The two packages I sent are out for delivery, so two people will be off the bench by the end of the day. I broke cover and PMed my two people, since I accidentally left out the notes I had written. Ah well, chaulk it up to old age!

Well, I've no idea where that owl has flown to! My first package arrived in Texas a week ago, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of the second one

On a happier note, the postman left a 'Sorry we missed you' card, so I'm hoping it's one of my parcels

I hope the post person brings my package today. I am anxious to see what I might find in it. My granddog is part beagle I might have to send him out to sniff out where the package is. lol

Yay! I am one of them. The Bat sent me the sweetest PM and it is a delight to get to know her a little bit. Looking forward to the arrival of the postman today!

I received the most thoughtful package today from Belfrybat. She put so much thought into every single piece. And as I look at each piece, I am realizing the extent of that thoughtfulness. What a kind person she is.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]414665[/ATTACH]
She sent me a tiny packet of clothing labels and my favorite is the sunflower one with the size "FREE"! I want to be size FREE, don't you?
[ATTACH=CONFIG]414664[/ATTACH]

She went out of her way to hunt for white on white fabric which I asked for because I've been using too much black in my quilts and really have the need to lighten things up. They are perfect.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]414666[/ATTACH]

She also sent some extremely powerful Italian Roast coffee and chocolate. What more could a woman want or need to get her going in the morning? If my husband gets home from his meeting early enough there might be a bite left to share with him.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]414667[/ATTACH]
AND ... a Dresden Quilt template and tool. I picked one up for Ladybug some months ago and got one for myself, too. Never got to use it. Now I have a new one that I will treasure. And use!

AND a Kaleidoscope template looks like fun -- and features a pattern from Robert Kaufman fabrics - one of my favorite fabric designers.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]414670[/ATTACH]
AND ... a Jacob's Ladder pattern.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]414671[/ATTACH]
And I almost forgot ... three beautiful batiks that will be used in my seascapes
[ATTACH=CONFIG]414669[/ATTACH]

AND ... two magazines that I intend to settle down to peruse with a cup of coffee and some chocolate -- and one of them has a feature on Kaffee Fasset - my all time favorite quilt designer. How thoughtful was that?
[ATTACH=CONFIG]414668[/ATTACH]

Thank you so very much. I think the best part was getting to know Ms Bat a little and looking forward to a new friendship on this board -- which is, after all, the best part of it!
