    Just a warning to all who use the flat rate postage-paid light cardboard envelopes from the post office -- I received two in the mail today. It was raining all day long. They did not get wet, but the dampness turned them into mush. I was fortunate that the contents were all there because there were huge holes where the cardboard just split apart. These pouches only contained fabric - nothing hard or pokey. Imagine if they had gotten wet. From now on I am going to use lots of tape.

    Nancy, I put my stuff inside zip-lock bags and then into the boxes. That way they are protected no matter what.

    Here's the quilt that I made for Tanadas.
    We both waited until today to open them. :-)

    Sorry Becky I meant to get this done earlier. Here is the quilt that I got from BeckyW. Isn't it cute??? I did embroidery on hers and she did embroidery and crossstitch on mine! We never talked about it! Isn't that something? I really love it and I love the rabbit! I collect this type of Easter decorations and it will fit perfectly in my Easter stuff this year!

    Hi pvquilter, I just received my quilt in yesterdays mail. Started to post a photo, but see that you already have. (pg 35)

    Brown is one of my favorite colors! And I like the "crazy patch" look the quilt has. One that I admire but have not made. Thank you. Ellen

    Check with your PO before taping these...my PO will only allow a little tape on the corners where the "zip opening" is... I was told that people were trying to stuff too much into them, so they are only allowing the adhesive that is on the envelope itself now :roll:
