Look: I opened all my envelopes from the gals participating in the fabric swap within the Snowball Quilt Challenge!!! See, I told you ..... Christmas!!!
Cute packages, cute ric rac, cute little charms and a bonus cute silky fabric (in red and gold with a little blue shot through - I think this will make a great table mat with a little embroidery and applique') and not a single duplication of fabrics from all across this nation! Thank you all so much to my swap partners!!!
So then, I had to get MY snowball fabrics out and play with them and let them play with the new pieces:
Aren't they all great?!
This is why I had to wait to open the swap fabrics all at once. I would have had to have stalled every time I opened ONE. So, every day or two....open a package, fold it and hold it and take pictures of it and then play with the fabrics I already have, then put the new with the old and move them around and, and, and. You get the picture. I call it Fabric-itis. It's in the medical dictionary, I'm sure. So I waited and only stalled once, for a very long time!!
Then.... in yesterday's mail, I also received this:
When I first saw these boxes I was surprised that I had boxes waiting for me. I had momentarily forgotten what they might be. The first was Lakehouse Dots in white! Three yards! When out shopping this past weekend at the not-local quilt shop, I mentioned that I was still looking for the Lakehouse dots in white, and the gal that was cutting my fabric said she had a whole bolt. She could send me some! So, THANKS, Roberta, you are a sweetheart! That is going in a couple of projects, including snowballs! Then the other box made me drool... again: I ordered more of that
But thank you quilt-this.com !!! Now I can make my "Irish Birds" even bigger and better!!!
OK, Really, off to make the HQ hum!
Another beautiful day in neighborhood!
Debra,
ReplyDeleteYour reds look wonderful!! I've got all my snowball blocks done, now I'm ready to start assembling my rows.
We started our blogs about the same time, I just had my 50th anniversary!
So what are you making with that absolutely gorgeous Rouenneries fabric?
I am so enjoying looking at everyone's red selections. Reds, reds, and more beautiful reds!
