Good Morning swappers!
My absence was due to my sweet hubby taking me away this weekend for our anniversary. He surprised me by coming home early Friday and whisking me away to a very nice bead and breakfast. We got back late last night so I'm just a tad bit behind.
I have already posted the April swap thread. Please remember to send me a notice that you have received your March package and who it is from if possible.

I let this package from Reginalovesfabric sit for a very long time to build even more anticipation and excitement. 30 seconds is a lifetime!!! Then, as I was taught, I daintily peeled back the flap (OK, so I ripped it open like a hungry animal) and out spilled all the wonderful goodies you see in my amateur photo attached. However, you can probably see the rip in the chocolate package. The first thing I did was to rip it open, but immediately, I thought of the razzing I would take for just a shell of a candy wrapper being in the picture, so I quickly found the digital camera and snapped, then ate the chocolate. It's a nice share size, so I promised myself I would share some with me on Monday. DH has his own hidden stash. What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
My fave colors are pink and purple and the ever so generous 7 FQ's will make a great tote. I have every size yo-you maker except extra large and I have coveted that size and keep passing it up. I am sure my SP has ESP and read my mind.
I love, love, love the Sneak Peek Preview of geometric shapes, especially since I like to fussy cut. And being able to visualize this before I buy fabric will be a big plus. It also helps with light/dark valuations since the templates are red translucent. And there is also a way to use them to cut the shapes adding 1/4 inch. What a handy, dandy item that I have never seen before.
Note the cute pincushion in a small painted pail. Most of all, take a look at the handmade elephant. Ellie is sewwwww cute!!!
And the tool is a VERY welcome addition. I can never find one when I need one. This one is going into my carrying case to accompany me to quilting club.
Regina, everything is perfect!!! Thank you from the bottom of my little quilting heart. I will answer the note you enclosed early next week.

Got a GREAT surprise package from Raggedyann a couple days ago. Check out all the great turtle stuff! The little pin cushion will soon be velcroed to my sewing machine, and the button-magnet is already mounted on my old metal sewing lamp. The fabric will soon find itself in a baby quilt for my neighbor's newborn grandson. The spools of thin white ribbon came just in time to be used for the flower-girl's basket for my daughter's wedding next month. I have plans for the pattern and buttons as well. And who can't use more labels? I didn't have any small ones to use. Thank you so much for everything!!!
