stitchers angel etiquette

hi Angels, a lot of you are concerned you haven't heard from your angels. Although I strongly suggested you all make contact it isn't a ‘rule’ of the swap – but does create a nice relationship and makes for happier angels and new friends…

So there are many reasons you may not have heard from your angel yet some being:

• they are away for a few days
• they are unable to work out the ‘secret email’ business and don't want to risk giving themselves away.
• life has gotten in the way for a few days

or – that they haven't received their swap details and have disappeared. – obviously we don't want it to be this one.

BUT, there is not much I can do until after 30th October if your goodies do not arrive as per the ‘rules’. Then we will chase with vengeance…

However, Angels, it is nice to know that everything is going well and you are all on board so I do again urge you to make contact in some way, some options are:

• leave a comment on her blog
• setup that gmail or hotmail address and email her
• get a friend to email her just to let her know you are here…
• send a quick note or letter

Happy angels are a wonderful thing…

hugs to you all as I picture you stitching away on your first project

hugs

Helen

Never mind, you are not alone, you can still work up a friendship without
her knowing too much about you. All she knows is your name, not where you
are from or your blog address, hey it could even be a false name for all she
knows,

I also found out (too late) that my name appears in the email to my partner using gmail. Oh well, hope it doesn't spoil things too much, I guess it doesn't show where I am from! Have heard from both angels and love the first project. Looking forward to tomorrow and new project. :o)

Dear Helen,
What a surprise I have just received to find out that I have a swap partner as I never received a confirmation email I thought that I was not accepted or the computer at the internet cafe wouldnt let me send to you. Thank you very much for allowing me to participate. I enjoyed last years swap and know ill enjoy this years. (My partner last year was my mother)
May the fairies bless you and happy stitching, Angie

Hi Ter, it is called Waffle knit I think, I got it years ago but it is
available still, used for bath robes, towels, bathroom accessories quite
often and yes its lovely.

just a quick note on the type of material that you used on the bottom of the bag seems we can not locate... but not to worry we have a good sub... but still wondering what its called
thank you

Hi Helen
It took me a while to work out how to do the email thing as this is all new to me, and the kids usually always help, but no I did it myself and sent the email, and then a friend, another angel told me about how you send to self and see what name appears, did this to my horror my name appear, too late have sent email, or have I, checked tonight and it appears that my email is still in my Drafts waiting for me to send, hence why I had not heard back, but have now sent and surprise surprise, have already heard back. LOL
Hope this helps the other angels don't give up, where there is a will there is a way and a big thankyou to you Helen for all your tireless work. Thank You. Hugs Deb
