I love looking at all the packages. Then I realized, I took the picture of mine and never posted it! Lordy, getting old is not for sissies!

I loved my package. Take a look!

I received a package with some binding clips, thread, seam guides (never used these and am looking forward to them!) flower pins (long ones...love those!) buttons for tote bags, note pad and pen, cute pin (notice....Ignored the Quilt Police....I'm a rebel, so I chuckled at that), thread, fat quarters, and not pictured here was two lovely yardage of my fav colors. They showed up early with no name, so I couldn't thank you at that time, but do now!

Oh! Almost forgot. If you notice on the left, there's a really cute green elephant. I collect those and this was done with fair trade, so uber cool.

But! What is a Fly Lady's Rubba Scrubba? It's rubby little bumpies. Is that for thread schnibbles?

Anyway, thank you so much Mary Christine. You put together a very thoughtful package, and I am most appreciative

Hugs!
Chris

Annaquilts, I am so happy you enjoyed your package! And I had to chuckle when I saw what you used to have your clothes pins in. Mercy! LOL

Frustrated/Bullocks/Hav4: Super cute pin cushions. I'm on a trend with those right now. Unsure why. Maybe I have a little OCD. Who knows....but super super cute!

Thank you Verna. So sorry you have to go back in, but hopefully it will do the job this time. I hope so.

I sure hope it works I am so so tired of it. Really miss the group and miss being the host for it but hav4plenty as far as I can see your doing an awesome job.

It was for pleasure. I am a sewer and a shooter.

By my count, there are 4 left to receive and 2 of those have mailed. If you are one of the ones who have not mailed, please send me a PM letting me know when you are mailing or if you have.

Thanks!

I got mine early but saved opening it until today when a friend could ooh and ahh with me. Also, it was a reward for getting some things done I needed to get done. I received lots of fun fabric, some of it from Japan. There are two beautiful ombré fabrics on the right and I layed them out so you can see some of the color change. That cute pink bag in the corner is made with mesh so you can see inside and has that fun snap closure using a measuring tape and it is filled with delicious new tea to try. I received fabric that has a map design of many different cities in Europe with pictures of famous sights. Quite cute and nice to remover some of my precious travels. Also, I got a stack of four dotted FQ. Fun! Also received some adorable batiks and some Halloween fabric. You can see the lovely card and it was such a nice note. I liked that it said “free spirit” since many people see me that way. Also received some lovely scented eye masks and a rose scented steam cream from Japan. You can see the rose next the Halloween fabric. I also received the much beloved skinny pins, a tool for making biased tape (where was that when I needed it last week when making custom drawstrings for bags???) and a booklet and Japanese magazine for project inspiration.

Thank you so much Gaijin. It is like you looked into my head and knew I adore ombré fabric and all the other goodies. The steam cream is so soft and light. I look forward to trying the tea.

I am so glad you liked everything. Have you tried the white tea yet? I shared some with a friend tonight and she liked it quite a bit.
