Eye chart fabric

Bingo Bonnie commented that she liked this fabric that my friend Auntann gave me. I hadn't notice at first but look a little closer (no joke intended). It says "Quilting and sewing make me happy love to buy beautiful fabric". Bonnie is right, fun fun fun.

Map

I'm just loving my map locator (scroll on down). So I would like to say HELLO to few of you who keep coming back.

Hello Nara Japan, Austria, Italy, Australia, San Luis Opisbo CA, El Dorado AR and a place I know well, Bronx NY.

Won't you leave a comment and let me know who is from where?

Cyber Fyber

These photos in no way show the beauty of this card. There are many colors and textures along with alot of beads and hand stitching. I think I got the better end of this deal. If you haven't seen Susan's beautiful work, check out her website and check out her collection of postcards, many which are still available for trade .

R.A.K.

Another R.A.K. arrived yesteray. Missmikol , who is another participant in the HGTV Romantic F8 swap has sent me some of her scraps. Several of the gals have let me keep the leftovers. Here's her fabric.

But the big surprise of the day is from my best friend AuntAnn. We have been cyber buddies since 2000 and have never met face to face. We have been through all sorts of things together including some serious illnesses. I am so very grateful she is my friend.

Anyway, here is what she sent me. These are some pretty large hunks of fabric. I carelessly measured one piece ( the black with orange) and it is about 6 yards. I have no idea how she managed to get all this crammed into a flat rate box. Thank you my dear friend.

Incoming

I got some really cool stuff in the mail the last two days. First, there is a clever postcard from Kate. N is for Night. I'm not sure if you can tell, but this card was sent in a clear plastic envelope. That is because Kate added some stars which float around inside (kind of like a snowglobe). Can you see them down on the bottom. She is so clever, I just love her stuff.







I also got a lovely Heart card from Hannah in Sweden. I still flips me out to get mail from outside the US. I don't know why.

And for those of you who are stuck inside because of the snow and cold, here is a pic of one of my orchids that just bloomed. Don't envy our weather too much though, it is so warm and humid, we have had to put the a/c on again.
