Oh my….Can you believe I got 7 packages over the course of two days? Â I surely couldn’t!!
I’ll have to split it all up into several blog posts one for this week and one for next.
My first package came from our vet. Â I LOVE our vet. Â She is truly the best. Â I’ve had two dogs that have required quite a lot of vet work and she’s been with us through it all. Â I drive a ways to get there but I can’t recommend Sara and the Postville Vet clinic more. Â I’ve only had very good experiences there.
Here is what she sent….
This is the book. Â You can find it HERE on Amazon.
The next package came anonymously…Well I think it is anonymously. Â I can’t find a card or and address.
The package was filled with…
all things I love…RED fabric!!! Â and Kaffe fabrics…and a piece of green to add to my collection.
The bright Kaffe fabrics I adore!! Â I’m starting to feel a red quilt coming on. Â I have a pattern drafted but who knows when I’ll ever get to to it!
A small package came from Betty…well actually via Missouri Star Quilt Company but from Betty. Â She sent me a cute little charm pack of Island Batiks. Â How fun.
She had sent a note a few days before the package arrived. Â It said that she got me a “little something” and it would be coming from Missouri Star.
The next package came from Melissa in FL. Â The outside of the package said to Jo and kids. Â It had some great goodies inside.
I know my school aged kids are going to be so excited about this awesome paper. Â It’s big and oversized. Â It has a place at the top to draw a picture and lines on the bottom to write a story to go with it. Â Â
They play school often. Â They love drawing and spelling words so this is perfect for them. Â I opened the package after they all left. Â It’s a Friday as I write and now I have to wait until Monday to show them…bummer. Â They will love it.
Also in the package were lots of things Mickey Mouse themed. Â To the left is a set of washcloths that are Mickey…then Mickey fabric too!! Â I lot the red. Â I can imagine cutting the Mickey heads out and using them for the center of a block…Hmm…
More boxes…this one was from Karen in Indiana. Â It was filled with fun!
Here are the non crafty goodies. Â Â
Did you notice the purple cell phone. Â I’m afraid to put the one out. Â I think the girls will be a scuffle over who can have that one. Â Purple is the favorite color around here even more than pink.
Check out these fun flannels and brushed cottons. Â The trucks…CUTE. Â The letters way cute too!!
These were all neutrals. Â I have to say the top one is my favorite. Â It says “twinkle twinkle little star” and “I love you to the moon and back”.
I loved this little print with the alphabet. Â I pulled it out to give it a look. Â It’s so-so cute. Â Check out the “D is for Dog”. Â Sadly, it doesn’t have the whole alphabet. Â It’s so cute though that I don’t think it’s a big deal.
There was a nice variety of other fabric too.
The surprise at the bottom of the box…THESE!!
Remember the ABC panel from Quilted Twins? Â Find that HERE if you missed it.
Best of all, Karen sent a note. Â She got a Lenni APQS Longarm. Â She volunteered to do a couple quilt tops for charity as she practices with her machine. Â YAHOO!! Â As I said, BEST NEWS OF ALL!! Â Thanks Karen. Â Watch for a package to be coming once I get everything all sorted.
Thanks everyone for sending all the goodies.  I continue to be surprised and amazed at all the  things that come in my mailbox.  What an amazing bunch of people you all are!!
I love the pea fabric. When my son was young, he always said that I put peas in everything I cooked! (He didn’t like peas!) When I got back to quilting several years ago, I had a bunch of pea fabric that showed up in almost all my quilts–I almost called the blog I began writing “Peas in Everything.” :)
Enjoy all the goodies.
What wonderful things you get, Jo. I remember that paper from grade school. Even down to the smell and feel of it! Isn’t it strange the things a picture can pry from our memories?
And the fabric! I have a thing for words on fabric. They just call to me!
I finished listening to this book today-The Last Year of the War by Susan Meissner today. I think you will enjoy it. I sure did while I was quiltng a quilt to send to Tanzania.
