Oh my, I can't get over all of the goodies she can pack into a box! I'm attaching a picture. She sent one yard of vintage style hankies printed fabric. 3 "happy colors" fat quarters along with some flower fabrics and strips of fabric (I'm working on a scrappy strip quilt).
Also.. tick tacks (which my 11 year old daughter tried to claim as soon as she saw them).. but nope.. they are mine mine mine. What is it with kids these days? They automatically think everything is theirs theirs theirs :roll:
She also sent a package of rotary cutting blade from Harbor Freight. I've heard so much about these on this board but never tried them - now I can :thumbup:
She send me an appliqued/embroidered washcloth which I just love. I never get hand made gifts from friends or family, I'm always the one making them - so I definitely appreciate this one.
She also sent a soapstone pencil, never heard of these but I can't wait to give it a try. A measuring gauge which I desperately need, a sewing kit which will be great to keep in the car for those disasters that happen when away from home. A Christmas Quilt label, and I'm trying to think what else I forgot - she crammed this box full!!
It was definitely a wonderful box. Thanks so much :)

I sure hope my pictures do the handmade items justice. They are beautiful! I got a cute scarecrow that sits on a shelf, candles and holder, 4 fat quarters, panels of little animals and flowers (sizeable amount), folding box, sticky notes, notepad, a Cats In Quilts quilt book...so cute!... and handmade items......my first mug rug and it has a little pocket that had 2 black currant tea bags, 2 instant coffee tubes, and cappuccino that I'm drinking right now. :lol: Also, my first handmade pin cushion that's a beautiful flower... and a little travel sewing kit including scissors and a needle. Thanks so much Ladybug...I love it all!
Very cute pincushion. I've never seen one like it before.

Wow, trying to catch up here. What wonderful boxes people are getting.
I'll take one of each.
I'll take the angel pin from that one, the pincushion from that one, the beauteous fabric from that one. Nevermind, just rebundle them and send them my way!

So , now the firmie I mailed is going over one of the worlds' oceans ( No ! I won''t say which one ). I imagine, barring unforseen postal hiccups, it should be there within the next week. So, yes, it is going over a LOT of ocean. Sara
