Here's how it works:

1) Sign Up - filling out the information on the board (to help your secret swapper) and e-mailing Gail your name and address. (Please put STOCKING Secret Santa in the title of your e-mail to help her stay organized.)

2) Find a great pattern for a stocking and get going on making a stocking. Please make it at least 12" long. (A few free pattern links are at the bottom of this page, but feel free to find your own pattern.) If you are uncomfortable making a stocking for your Secret Santa you may buy one to put the gifts in.

3) Look at the likes and dislikes of the member who's name you were e-mailed on November 2nd (If you haven't received your Secret Santa Pal address by then, let Gail know.) 

4) Gather a few items (including at least one quilty item, made or bought) to stuff your stocking.

(Please don't spend more than $15.00 on stocking stuffers.)

5) Package up your stuffed stocking (and a personal message, if you choose) and mail to the member from your e-mail. (We strongly recommend you get delivery confirmation!)

6] A Date will be announced for the evening all Secret Santa's will get online in Chat Room and open gifts together.

8) Wait by your mailbox for a wonderful stocking to come from your Secret Santa!

To keep this SS Pal fun for everyone, please follow the guidelines below:

• Make a stocking that you would be proud to hang in your own house this Christmas - good quality fabric and good workmanship. Make it big enough to put goodies in. (12" deep)
• Pay attention to likes and dislikes of your Pal, but try to spend no more than $15.00 on items you stuff in your stocking.
• Mail it out by no later than December 7th. (Make sure you update the board when you mail, but don't say to whom you are mailing.
• When you receive your package put under your Tree until the Date selected comes and we open together.... 
• If something comes up and you have to drop out , you MUST do it before November 1st, or ask for a group member to replace you.  We don't want to leave someone without a Secret Santa and have coal to open !! 

If you have any questions, please e-mail Gail (Krafts1)
