The Postman Always Rings…3 Times!

Lots of happy mail today :)

This bundle of goodness arrived from Katherine in Canada. I asked Katherine if she would consider doing a swap – one of my rose bags for a set of her gorgeous Babushkas, and she said YES! Not only did I get this customized family of dolls (shabby chic with brown hair), she also included some vintage Ric Rac, a cupcake fat 1/4, a bar of dark chocolate (which has disappeared…)& a sweet card – which all came wrapped and presented in this fabulous zippered selvedge bag.

Thank you ever so much Katherine, you have blessed my socks off!

The 2nd parcel to arrive was this…

Bree organised an International fat 1/4 swap, I was lucky enough to be partnered with Ali from Georgia, USA. She sent me 2 fat 1/4’s (we both agreed that 1 just wasn't enough!). The 1st is Earth by Amy Schimler – who lives in Georgia like Ali - & the 2nd is Summer Soiree by Paula Prass – who is from Carmel, Indiana - near where Ali was born & raised. Thank you ever so much Ali, I love the fat 1/4’s & the stories behind them both. I am going to laminate the handmade card to use as a bookmark, which leads me to my 3rd parcel…

I’ve been shopping at The Book Depository again, but this time it’s for the kids – Really! Rachel has been reading these books at school and wanted a copies of her own. James got some books too, I will show you them when I finish making his cowboy vest :) 

My friend Vikki came over to work on her daughters quilt and was very impressed with all the parcels. Here is a photo of her work in progress.

Our girls are both getting quilts for their 12th birthdays this year - Yay

With Love
