In fact, I actually cut one for the potato chip bag), and candy cane ornaments for my tree (which is done in red and white theme, so they look right at home). I'm very excited about all of the things you sent,Kim, and they really helped brighten up a very gray and overcast day as well as inspire me to turn on the sewing machines once again. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated.

Yeah, Bonnie, the fat quarters complement each other so well that they HAVE to be kept together in a project. And they look fantastic in real life -- I'm gonna hate to cut them up. And did I say how good they feel? I think I suffer from a fabric fetish.

A pillowcase from the backing fabric -- why didn't I think of that. I always have some left over...even if there's enough to do only one side. I'm going to do that next time. Thanks for the idea.

Candi, thank you so very much for my December swap, I have been traveling all week for business and it was a really nice surprise to arrive home too. All of the goodies were so nice which will all be used and eaten...the box smelled wonderful from the soap and the fabric and ruler is perfect. Most of all I attached a seperate picture of the beautiful handmade card, you are very talented and the best card I have recieved this year. Thank you again and I wish you a very happy and healthy holiday.
