Brenda21 has joined my long list of wonderful SP swap partners! She sent an amazingly thoughtful package which was the highlight of my day when I got home from work tonight. I read earlier that she really knew how to stuff a mailing envelope and boy was that an understatement. She read my profile and responded perfectly - I am looking forward to using everything.
I just kept pulling things out - thought I was going to get carpal tunnel!!! 5 uniquely and exquisitely patterned cream on cream FQ's, Fray Check (yippee because I about used mine all up on my patriotic block for Krystyna's project), a sassy tote pattern which I love making, 2 magazines both of which have patterns I like mucho and also, useful instructions for a quilter like me who has limited experience.
I have to specifically mention the 1995 American Quilter Magazine - I love, love, love the collage applique photos - and my creative juices are starting to flow. Beautiful art and landscaping quilts in there. What a yummie publication!!!
But wait, I'm not done.... There is a package of lovely, antique buttons (sorry all you button lovers, I just cannot bring myself to share them other than in photographs). A strip of white lace, a package of strawberry-apricot tea, a too cute barefoot file, a lovely note, and last but not least, her beautiful signature scissor fob with a tiny scissor charm and holding a great pair of sharp and pointed scissors.
I am so grateful, Brenda - many hugs of thanks. Pictures to follow as soon as I adjust pixels.
