I didn't check the board yesterday, so I'm a little behind. But, in the meantime, yesterday I received TWO very special swap packages!
The first one is from terriamn -- a beautifully embroidered (& quilted) Autumn mug rug with maple leaves. Plus fabric, the same as used in the mug rug (which gives me ideas on making something to match the mug rug), a matching hand towel, an adorable fabric post card, selvedges (love those things!), orange spice tea & two pink lemonades. Also a beautiful card. Did I miss anything? Thank you, Terri, for the wonderful package! You really put thought into what you sent me, & I very much appreciate that!

And the other package I received yesterday was from nhnative. Pat & I had our own little side swap, & we didn't actually have a theme. It just so happened we managed to mail to each other this month.
Pat sent me very thoughtful gifts, too. A cardinal (my favorite bird) p/c & a cow (I think everybody knows by now how I am about cows) n/b. When I opened the package late last night, I wasn't sure what the cow was, but this morning (when I was awake), I thought perhaps it was a n/b -- & it is! Pat's stitching is impeccable! Oh, & my Irish cottage mug rug! I also got one of her famous doilies, a bag of Werther's, postcards (which I also collect), a moo cow creamer, a tiny tea set, & Pat even made fabric tea bags & put green tea inside them! Thanks so much, Pat, for a very wonderful swap package!

Thanks again, Pat -- this swap was fun!

nhnative from ctyankee- I recognize that shell fabric An what an adorable Raggedy Annie you received. I was lucky to receive one of ctyankee's thread catchers this summer and totally love it!
roseirish -Blush, I have so done the very same thing me'self-asking for an address and forgetting to leave my own :/
sewbizgirl - What a nice package you received from Regm. I can smell the pie (and I'm smelling wild blueberries).
Robinlee -Such a great sneak peek. I'm intrigued.
rwquilts - You'll be back on the band wagon in no time. Don't fret, my quilty friend.
jazs2 from omee5 - Your little pumkin mug rug is cute. I actually thought about doing that one until my partners declared 'autumn'. And so many extras...
ctyankee- your packages were over the top (in a good way terriamn was so thoughtful about all those leaves you won't have to rake. Love the fabric card and crazy patch ?whatever?
And your package from nhnative - I made that very same pansy doilie myself! And that adorable cottage mug rug is right out of a children's book. It is so very sweet.
Great mug rugs, once again.
Best,
deb in Maine

Whigrose -- that crazy patch is a fabric postcard!
We have a lot of mug rugs flying around the country, according to my Messages! Can't wait to see more!
