DarcyShannon, Gaijin gave me one of those little snap bags, too, and now I am Totally hooked on making those! I gave about a half a dozen to our guild to have for their little sale area of their booth for the quilt show. :) Good stuff!

I haven't tried it yet! It's been so hot an humid I'm going to save it for when I can sit down and really enjoy it. Sometimes I make iced tea in the summer but want to really savor this one! It is also my husbands favorite flavor so we will enjoy it together :)

What is a snap bag? My interest is peaked.

You use plastic covered mesh and sew it into a small bag with fabric on top leaving openings on both sides. You cut 1" metal measuring tape into lengths and insert it into the openings and then sew the edges closed. It opens when you press on the sides and snaps closed.

Anna, they sew together quickly, too! I can find tons of uses for these bags. So so blessed Gaijin shared with me!

Is there a tutorial online? It is the little pink bag in the corner in the picture?

Ladies,
I received an awesome package from : Vintina Collick aka Wbfrog
I was at the hospital with my daight. She had knee surgery on Monday. I received an "Over the river and thru the woods' embroidery quilt pattern, an Apple hot pad, some teal batiks, some sweet smelling Goat milk soap and a curt gardening card. THANK you so much. I am now sitting back in the hospital on the Neuro floor as our daughter is having to have emergency Shunt surgery. Thanks for the great package.

LAMINGTON M&M's???? OH, I WANT to try those. I tried Lamingtons when I was there,. I came home with a severe tim tam addiction.

Texastam 08-27-2018 04:12 AM

Quiltdragon-I tried the m&ms last night....they are addicting. Delicious!!!

I received my parcel this morning from quiltingdragon. I will take a photo this weekend, but boy did she do great. First of all was an amazing book, not only in my genre of Historical Fiction, but also about dressmaking, I can't wait to get a start. There was a wonderful magazine, I had a quick flick and have already seen a Halloween wall hanging I want to make. There were some navy blue fabrics and a William Morris charm pack. Some very handy cotton reel/bobbin holders, some post it notes and a couple of patterns. An absolutely wonderful package. Thank you so much!

So I wondered what they were and looked for them. Well better enjoy because 160 grams is about $48 for me to get my hands on for a taste. Wow! https://www.amazon.com/M-ms-Lamingto.../dp/B079WVP55X
