Yes.....I think color catchers are always a great gift to send to Canada since thy are so hard to find up here. Those patterns are so cute. I don`t often make small quilts so it will probably end up being a bigger quilt. So funny I really want to make the falling leaf quilt and this pattern reminds me of escher tessellations which I love . I guess you read my mind...lol I love surprises!!! I have already bought a few items for next years exchange. So again thank you my dear!!! Have a very merry Christmas !!!!!

One of my LQS owners works up a lot of the patterns to display, and although she hasn't done the Fallen Leaves one yet, those "Little Bits" patterns are really pretty when done -- such a nice size to tuck on a small wall or even on a table top. I had to research your posts and found that you like to paper piece and with Canada's maple leaf -- well, this one seemed perfect for you.
One funny thing... I had Color Catchers on a list of good things to include... then found a post where you said you couldn't find them but later posted you did. So scratched them off my list. At the last minute, literally a couple days before I mailed your box, you posted here that you couldn't find them and needed them. Last minute change of plans! So glad I read your post before the box was on its way to you!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!

Terri, so glad you enjoyed your snowballs, you are very deserving haven sponsored Secret Santa. This was my first but will definitely not be my last, so much fun and the anticipation was a killer but well worth it. Grann of 6 took very good care of me, she is a wonderful Santa. So I will be collecting bits and goodies all year for the next year's exchange, actually I am going to make a special trip back to the antique mall, I just bought 4 small cards of vintage buttons, they were most likely from the 40s maybe? They were $3.50 a card and there were only 3 buttons on a card but they were too cute to pass up and would make anyone smile - little blue rocking horses, little yellow airplanes, pink roller skates, yup, going back for more! Merry Christmas everyone!

LOUISE HOUGHTALING, You need to 1st put those pics in a file where u can retrieve them. I will try my best to help u understand how to post pics. On top of the text box (when you start to write a post on the thread) u will see a little picture (icon) of a window with a little tree inside it, mouse over that and it will say "insert image" then click on that and it will give you the option to browse. Click BROWSE and go find your picture wherever u store them and click on the pic you want to upload. Then click UPLOAD FILES and you will see it when it uploads. If it doesn't upload, then u have to resize the pic and try again. Keep resizing the pic until it uploads. If u don't know how to resize or u don't have a program that will resize, here is a very simple 1 on the web that's really EZ! If u use it u have to save a new copy to your pc before trying to upload it again. Here is the website: http://resizeyourimage.com/ Try this and try again to post. I hope this helps because I don't know how else to explain it.

I got home about 3:00 A.M. and just fell into bed exhausted. Jumped up at 5:30 opened my santa box. I hope you felt the earth move Pat because I was jumping up and down so much from my wonderful gifts. I got a beautiful Christmas Purse that Pat handmade. I filled it up and ran out the door for work and have already gotten two compliments on my beautiful new purse. I'm in love with it. I think Pat knew me better than anyone else because she also included some coal candy. I have been a little ornery this year. I will include a better inventory of all my gifts when I get home from work and the hospital. A thousand thanks to Pat.
Hope you get home from the hospital ASAP
My little brother is paralyzed on his right side but I am ever hopeful that he will make a positive recovery.
