mostly i never get any mail at all, an occasional advert, the monthly flyer from PBS station and my Yankee magazine...occasionally a quilty peep shares their bounty with me and yesterday it was like Christmas!
the box was too small for a car but plenty else to make me squeal....
a Christmas wall quilt ready for quilting....and maybe gifting?
a couple of baggies of scraps...new fabric is always interesting right?
brief sojourn today for quick lab appointment....then it's more cracker blocks--i've decided on 25 total, so 10 more to go. for the smaller pieces, some checkerboard blocks are planned. next outing friday afternoon for quilt group, so thankful for diversions while chilling out with a couple of 90-degree days ahead. another day with overflowing blessings for health, home, family, friends....
What an absolute treasure trove you received; SEW happy for you~ :)
ReplyDeleteWell, all this will keep you out of trouble for a while.
ReplyDeleteHow fun, what a generous friend. The snowmen look great all sewn together. I've never heard of Elizabeth Ogilvie so I'll have to look her up. My mom's favorite author was Gene Stratton Porter from Indiana not Maine. But, I bet the times were similar.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise. It’s like Christmas has come early. Do enjoy. I love the little snowman project you have already made.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a windfall! Just going through the books should be very interesting, keep a pad of post-it notes nearby to mark idea pages.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you! Just the kind of diversion you needed! Nice to see you put so much fabric to use already. The wreath quilt is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely surprise! Have much fun!
ReplyDeleteThe best kind of mail.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the fun this package brought. Squeal-worthy, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat is an author I've not heard of before, and I've enjoyed lots of vintage authors from thrift and used book stores. Another to add to my list. :)
