I got home today to find a package all the way from California sitting by my garage door. I was really excited, yet a little sad too because the waiting is just so much fun, but more excited than sad! haha! I brought it in and didn't open it right away, just teasing myself!! Finally gave in and was pleased to find that my pal had sen me a St Patricks Day mug on a green and pink mug rug, machine quilted with a little clover stitch (clever!!),a little St PAtrick's Day plague (I'm thinking it would be cute in a wreath for next year), a journal (will use to jot down ideas for crafting), a cute little box of tissues which will end up living next to my computer, a date book (had one... misplaced it!), 8 strip pieced blocks which I will find a project for, a package of craft buttons (can NEVER have too many!), 2 generous cuts of flannel... pink with butterflies and yellow check, 2 generous cuts of cotton floral, yellow and off white, and three fat quarters in the colors that I am collecting... teal and pink...and for those of you that always say it is so hard to stay in that $10 limit... my pal had a great idea for some freebies!!... applique patterns that she downloaded from the computer!! I never would have found these, 3 of them! The top one, in the picture, is for an owl pillow... says to make it from wool, but I will probably improvise. REALLY great idea!!
So a BIG thank you to April, our "Barefoot Quilter" for packing me a very thoughtful package that made my day! Oh, did I forget to mention York Peppermint patties?!! THREE of them... and now there are TWO!! haha!! Thank so much April, you were a great March pal!
**Ut oh!! There is also a chocolate bunny that somehow didn't make the photo! I didn't eat it already, honest!! I just didn't get it into the photo... but I will admit that I am NOT going to wait until Easter to eat it!! ; )
