Ya gotta love MAIL like this!

Not bills or grocery ads or bank statements or even the latest from Netflix, no this is the GOOD STUFF!
Here are some of the wonderful things I have gotten in my mailbox in the past few weeks:
From one of Quilt Taffy's Thursday giveaways;

a cute little zippered bag that I won from Tickled Paisley for the SEWN giveaway;

A little pouch from Sue in Australia for the SEWN giveaway (it fits my camera PERFECTLY!);

The following was from Kelly at Charming Chatter, she was cleaning out her stash and was sooooo generous in giving four boxes like this to gals that participated in the quiltalong by posting progress over at her blog. Here is the bulging and very heavy box;

and here is what was stuffed inside that box;

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, Shangri La - a favorite of mine but yet I didn't own any until now!

another line I have admired but didn't own. I could never decide on which prints to get!

Assorted MODA pinks - aren't they sweet?

yet ANOTHER line I have drooled over - Red,White and Bold;


Kelly was sooooo generous with her stash busting. There were assorted other prints in the box, most of them appear to be fat quarters or larger. It was like this box was packed just for me! I'm wondering what she has left in her stash if she got rid of 4 boxes of fabric like this! I wouldn't mind seeing the collections that the other gals received. Thanks so much, Kelly!!

Praise - we've had some more interest in the house we have for sale, a couple from TX came to look at it this week.

Prayers - for my hubby, college girl and son and friends that have gone backpacking today and will be back tomorrow evening.

  13. Did you attend the BSR class on the 8th?
    I also wanted to buy a BSR foot for my 430 but now that I've read your problems I'm a bit frightened!
    Good luck:)
