It came! And it is amazing - thank you so much for the great stuff! Opening it was tons of fun, on a dreary, drizzly day. I will post pics tomorrow so you can all see what a great package Crafty Darlene put together. Thank you from the Big Apple - OK, a bit up the Hudson but I'm Big Apple at my core...groan, sorry, couldn't help it...

I had the same trouble last month - my package shipped priority to the same zip code - spent a lovely journey around the eastern seaboard going from one sort facilty to the next before heading west. I had to pm my sp to make sure she received the package.

Well, if this isn't a big hint, nothing is. Hope my SP liked it. No word from her yet about receiving it. Guess she is having fun at the retreat for now.
It sure seems to have taken its merry time. I can mail across country to my DGKs faster than it took from CA to MT. Priority, indeed.

I just received the most wonderful package from my SP Vicki W from Georgia!! There is a 2007 quilt magazine, a couple of years before I started quilting so it's new to me! Two fat quarters and a half yard of beautiful yellow fabric, a pet accessory kit for Mollie (my lab) so I'll have to put that together and post photos. A package of needles, a book, a beautiful mug rug made by my SP, her first, and I also made my first and sent one to my SP. Also, an assortment of teabags (love my tea). Best of all, an assortment of vintage feedsack scraps from her personal stash!!!!!!!!! Thank you Vicki W, I absolutely love my gifts!!! I'm thinking I'll make a dresden plate with the feedsack material and frame it!

Ok, so this month, whether Lori did it on purpose or by chance, Barefoot Quilter and I each had the others name for SP. I got my box today from her and I'm still giggling a bit.
I am truly amazed at the generosity of quilters and especially our SP's. It makes a heart warm to know that there are people out there who will continue to make this world a bit better just be living in it.
Anyway, here goes ;)
I got some remnants, which I love those things! I'm always raiding JoAnn's and Walmart's remnants when I can. I also got a roll of FQ's, three white FQ's, heat bond for small and large projects, stitch and sew, a cutie scarecrow figurine, some hand sanitizer, jergen's hand cream, a set for the kitchen with a potholder, towel and oven mitt (I can always use those!!). Last but not least, I got candy. Yah. Chocolate AND Red Vines. :mrgreen:

So excited to see what my Sp KoKo sent me. There are so many things. I hope I don't forget anything. Here goes:
Nice handwritten card, Fall/Autumn/Thanksgiving panel, 3 fabric pieces that would be great for baby quilt, Halloween fabric that is so cute, two handmade potholders, magnifying glass, mini memo pad and pen, I spy quilt book, counted cross stitch kit, 4, yes, 4 patterns, large storage bags she uses to put projects in, treats for my furbabies and m&m's that were supposed to be mine, but my DH found them. LOL She thought of everyone. The I spy book is for ideas for my first grandson being born in Dec. I absolutely love everything. Thanks so much for all the loot.
