Patches, most special pkg ever. first a beautiful scissor holder! it's all purple, and lacy and has little pearls on it. the needlease is a beautiful round case, with John James needles and a cut double yoyo, with a rhinestone kitty paw!! Th pin cushion is 3 round layers. all tied up ( I've made these and they are a pain in the dupa, if you know Polish)so it's stacked three high and all doily lacy, with buttons and yoyos and lace and pretty. I must say such attention to detail was definitely placed here. wonderful workmanship, ribbon worthy work! oh yes. ribbon too! The pincushion has three layers of different pretty matching fabrics. the littlest one is barely 2" wide! and there are pretty little pearls on the lace doily at the top and on the lace doily on the bottom. I hope you can post a picture of it. On the needlecase, another lacy doily, they all look antique, by the way, there is a double yo yo on the needlecase, with beads and another charm that says friends. all pearly and purple too. DId I mention that the needlecase has a doily too tacked down with pearls. all so pretty and so lovely! so much of what I love. thank you.
also in the pkg, was some chocolates. a great seam ripper. a bit on, hopefully I wont loose this one, it's awesome, I've seen some that you all have here and thisis the nice big one. a ball of cotton yarn, the kind I use for crocheted washcloths. you know what im doing with that. alt of trims. the beige one you use for ric rac on the fruit pie potholders. oh and two lights for Christmas.OMG almost forgot, it's right here in fromt of me.. the most beautiful antique hankie. It too has purple trim, the tiniest stitching of little gowers, and purple trim appliques. I do a lot of applique, but would never attempt to do this. it's exquisite!!!! and in each corner. this person must have been an expert stitcher. tiny French knots, and little flowers using the bullion stitch smaller than the size of a peppercorn. unbelievable workmanship here. again ribbon worthy.

I can't say thank you enough. I can't describe the work well enough for what I received. just such lovely gifts. thanks again for thinking of me so much that you packed this box for me. thank you again.
