I’ve told you time and time again that my mail box is a fun place to be. Â Now that I pay more and more bills online, it has actually gotten to the point that I get more good mail than bad mail. Â This week I got a box from absolutely jammed full of fabric and scrap and crafty goodies.
I waited until Kelli came home one day before I started sorting it. Â Kelli sorted and grabbed out a few pieces batiks. Â She’s got a batik quilt planned and has been collecting scraps for it. Â As we sorted both of us marveled at the generosity of quilters who sent us their goodies. Â We set aside some floral prints still hoping to make a Floribunda quilt. Â We set aside the red, white and blacks and realized there were quite a few pieces. Â In fact, enough pieces that it inspired me to cut right into them before I even put them away. Â You’ll have to stop by tomorrow to see what I am working on with all of those pieces.
We got another package recently in the mail….
This was a charity quilt top. Â My hope is to get this one on the machine this week and get working on it. Â I can’t wait!! Â Â Each time I see the weather lately it seems that someone is under the weather gun for tornadoes here in Midwest-today and tomorrow both look stormy. Â It just reminds me that someone somewhere will likely be in need. Â Thanks to all you charity quilt top donators for helping to provide those needed quilts to bring them comfort. Â I currently have four completed quilt tops here. Â I am hoping to get a couple more done then ship them out again.
Thanks so much readers for making my mailbox a fun place to check each day!!
