Help-Ma-Boab, I'm Stunned Speechless......
.....speechless, amazed, awed, that good old Scottish word 'gob-smacked', and humbled by the generosity of quilters to other quilters.
I want to send out my most sincere thank you to board member Sandra P, and some of her friends, who have been so kind as to send me the most amazing gift.
I met Sandra recently when she holidayed in Scotland, and we spent a lovely evening nattering (along with our patient husbands) about all things quilting and more. When she returned to NM, she and some of her guild friends prepared the above-mentioned gift. As you can see from the photo, there is a mountain of fabric, FQ bundles, charms, a jelly roll, a pre-cut runner, as well as a selection of notions and, joy of joys, a glue pen!!!! (Them pesky hexes lol.)
No amount of 'thank you's can convey my gratitude and appreciation of this gift.....

I've already thought of several things to do with this bounty :-) and will think of those guys whenever I use some of this stash.....

Have lots of fun. We want to see what you end up making from this new stash. I have always wanted to visit my Grandmother's homeland. I didn't find out until I was in my 40s that she came to America via Canada from Scotland as an illegal immigrant. No wonder I love everything Scottish even my two Westies. When you figure out how to put the refill in the F&P glue pen, PLEASE PM me.

How exciting for you, how generous your new friend!! '
I've recently found, through Ancestry.com DNA that I am heavily Scottish with a surprising part of Scandinavian (must be from those Viking explorers of Great Britain!) -- just think, you might be my distant cousin!!

oh wow, aren't gifts like that just the best? Me and a friend met through a mutual interest on the internet (soap making!) and she has become the sister of my heart. We've had to pleasure to meet in real life and have also sent each other spontaneous gifts and I treasure those. Every time I touch or see them it always brings me back to our meetings.
