i am going to do a couple things in the sewing room then try and find the fabric to make the snowman

Got a terrific envelope from my Angel today: three lovely batiks in wonderfully summery colors (a cool blue, a spring-y/grassy-ish green, and a deep blue), an adorable little angel figurine (that will sit near my machine as a reminder that she's thinking of me!), and a beautiful card. I love it all, thanks so very much!

Lordy folks....we know she is alive and well now (Chrickette) as she is back on the board with us again. I thought she was starting to recover when she started sewing a few blocks here and there but now that she is sitting in her chair long enough to get on computer I think she for sure is going to survive. Welcome back my friend....you have been missed!!! Love you gal. (Oh and sure enjoyed lunch last week.)

I just mailed a package for July holidays to my anglee....so if anyone gets a real nice package in the next few days it must be from me :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: well maybe not all of them.....just one pkg to a special anglee
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thank you Angel! I got a beautiful card in the mail yesterday! Thank you so much!

package winging it's way to my angel as we speak.

got a pkg flying out today for my angel. I totally understand when our angels are delayed in sending thoughts our way, everyday life is busy enough, than someone throws a monkey wrench in and all h*$%% breaks loose. 4 family deaths in 4 months, unexpected surgery, good thing I have God to carry me through. Happy Summer to all

Wow pinky so sorry I totally understand hope things are doing better now.

thanks, next half year looks better, getting ready for DD wedding in Sept so that takes ones mind off the sad times.

Just got home late last night from my sons wedding in New Orleans. Have been home in Louisiana for the past week. But back in South Carolina now and there was a beautiful card waiting for me from my SQA. Thanks SQA!!!!

My head has been deep in the sand....lately. I do miss everyone!!!!

Finally got my sewing machine out and it is threaded and ready to go....

So far I am just sewing some 6.5 charm together....but it is a start.

Putting together a quilt for my grand daughter age 2 and the new baby boy (?????) coming in Nov....

And I might even start putting together some Black and White pieces in hopes of making something for myself....accent either yellow or red....
Then again...maybe I will start my chocolate theme quilt!!!!!

Oh my.....does this mean I will have some UFO??????

Chocolate Hugs and Chocolate Kisses from Darlene

Sent out a package to my Angelee today. Can't wait until she gets it!!!

Got the cutest quilt pattern, that you fussy cut big flowers and I can't wait to get started on it. Angel, you asked about the floods. We have not many basements in Oklahoma. Our damage was from the hail 2 weeks before. Just took the 2010 car in for $6400.00 hail damage and will have a new roof. Good ins. so we are fine. thanks again!

Keep your chin up Pinkypig.....just remember, when God closes a door, He opens a window!" Through Christ, we can endure anything. You're in my prayers.

Glad to see some of the lost faces back again. Happy Independence Day everyone.....early!!!!

OOOOOO got a package from my Angel with lots of wonderful goodies. Have already picked out a couple of quilts to make, well put on the list, from the magazines. Will try my best to post a pic tomorrow but have to take my overly swollen leg to bed right now. Thanks Angel!!!!

I got another fun package from my SQA Meme. She made the prettiest thinking of you card and there was a pattern for a Anties Two pattern and a whole bunch of pieces of red, white and blue fabric and red, white and blue thread. Perfect for the doll quilt in the July swap. I just started to cut the fabric into 2 inch squares. Meme, you nailed it this time. I had planned on going to buy a bunch of red and blue fabric for the swap when I take DH to Redding for his doctor appointment on Thursday. Thank you! There was also a big package of Swedish fish, Yummmmmm . I opened them first of all. Fabric panel from Keepsake Quilting will be perfect for some lap quilts that I will be making for special quilts that the deacons can give to who ever needs a cozy quilt. The pom pom maker will be fun to use when I need to make pom poms for the great grands and the hand embroidery patterns will come in handy too. The binder clips are perfect for holding bindings on the quilts. We are planning on having pancakes for breakfast tomorrow and we will enjoy the maple syrup from New Hampshire. It will be a real treat from the imatation syrup that I have be purchasing.
So many useful and fun things. Thank you so much. In your note you mentioned a card and small gift that you sent. I got a card that I took a picture of and posted on May 23rd. Is that the card you mentioned in the note? I haven't gotten anything else with your name since then. Hope it isn't lost in the mails.
Thank you again, you are the best. Hope you a feeling OK and have a Happy Fourth of July.

Hi Angel..the mailman didn't devour the gift !!!!!!!!

it arrived this morning....and ...OMG.........

thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ladies, wait until you see what we (hubby and me) got from my angel.

For me: holiday plaque and dish towel, flower magnets for the fridge..and a needle threader for the weakening eyes (!!!) and spa socks.......to ease the aching feet.

For him: Fathers' day & Birthday.....book and candy.

Angel, many thanks from the both of us.

OMG....

wait until your see the candy that was sent to my "fix-it" husband
from my angel.....see previous thread.

the chocolate candy is a set of four tools....consisting of
pliers, a needle-nose pliers, a wrench and 2 screws.

I told him not to eat his tools until the kids come over and see them.

Thanks again......angel
