Verna is there a selvage on the bird panel? I love that fabric!
I received an amazing box today from Nancy in Louisiana. She really loaded it up with all kinds of goodies!

There is a really neat kit to make a bag, and it's PINK! Not to mention cool books, a PINK quilt pattern, and PINK note cards. Guess what color I like???

She also made some really thick hot pads, and they actually match my kitchen curtains. The peace symbol is a container with a pincushion on top, the little yellow guy is a planter and it came with grass seeds. It is up in the window already. And PINK flamingo fabric!!! That will have to go into a very special project.
We both have pet turtles, although hers is much bigger than mine. When DS got the turtle he was a major Star Wars fan so the turtle was named Jabba the Turtle.
Thanks again for a wonderful package Nancy!

Okay, Sp even though you know who I am, I am still playing along. 
Watch this weekend for a parcel to be "swimming" your way and one to "fly in from the Great Wall" near the end of the month. YOur main package will mail on the 15th and is bursting at the seams. Hope you enjoy everything as much as I am preparing and making everything.

Now just have to cut the excess off the back, first have to re-sew it. did it at 4.0 width to see how well it matched up, now need to go back and make the stitch smaller.

This is what I got in my package today from Reeskylr. I got 4 1/2 yards of beautiful blues, purple, and red fabric. 4 FQ's in blue and purple. A large bag of scraps. A skein of coral yarn. I like to crochet so that will come in handy. A pattern to store all those grocery bags that I have. A package of microwave buttered popcorn. A book that I can't wait to start reading. It's from an author I haven't read before Darynda Jones, but I think that I will be reading all of her books. And lastly a jar of the mini beef treats that my puppy happens to love. It's the same ones that I use to teach him tricks with.
Thanks again for a great package Reeskylr.

I finally got my March package!
I waited almost a month, but it was really worth it! I actually enjoyed the anticipation! Dya (fabric lover) from the Netherlands sent an amazing amount of stuff in a relatively small package. The many things just kind of folded themselves out! She sent beautiful fabrics, two books, Dutch-style coasters and tea bag caddies, ribbons, lace, intersesting tea (that I have never tried!), and lovely buttons for my bow-tuck bags.
Thank you so much!
