Mailed a box today - going to a coastal state. Hope you enjoy everything. Didn't realize how difficult finding some candies could be - went to all these different stores looking for _________ and finally found it, but felt like I was on a scavenger hunt!! Glad I found some and was able to put it in before I sealed it up. Enjoy.

Michelle (MDMPanther), I am so happy that you liked everything
that I had sent to you.

ENJOY it all.

Now as for that clue that I posted where y'all was trying to guess
what it was supposed to mean.

I was supposed to give my sp a clue that she liked jewel tone colors.


Have a great weekend everyone, we are supposed to be gettiing
8-14 inches of snow.... YUCK.

Although the last 2 days I was wearing short sleeve shirts and a
sweatshirt style jacket. Wasn't cold and was really nice weather.
I am sooooo ready for spring to get here.

Here is my wonderful, ever-so-thoughtful package from Pbadder- aka Pat. And let me just say, she's not at all badder. Her name should be Gooder! :)

She was so kind to send me Linda Hahn's New York Beauty Diversified which I'm thrilled to have. In my effort to become a more disciplined quilter, I took a class with her and was so happy to learn the New York Beauty technique she taught. But ... well, you can guess what happened to it all. Gone. But -- happy dance! I can't wait to jump into this book! Thank you so much. And there was a book on Weekend Star Quilts (weekend? really? we'll see!) a patchwork purse kit which I can't wait to make, the most scrumptious pear pin cushion (how did you do this? It's amazing!), a bobbin box which I really really need, the most beautiful yardage of some batiks and pretty, pretty,pretty FQ's, and last, but certainly not least ... the most cheerful little wall hanging. I'm going to have to recruit Pat into the doll quilt swap! I love it all. It really made an otherwise horrid day so happy. Thank you!

I was having such a horrid two days that it was very necessary to get manic, but please feel free to join me! And the horrid part had nothing to do with the loss of the house. Entirely about the "wedding" ... :hunf: and :thumbdown:

This is my Quilting wall, I purchased the letters at JoAnn's then painted them. Then just added little things to it. Also whenever someone sends me something little I add that.

I don't remember who sent me the little quilting saying, or the angel scissors. Reeskylr just sent me the little wood iron and scissors with teddy bears on them. These are just too darn cute

Grandma Peg 03-09-2013 12:47 PM

Verna, like your sign in your quilt room.
Some great packages being received.
Going shopping tomorrow to finish my package.

Ladybug 1938 03-09-2013 02:49 PM

My package was out for delivery today..... SP did you get it???

TammyB 03-09-2013 03:03 PM

Oh so many clues; not sure if they pertain to me. I'm not home until tomorrow; can't wait to check the mail box.

TammyB 03-09-2013 03:06 PM

Another clue for my SP. One of your items makes wonderful sounds. You've been quilting for about 25 years.

I'm gathering a couple more items and then into the mail it will go.
