May Secret Pal Swap - Closes April 30 at midnight
#13
My package went traveling East. Since I live on the west coast it has a long ways to go. How is everyone's spring coming along? Are you able to quilt more or less in the spring? Since we are on the west coast all the way down south we try to do off season camping. For now we are home so I am working on quilting quilts and prepping smaller quilts for doing applique or simple piecing when we are on the road.

Thank you michelle-quilts!
Received a lovely package from Michelle! A table runner kit, a bundle of bright rainbow fabrics, patriotic fabrics, a book I will take on my next trip, a set of threads, Kona cotton "snow" colored fabric, which is really perfect, and the cutest darn zippered case made with doggie fabrics. Love, love, love it all!
Thanks again,
Deborah aka Gaijin
P.S. What shocked me when I received her box was the fact that Michelle's handwriting is almost identical to mine. When I found her package on our doorstep, even my husband thought I had addressed it!

What fun package Deborah. I really like your little quilt kit and humbug bag. Years ago I made humbug bags for all my children, 12 at that time, and my friends. Most of my now adult children still use the bag as do my friends. You might find you really like it as it opens a different way. Have a wonderful day.

Those little humbug bags are fun to make! In fact, when I am in the mood to sew but not quite in the mood to work on a quilt, I enjoy making bags or baskets of various types. And when I make them, I usually assembly line make them and then keep them around for such occasions when I need a little gift...

My secret pal package arrived. picture
I got a fun surprise package in the mail today from Caroline. It contained yummy wool charm squares, darker fabrics, Aurifil thread, a small board block board, her favorite style seam ripper, 2 balls of pearl cotton, clips and a lavender sachet. A sweet note telling me about her life currently with it. Thank you Caroline for sending me all these gifts. That is very kind and generous of you.
