OK! Honestly! - I really mean it - I don't want to get too sappy but I got another squishy in the mail from my partner in the For the Love of Solids II. This one got me a little misty eyed too.
My partner made that incredible mini quilt for me - she even used Kona pomegranate which is my latest all time favorite - and my partner? Oh ya - my partner was the talented Candi@Raccooncreekquilts.
Ok, here's the misty-eyed part. You know how you want people to follow your blog? I mean it's fun when pictures of followers pop up on your sidebar right? When I started this blog last May, my first quilty follower was Candi! I mean, I was surprised to even get a follower and there she was - right next to my cousin's picture (by the way thanks Theresa :D) ! I love stalking her blog too - she's got some great stuff going on!
You can imagine my surprise when I saw her name on the return address label for the package.
Candi also included a pin cushion of loveliness, a charm pack - (her card is cool too) and this is a super touch:
Like I needed that - but I do! I really do! Join :D
Have a good weekend!

These fabric strips were the packing 'peanuts' for the box she sent! Isn't that a great idea? I will so enjoy using these too! Thank you Candi! I already have the mini quilt up in my sewing room and some plans for the extras you sent. Candi also has a fabulous quilt pattern that is available - check it out!
I am SO behind on my quilting lately and need to get the ball rolling. I have a couple more swap deadlines approaching but think I will get these wrapped up soon. I really need some time at the machine but 70 degree weather and visiting family are taking over this weekend.
Also - did you see this?
I couldn't resist. I have been wanting to make the Tova for.ever. and the price kept me from doing it. Well...check it out - the pattern is available via PDF now and Kerry is doing a sew-a-long! Now what should I choose for fabric? EEKLike I needed that - but I do! I really do! Join :D
Have a good weekend!
what a wonderful swishy to recieve.xx
ReplyDeleteThe mini quilt is fab - how lovely to get such a wonderful package from your first non-relation follower :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous mini...it will inspire you to do great things!
ReplyDeleteGreat package, and it was definitely fate! Love the 'green' packaging idea too :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm skipping the Tova with a heavy heart, because it would look like a potato sack maternity outfit on me - Kerry and I talked, and we decided that large bust and smallish waist along with short torso do not a good Tova wearer make!
That was such a sweet thing for her to do for you! The sew along looks fun, too!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Susie
awww - Im so glad you liked it! I had a really great time making it for you!
