Look what just came to my house! A while back I ordered some fabric from a US supplier and had it shipped to Gai so she could forward it on to me, (I asked first if she minded! :mrgreen: ) Anyway it came today and she put one or two other goodies in to keep it company on the trip!

I am absolutely overwhelmed by your generosity and I don't know where to start! The extra leaf fabric, there's ACRES of it! The koi are fabulous and I've been after that for ages to OBW! The dragons, like yours, can't wait to cut into that! And the batiks for my art quilts, and the other funky fabric with the butterflies - WOW!

Quilting mags, puzzle books for my son which he will LOVE and a fairy outfit for my daughter DITTO and sweeties and Reeses Pieces for MOI. Yes there were 4 packets - one is opened and half gone already! Thank you so much my too generous friend!!! :-D :-D :-D

quilters are so generous, enjoy.

I'm glad it got there safely!! Enjoy. And tell Joey I want him to keep me up to date on how he's doing with "The Eleventh Hour". I had so much fun doing that myself.

It pleases me to see your gift and the pleasure you have in receiving it.
gaigai has proved herself to be a friend and an angel. Her name was written into my 'special people' book a long time ago.

Wow...talking about a great surprise package. You must have been overwhelmed to find all those extra goodies. The quilters here are absolutely awesome.

You can say you are better off having her come into your life. There are so many generous people on the board it never ceases to amaze me, they know the true meaning of it's better to give than receive.

Kids came home - Joey is thrilled with his books and announced that he's allowed to take some sweets to school on Thursday because they're going on a trip to see a theatre production of The Lion, The Witch adn the Wardrobe. I said 'well there are a FEW sweeties at home"! Lily could barely get out of her school clothes fast enough and into the fairy outfit! :lol:

Back view, as pretty as the front! Lily says "thanks Gai!"

Awww, what a cutie!! And I think the wings should be turned around so the bigger ones are at the top. I'm glad they like their stuff!!

Grammie says "Aww, she does look like a little angel!"

Ducky 12-07-2010 08:51 AM

Gai, you are such an incredible lady and always so thoughtful.

K, I can't wait to see what your OBW's turn out to be! Have fun with those!!!!!

Just saw this and I have some of that green floral for a OBW! Can't wait to get started on it. Want to see what you do with it as well! Lovely gifts, and a beautiful daughter!
