I received a wonderful package of FQs from Retired Fire Chief aka Linda today. They are a lovely assortment. I will take a pic tomorrow evening. Thanks Linda for these delights! :)

And my 2 packages went out to my partners today. One going West approx. 2000 miles and one going East approx 400 miles and the estimated delivery for both of them is Sat. I would have thought the closer one would have had at least one day earlier. Well we shall see.

Elisabrat 04-10-2013 08:03 PM

oh starshine I cant wait to see them! and your welcome for your fabrics. I love the water colors a whole lot. I cant seem to get your fabrics received from Tlambing. the pic shows a sliver :( I tried opening it three times and all times it wont open :( shoot.

I went to the post office! I looked inside my box. HELLOOOOOO and it said.. nothing. it was empty. sigh. I walked all the way to the truck (six feet from my box) and well hung my head, shoulders bent forward.. so sad. maybe tomorrow? ok my head was bent down cause I have to watch my feet or I will fall in two seconds flat. and the shoulders? I have had bad posture for years .. the story sounded good though.. so sad and touching :) yup thats me!

brenda21 04-10-2013 08:22 PM

Very pretty! my mailbox was still empty of fq's.. I did get some pretty batiks that I purchased accidentally (must have been an accident right?) but no fq's.. I will just dream and drool over yours instead. I love all the colors..

Andrea19711 04-11-2013 06:45 PM

My packages went out in the mail today...both to places that have a 9, a 4, and a 6 in the zip code. ..

I received both my packages yesterday .... drooling and more drooling. I look forward to stitching with them, but first got to finger them over and over ... just love the feel of batiks!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]407490[/ATTACH]
This package came from ljdugas31. She sent such fabulous batiks and they feel so good.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]407491[/ATTACH]
This package was sent by tlambing. I couldn't leave them wrapped up in the ribbon but I did save the ribbon and butterfly for a future project. They're so pretty .... excuse my drooling.

Thanks! to both of you ... ljdugas31 and tlambing!

OOPS! forgot to reset the size .... sorry.

Grandma Peg 04-11-2013 07:51 PM

Pretty fabrics that members are receiving. Andrea one package must be mine as I have 2 4's in my zip!
Waiting almost patiently.
