Goodies in the mail......

This is the PIF gift I received from Tami. My first knitted dish cloth. I have wanted one for ages but think it is too nice to use! The coasters are fragrant and I am sure will let off a beautiful aroma when I rest my got cuppa on one. Lastly the linen towel is too nice to use! The stitches are tiny. Thanks so much Tami! Floss and Chook, thanks for your patience, yes I am working on it!

This next pile of goodies is from a Christmas in July swap I did with a non-blogging friend, Rosemary. There are two Christmas patterns, a colour wheel, a white pencil, a magnetic needle case and a finger guard.

We are all suffering with colds or a winter flu at the moment. Feeling pretty miserable today with a bright red nose! Take care were ever you are,

Quilty Mail

Isn't quilty mail the best kind of mail to get?

The "Quilt Card' above is from Janet. I won that by leaving a comment regarding my mum and I. It is a greeting card with a pattern inside. Great idea.

Next is Myomi! Patti had a giveaway on her blog when she had a clean up and I was lucky enough to get Myomi. Myomi has some little pieces in her kimono, so maybe a cushion will be a place to start!

The two swap blocks from Christina. Sorry for not photographing the, earlier Christina.

Thanks everyone, Jodie

Another great mail day!

Lots of goodies waiting at the post office this morning. Firstly from Chookyblue a stitchery pattern and some quilt labels for leaving a comment on her 50th post. How easy was that! Thanks very much!



Second is my birthday present from DH. My birthday is still a few weeks away but seeing as I organised this I wasn't going to wait - The Civil War Diary Quilt and The Civil War Love Letter Quilt. I wanted the Diary book last year for my birthday and without going into the long drawn out story, I didn't get it. So on the 17th of July I pointed out to him that there weren't many shopping days left till my birthday if you had to order something from the states! He said order what you want, and I did! Thanks so much Russ.


Will I make the quilts? I don't know. Taking my track record into account probably not, but they look interesting reading. I'll need to start a collection of Civil War Repros now.
