Terri (in Guam :D ) has sent me over the most beautiful fabrics to build up my depleted stash, cotton threads, magazines and some delicious biscuits...her timing couldn't have been better as I have had the week from hell, and this has cheered me up no end, I have been straightening and ironing and sorting and petting all afternoon :D

Oh and there were three of those biscuits, John and I shared one with our afternoon cup of tea....don't think they will be in the cupboard for much longer :lol: :lol: :lol:

Terri, I can't thank you enough...you are the most generous person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing...you are one very special lady :D :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Just look at all that stuffed in a small box..an amazing feat!!

Those are absolutely beautiful!! I especially love the green with purple flowers. I just might try and find some since I can read the name on the selvedge. :D

Izy 02-24-2009 08:43 AM

I have to agree with you Pam, it is stunning fabric, I used the special setting on my camera for flowers as it gives you a true impression of the colours.....beautiful aren't they, the three together are from the same range :D :D :D

Deara 02-24-2009 08:57 AM

Oh Izy what a wonderful blessing to have a special friend like Terri.

There are angels out there looking out for us and Terri has delivered a special 'I Love You' from one of your angels.

Terri you are a special person.
May the Lord Bless you back tenfold for your love and kindness.

Izy 02-24-2009 08:59 AM

Deara, Terri even sent over a panel with two guardian angels on it...well I think terri is mine, so I will make this into a little pillow and put it on my bed :D

Quilt4u 02-24-2009 09:24 AM

What a sweetheart Terri is. Those fabrics are gorgeous. You should have a lot of fun playing with them and designing quilts with them.

Izy 02-24-2009 11:01 AM

Awwhh cheers everyone, I will be planning something very soon :D

SulaBug 02-24-2009 11:08 AM

Izy.....what a wonderful gift of LOVE, that you have received from Terri. She certainly is a special person & I do believe that you are just as special.
We will all be waiting to see the wonderful things, that you come up with, while using these gorgeous fabrics. Thanks ever so much for sharing.
Happy Sewing,
Cheryl

Izy 02-24-2009 11:22 AM

Cheryl...that is such a sweet thing to say...have no doubts I will be putting all these fabrics to good use. There is such little fabrics here in Spain, it really makes you appreciate gifts like this so much more :D

Shemjo 02-24-2009 11:29 AM

Absolutely yummy fabrics, and biscuits! :lol: What a wonderful gift! How truly blessed you are after that awful mess! Got to get busy on something for yourself now after all the cleaning! :lol:

PurplePassion 02-24-2009 11:39 AM

oh how lucky you are Izy, that fabric with the purple roses and daisys is delicious. If I had that I would never cut it up. bet the bisquits were tasty too. Elaine

Izy 02-24-2009 11:41 AM

I know what you mean Elaine...It's soo pretty isn't it, I will have to find a very special pattern to showcase that I think :D

Darlene 02-24-2009 12:19 PM

Jim's Gem 02-24-2009 12:26 PM

That's the fabric I used in a quilt I made last year but just spray-basted it together last night. I love it, it's so pretty ( the one with the Purple roses in it)

Izy 02-24-2009 12:27 PM

Izy 02-24-2009 01:57 PM

Well I believe there are many special people on this board...and long may we all continue to share our love of quilting and life in general...you have all been so supportive to me these last few weeks which has helped me enormously, especially the last few days, so I thank my lucky stars the day I joined here :D :D :D

Even if it isn't quilted yet? I havn't decided how I want to quilt it, though I think it is calling for an all-over rose deisgn, of course I think that is above my skills...... I will try and post a picture when I get home, though it may be Wed eve before I can, Tuesdays are pretty busy for me. I am at work at the moment.

Izy 02-24-2009 02:00 PM

I love to see progress pictures, and I am sure you can find a simple flower continual quilting design.... :roll: (says she lol!!) Can't wait to see it :D :D :D

barnbum 02-24-2009 02:40 PM

Terri--Guam must be very proud you have you living there. :wink:
In a world so filled with problems... this place is a breath of fresh air. :D

littlehud 02-24-2009 02:50 PM

Terri you are one in a million. What a great friend you are.

Chele 02-24-2009 03:08 PM

Terri comes through again with flying colors. We should saint her! Izy, I'm so glad this cheered you. Sending you well wishes.

sewjoyce 02-24-2009 03:15 PM

Pam, I'm not sure that is still out. I bought that fabric, probably 3 years ago. I had yards and yards of it. Used it to make a couple quilts. Have looked for more because it also came in red and blue, but haven't found it. Good luck finding!!

tlrnhi 02-24-2009 04:52 PM

Aww...shucks, everyone!
Ya'll are making me tear up!
It's really nothing. Just stuff I had laying around, taking up space that I figured I'd share. I know that both Izy and Elle have very limited resources for fabric, so sending and sharing with them is not a huge deal.
Ok, some of the fabric I did buy and tucked in there, but it was fabric I bought for a quilt I was making. I just bought extra and shared.
But, that sure was alot I stuffed in there, huh? I didn't realize ALL that I put in there!!

I'm just glad that it will be well used. I can't wait to see what is created with it all. I know it will be awesome!

Izy...I'm happy that it brightened your day. You sure did need it after the weeks you have had. Just smile and make something beautiful. I can't wait to see!!!

Jim's Gem 02-24-2009 05:35 PM

That was so sweet of you Terri!!! Yes, I think I bought that purple rose one about 3 years ago also. It may not be something that anyone can find any more.

Izy
I am posting a picture of the quilt that I mentioned. Because it is queen size and I only had DH here to hold it up, we did not unroll the whole thing. But you can see the fabrics in it!!!

sewnsewer2 02-24-2009 06:02 PM

Oh boy, what great fabrics and goodies! That was so sweet of her.

Marcia 02-24-2009 06:04 PM

Oh, Izy--all of your fabric is fabulous!!! That Terri is a real sweetheart and you are so deserving!! Have a wonderful time sewing with them.
