1175943 participants, 5 unaccounted for and waiting for three pictures. (Apologies, though if I've missed any pictures - I've tried to tick them off as they appeared.)
140716Hi all. Sue, can we have an account of how many participated this year , how many are missing in the mail and how many are just not posted? Inquiring minds want to know.... Thanks and hugs. Nan W
11759they say "Good things await those who wait!" :)
[still no news on mine either :(]
5648144011759Thank you SS for your beautiful gift. We all at home loved it. Even my postmaster waits for me to open packet to see gifts I receive from SS. I am disappointed because I could not send my gift to my SS. My machine is not working it gives a message"RAISE THE PRESSER FOOT AND NEEDLE BAR AND POWER ON". I cannot use the machine and the technician has to come from Bombay.
enclosed is the pictures I click.

Caroline, this is a lovely banner and I know you will use it year after year - way to go SS.

Good luck and I hope you package arrives very soon!!Here in the states we have a real issues with mail going to and coming from TX or at least certain parts. My postmaster has me put delivery cinfirmation and everything I send that way so they can trace where it gets hung up.

117591440Sue I finally ventured out and got new batteries for the camera and here is a photo of the wonderfull 6foot square fleece throw in powder blue that my Secret Santa sent me,
the way she/he personalised it was so nice. now everyone knows its MINE ALL MINE
I love it and its so nice and warm to snuggle into on a cold night
Thank you so much Secret Santa

13 Jan 2013
One more time posting to get this to the top. Still hoping more pics will show up. Hugs.
14995This is getting very frustrating now. Two weeks after Christmas and I know that about 3 gifts have definitely not arrived. However, I am having trouble contacting a few other people so the mystery remains.
by greysewist
09 Jan 2013
Had you been sent pics of those 3, Sue? I do hope that happened so there is some indication they were at least ready to be posted.
by mrskiki
09 Jan 2013
Is it possible for you to post those who arrived but have not put up pics yet? Those of us who sent ours out in plenty of time for Christmas are waiting patiently to see if they at least arrived. Hugs. Nan W
by greysewist
10 Jan 2013
I think it would be good to put up pics of those others you may have pics of now, Sue. That way at least the makers can see a little bit of feedback on the items they've made. The intended recipients don't need to be named, but maybe a country they went to if it doesn't make them too obvious. There may be good reasons for their lack of communication -we never know what's going on in the lives of others.
140716TTT We need to keep this thread near the top for those who are still missing in action!
11759I now have instructions for that bag everyone is interested in so I'll start a thread under "Sewing"
14071611759would the secret santa who created that wonderful bag for "inhislovinggrip" please pm me with the details of where i can purchase the pattern from ?
this is one bag i have fallen head over heels in love with and i wouold love to purchase it for my own use.
many thanks eggyannie (annie in the uk)
by raels011

to keep SS a secret maybe Sue could get details of bag and post for all to be able to buy pattern
by eggyannie

Apologies for not posting sooner, life has been very busy. Thank you very much to my SS who has created for me a beautiful cushion cover with sea side designs. My picture does not do her work justice as it is just superb and she has used ecru coloured linen for the background. Thanks you again to my French SS for your great work and to Sue for her excellent organisation on getting me to do some embroidery so I could take part

132773My SS made this table runner with tassels at either end , double sided so you can flip it over to reveal another design .The camera seems to have a problem getting the colours right ,even though I waited till it was a sunny morning taking the photo with the flash & lights on over the table .The actual colour is a light to mid grey not blue.Thank you SS it looks good on the table.

by greysewist
27 Dec 2012
What a beautiful table you have to display your gift on. If I received something like that, I'd need to clear a space :) That's a little different having a 2 sided tablerunner. I never seem to make mine in 10 minutes like the site suggests, either, LOL.
25212I want to thank my SS for my beautiful towel. I love the flower and butterfly buttons and you pick right color for my kitchen. Thank you again my SS.
by greysewist

Thank you.:)

23163Dear Secret Santa,
I wanted to say thankyou for the beautiful gift you sent me. I must have been on the "NICE" list to get something so lovely and practical. It will be just great for shopping and my mobile phone fits the little pocket perfectly. I especially like the colour and the undersea bubbles(beads), and the little fishes are cute.
Merry Christmas

5215Dear Secret Santa,
I am writing to say thankyou for my lovely present, you must obviously have thought I am nice, and not naughty after all, to send me something so beautiful. It took pride of place among all the lovely gifts from my family. Even my son in law thought it was great too, as you will see from my photos. I especialy liked the colours and the fact it is such a useful gift. merry christmas Ruth
5215It is finally Chirstmas here in Florida, USA - well, about 30 minutes ago. The turkery is on slow cook in the oven, and I have baked the pecan pie, made the chocolate hershey pie, done a few things for tomorrow when the family comes in, and am having some quiet time here just for me. I want to give a special thank you for what Sue has done and organized so well. And to also thank my SS for the lovely mug rugs. I think I know just where they will be used. I often sit at my computer that sits on my old roll top desk, and sit my drink on the pull out shelf - now I will not worry about messing up the finish. Thank you SS you did a great job, and something very useful for me. The angel will be put with my collection in my sewing room.

299557Thankyou SS so very much for this super cushion. Please know that I love it very much and it will be on display every Christmas plus.....Christmas in July. You have made me very happy.
What I haven't told my Cutie family is that for the last month my Mother has been gravely ill and I have tried to keep being cheerful but it has been very hard as those who have loved ones ill at this time would know. Mum opened the parcel for me and my, not so professional photographer, hubby took the photos. I have Mum at her home for a few hours from hospital for Christmas lunch. Thankyou again my SS and Love to all the SS and Sue and Merry Christmas Peace on Earth .

Looks a bit like the 2013 might be from San Francisco Stitch Co. Very nice gift. Great work, SS. Love the card as well -I think the teddy should be carrying the child :)

I'm sure Santa has been watching how good you have been, Sue. Not only in waiting, but all the hard work you've been doing to help all of the cuties enjoy the Secret Santa gift exchange.

That is such a stunningly beautiful piece of art and the background and framing suits it so well. Very representative of Aussie bush life. I'm sure you'll find a special place to display that one, Raels. Extremely good job, SS!

It looks like a pot holder on curved to fit under the bowls and dishes. This is a great idea. SS, I think you should have made one for all of us. Great job. And thank you to the person who put up the link for us.

What a great gift. I think you, via your SS is setting a trend here as I too am adding these to my to sew list
7161OK I gave in to temptation. But it was the weight of the box that really made me cave in. It is a lovely carving board, really too pretty to use as such so I think I will just let it sit on my counter for decoration for the time being. Thank you Secret Santa for such a marvelous gift.

5141well for me it was a good thing that I did open it as I will use it for the holidays as since this is my first time I didn't know that I should wait till the 25th. this was I can give it the attention that it sew deserves as on the 25th I will very busy as I am sure we all will be.well I have done it now! I have opened my Secret Santa Gift & I have to say I love it, it is reversable too! The card is just sew thoughtful in it she says:she lives in fruit country & this fabric represents that quite well & then she goes on to say "it has been a joy to make this gift for you" isn't that lovely! I am truly blessed & I want her to know that this is something I will be wearing on Sunday when we have one of our Christmas doo's & then again Christmas Day & then again...........well you get the idea! Thank you Sew very much! Hugs & Merry Merry Christmas to you & all! Loralye
