Shrewsbury is also in Pennsylvania....oh my which one could it be.......
It might be me, Shrewsbury is in England and so am I although I live in the North East and Shrewsbury is further south but it might have to go there first. Can't wait, would join you all on the bench but think its a bit far. we have a lovely warm spring day here so think I will take my breakfast into the back garden and enjoy the sunshine (and listen out for the postie!)

everything looks great, I really like the butterflys
It was me and it is here. Love all my goodies. Robin did a fabulous job with my package. I got 10 embroidered butterfly squares and matching fabric to complete the project. No excuses to not getting it done. Also I got 5 FQ's of Springy fabric, a Bed Runner book, a water bottle cooler/carrier, small ceramic bunny, and pkg of east bunny chocolates. And all wrapped in batting to top things off.
Thansk you so much everything is awesome.

As I slumped up the front walked a saw a large white box at my door, my pace quickened and the rigors of the day washed away as I saw it was my Squishy from my swap pal Aurora!!! I grabbed it best I could and struggled wit my walker to get inside, I know some of you like to wait and relish te moment...not me!!! LOL I ripped into it. I'm afraid my pics won't do what I received justice..I got:
hemostats
my favorite Lindt chocolate
the coolest knit pin cushion I have ever seen, fully loaded with flower head pins!!
7 YES SEVEN!! fat quarters of the nicest fabric I touched in awhile.
A plastic storage box that will come in handier than you realize, if I took a larger pic of my table you'd see what I mean LOL
and a lovely and written note
Thank you soooooo much Aurora you made my week...heck you made my month!!!

What a pretty pin cushion David got. And everybody's getting some really nice fabric too. It just amazes me at how many dfferent kinds of fabric there must be in this ole world of ours. My husband says it's all in my sewing area. Funny man huh? I have 5 bins of fabric. I seen some one here that has more than my local wal mart. lol. Mary

I received a lovely surprise today all the way from Australia ! Thank you, pennyj123, for all your gifts...3 fat quarters, a quilt label, squigly (?) scissors, a scrapbooking book and kit, a copy of her local newspaper, a koala purse with a gift inside and......CHOCOLATE ! My favorite gift has to be the little chick that you tucked inside the purse. I just took it out and I jumped when the lights inside the chick started blinking all different colors. Can't wait to show my grandchildren tomorrow ! They'll love it !
I'm looking forward to reading the paper later tonight. I think that was such a great idea to include in your package. Thank you again for everything ! Pat

Canada Post finally got smarter! I just checked the tracking on my package and it is in the US now. It was going to a state towards the east and they actually sent it to Mississauga before shipping to the US. My other packages all travelled to the west coast of Canada before heading to eastern US. Hopefully my secret pal will get it very soon. Hint: The place she lives in has a lot in common with a Canadian province! That should be enough of a clue for her to know for sure!!!!!!!!
