I got my first squishy today! From Tink's Mom, thank you SEW much! And did you mean the shoes are the ugly? I don't think so and my daughter will love them! The pink floral too! The purple will be really useful, a great blender and the bright one I see cut in strips and used as a groovy border on a mini quilt!

Thanks again, :D :D :D

Here's a pic!

WOW! Those got there quick, huh??
I didn't make it to post office today, but DEFINITELY going on Monday.

Love the one with the shoes, Too cute!

Ninnie

It's funny, I have a charm square something similar which Lily was admiring the other day...wait til she gets home and sees this!

BTW - yesterday I was tracing the outline for the Baltimore block and Joey says 'is that freezer paper, Mummy?' It wasn't, is was regular paper, but amazing that he knew the technical term!

I absolutely love the shoe fabric. I know someone who would love a quilt with it. She collects antique shoes.

I was just thinking how cute it would be in a quilt for a girl who loves to dress up! Or even a sun dress!

So are you saying you have already brain washed Joey? :lol: :lol:

He could be the next great artist or quilter! Love it!


Ninnie

There, you see Susie? We all LOVE your ugly!

[quote=Ninnie]He is really artsy crafty - maybe I should get him hand sewing for starters... he could be the next Kafe Fassett!

Very nice fabrics...don't see any ugly ones, either :D :D :D Get a needle and thread in Joey's hands...he will surpass Mr Fassett....Lily can help design fabrics...and both will be able to support you in the manner to which you would like to be accustomed to!!! Not to mention the glorius stash you would have :shock: :lol: :lol:

Great idea! :D BUT with Lily designing, the stash would be PINK!!!!

a girl after my own heart...and let's mix the pinks, with either wines, or reds...yummy! :wink:

BTW, my 'squishy'...lol, might take a bit longer than some, but think you may find it worth waiting for. I found a lovely m. y. and a red, and some gr.....that's all I'm telling... :mrgreen:

Chele's came this morning! I love them, although I'd have been afraid to chose one of them myself - but that is what's so great about this, you get fabric you wouldn't usually pick! And now I see it together with the others, I can see possibilities... :D

There were also some sweeties in there ( but Chele, is it safe to give the kids the Atomic Fire Balls?!) :mrgreen:

Oh sure, my babies grew up on lemons and Atomic Fire Balls. It's called "entertainment for parents!" Seriously, I hadn't had a fire ball in years and ate one last week. It about killed me! They used to be my favorite candy. My kids love them!

I took your package to the mail center today, I hope that you like them! They said it would be about 10 days..... :wink:

Those are some purty fabrics ya got there :D :D :D

Thanks ladies - it's sew exciting! I'm thinking I might make a scrappy with some of everything you send!

Love the second batch also!!


fireballs were a favorite when my kids were little HOT!!! or at least they used to be.

Ninnie

LOVE THE FABS! Lucky you :D

Boy...those really got there quickly! Mine were sent sometime last week...don't remember what day, but the boat is headed you way! Its soo exciting to get soooo many squishies...did you warn your mailperson? :lol: :lol:

Here's Gai's!

Thanks so much! I love the humming birds though it's suspiciously large for an FQ LOL! No uglies in there as far as I can see! :mrgreen:

And a birthday card depicting Gai and I swigging some 'vin'! :lol:

Glad you like the shoes! The purple was bought to go with them! Have fun making them into something..............

Thanks Susie - I will! I'm thinking of the shoes fussy cut with the purple round them somehow.... My daughter loves the shoes and need some new cushion covers for her room so maybe... I'll keep you posted!

What, did I measure wrong? You must be mistaken! MOI? :roll:

Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining! I LIKE the way you measure! :D

k, liked your old avatar with the kids. Love your knew one, too. It's so fresh and springy/summery. Like that color. :D

Thanks C - I just fancied a change! :D

The quilt shop in my home town used to have "mystery bundles" ... I am a BIG sucker for grab bags. ANyway, I found out the same thing as you ... I would have never picked out most of the fabrics, but as soon as I saw them in the package, lightbulbs went on all over the place!

Thank you for sharing your squishies .... I am having as much fun observing as if I were the recipient. You are truly spreading the joy!

Thanks Omak! The postman blew his horn today and I thought it was another one but no, just some boring registered letter - booo!

Bummer! although ... registered letter ... maybe you are about to become independently wealthy <g>.

More likely to be someone WANTING money! :lol: It was for DH and they wouldn't let me sign for it so don't know yet! :mrgreen:

I don't like those kinds of surprises .... grrrrr ... LOL

Oh right....it sure had better be the registered letter from the lottery folks!

Now that would be a real surprise since we don't DO the lottery! :mrgreen: Although Hans says we've got as much chance of winning as those who DO!

Sue - thanks, I'll let you know when it arrives! :D

I don't do it either....I always just hope they make a mistake and give it to me anyway :wink: :lol:

Patti - yours came today and they're beautiful, thank you so much! And there's FIVE, you are naughty! :mrgreen:

BTW I LOVE it that you're indecisive! :D

:lol: Hope you enjoy!

Thanks I will!!! :D

Two today, from Sharon B and Sue (zyx!) Thank you girls, I love the card you made Sue, it made me laugh - so funny and clever! :D And beautiful fabrics!
Sharon - I think you put an extra package in there by mistake :mrgreen: I love the eiffel towers - the kids were really tickled by that! And are the cakes calorie free?! :D
