Then the next week I received a little package from Cindy and in it was this panel from the show. Isn't it pretty? hmmm! what shall I make with it? Thanks so much Cindy for thinking of me while you were on your trip. Check out her blog. She has some fabulous photos of the quilt show.
Also within the last 2 weeks Stephanie sent me two little packages. She knows how much I love to check for vintage treasures when I go to antique stores. She sent me all these little button cards which are hard to find. Going through all those cards was like looking at treasure. The cards themselves can be so artistic. Look at those lacy green buttons. So unique.
Stephanie then sent me this sweet little bookmark. It will be used to mark my pages in this newest book I have checked out from our local library. It is a fun read and brings back lots of memories. When was the last time you went to your local library?
Thanks so much for your generosity Stephanie!
Slowly I have gotten a block done from Linen Closet Quilts. I have two more blocks to do. Dawn will be having the quilt setting instructions soon. She also mentioned that she will be starting a new BOM soon. With Passion,
Carrie P.

How fun is that, to receive the panel of a postcard you got!
ReplyDeleteAnd such wonderful treasures for you from Stephanie! She's a very special person.
Oooooo lots of goodies!! I love to go to the library!! I must read that book, looks fun!
ReplyDeleteCarrie I have been watching your progress with these wonderful applique blocks for the Linen Closet BOM and your fabric choices are stunning!! I can't wait to see what you do for the layout.
ReplyDeleteI know it is difficult for you but so glad you are able to do a little needle work.
I am sure these little gifties really perk your day..as you do when we read your posts.
Wouldn't you just love to go to Sisters? That panel is LOVELY. And those buttons are just wonderful - it's always such a thrill to find old buttons. I think I've checked out that book, we go every week and I always hit the "new" section first, lol.....looking for the latest craft books! Love your block Carrie, your applique is impeccable!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to receive little surprises in the mail...you have hit the jackpot!!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the new BOM when she gets it ready, thanks for the heads up!!

What wonderfully thoughtful goodies Carrie. People are so nice in blogland. Hoping your wrist and arm is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHello.. back visiting again... and I just have to say..LOVE THOSE BUTTONS... :o) Absolutely fantastic... and oh so good to be back and catch up a little.. hugs
ReplyDeletePretty block. I can't wait to see the quilt setting. I think you could just frame the Sister's panel. :o)
ReplyDeleteBlogging friends are the best! Meeting Cindy at Sisters was like seeing a long lost friend! How sweet of them both to send the wonderful goodies! I love the linen closet block - has a vintage feel to it!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Great gifts. Love vintage fun.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing better than me at keeping up with the BOM from Linen Closet Quilts. I need to get into gear. Wonder what the next BOM will be.
ReplyDeleteWonderful mail...love that panel...didn't realize they made those. It'll be fun to see what you make with it!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun gifties Carrie, but I especially like your finished block. Such perfect stitches.
ReplyDeleteLovely block! I saw the bookmarks on Stephanie's blog... so cute and such a neat idea. Lucky you to have received one! I'm thinking I may need to do something like that for Christmas this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting panel! What a lovely surprise! Your applique block looks great. I'm at the library at least once a week to keep my bookworm daughters happy but I'm so busy chasing my 2 year old around that I don't usually take books out for myself. :0)
ReplyDeleteI love the loot you were lucky enough to get. I wonder what you'll do with the panel eventually.
ReplyDeleteCarrie ~ I just have to say... WOO HOO! You know why!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet friends we make out there in Blogland. Cindy has got to be among the best! Stephanie too with all of those adorable button cards (that I am so dearly trying not to covet)and the bookmark and all. Sweet!
I love your beautiful Linen Closet block.
Could you please keep me posted on when Dawn will be starting a new BOM? I would love to post it for her on Stash Manicure if that is ok.
What a pretty quilt block, Carrie! Lovely gifts and, yes, I do love my local library and use it often. That looks like an interesting book!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, indeed.
ReplyDeleteOoh, what a wonderful block, Carrie.
ReplyDeleteBlogging friends - simply generous - Stephanie has such a dear heart.
