Pretty Christmas fabrics. Great job on the pin cushions and needlebook. I have a stiletto similar to this one,someone on the board made it for me .I use it a lot.Very nice swap.Thought I would post a picture of the purse and tissue holder I made for a friend that recently retired from our little post office. It's so small only one person works there.(in the office).It's a bow tucks pattern. Everyone have a good day.
Lynnie I checked the newletter for today and didn't see a posting for your stockings.

Mary what a thoughtful gift for your po lady. she'll love it. I do!
Jamimclaugh, very nice needlecase, ornament and stiletto. never got a stiletto yet.
Nice wrist pincushion too. My grandma had one of those.
Was it mentioned yet, Januarys theme??? Or did my brains drip out of my ears like sand through an hour glass......

Jami/Belfrybat what a great package you made and received. Mary I just love the Bow Tucks. That's the only purse I make. I had one more package to mail out today and knew if I went to the PO in my city it would be packed (I swear they turn off the heat on purpose) so I went to a little town one that has only one girl working the front and there was no line at all. What cool fabric for the purse. I bet she loved it. Lynnie I saw your beautiful stockings and they will be glad to get them. Mary look under Pictures of Quilts.

thanks everyone for the nice comments on the stockings.
My husband dropped themoff at the clubhouse here at the condo.
a woman asked if she could place an order ifthey were get this $10-15.
the lace alone and the lining and trim is more than that. what, is she crazy.
people like that don't appreciate what goes into it. I ty to tell people if they
want to make it, i'll give them a list of what they need, they can shop for it.
they always say no at that point. When I tell them fabric is $12.99/yd. their
smile turns sour, never fails.Let's not forget my travel, gas, and electricity.
a friend wants me to make her a small tablecloth with some nice fringe trim, "is $10 enough" not even
for the trim!

Someones pc and nc are going to be delivered today. Tracking said it arrived at your post office and will be out for delivery.
The postal purse is very nice. Our post office is going to be open only 4 hrs a day after the first of the year. Our postmistress is being relocated and that would be a wonderful gift for her. I'll have to go online and look for fabric.
