At Last!...She is REVEALED!

Well Blogland, here she is, my Stichers' Angel! Please meet Jennifer from Sweet Liberty Grace ! She is also a stay-at home mom and we have many things in common! When I finally "met" her I realized that Helen did GREAT job of giving her to me!

Jennifer enlisted the help of Mrs. Nook! Cara became her "eye & ears" and gave her glimpses of me, which is why she knew exactly what I would like! All of this makes me feel so special!

Now, here is my special package! When I got it in the mail, I called Cara, so that she could "be with me" while I opened it up. (She had to listen to all of my "Oooohs and Aaaah" over the phone!) Jennifer's theme for the package was "my favorite things".

Everything is so nicely packaged, which is so like Jennifer!

The little blue box was filled with a cute needle case and tea (because Cara has me addicted to it). She also knows that quilters' need chocolate in order to make their creations.

Jennifer sent me an ssortment of paisley fabric because she knows that I want to make a quilt out of all paisley print fabric.They go nicely with the stash that I have already collected!

The sweet little blue bird is another addition to my bird collection. He is now perched on the top of my bookcase and everytime that I see it I just smile!

She also gave me a personalized note pad, but I forgot to take a photo of it.Sorry!

The little apron is my favorite! It is definately something that I would make for myself, but now I don't have to because someone special made it for me!

When I read Jennifer's blog, I made a list of things that I have in common with her. It took up the front and back of my piece of paper! Here are some of the things that we have in common:

• Our husbands have the same job, only different branches of the military!
• We both love Moda fabric!
• We have both been to Paducah, KY! My husband took me there 2 years ago for Mother's Day.
• We both have family living in Puyallup, WA. My best friend lives there!
• We both love antiques and things with a history!
• We are both working on Piece-N-Plenty
• We both love applique
• We both love to scrapbook and rubber stamp

My list goes on and on! So please check out her really, really, cute blog and tell her that you also love her work!

THANK YOU JENNIFER FOR GIVING ME YOUR FAVORITE THINGS!

Until Next Time...Happy Quilting!

The Wait Is Almost Over!

I just received a message from my Stichers' Angel that another package has been "heaven sent!" I am so excited because the wait is almost over and her identity will soon be revealed to me (and you of course)!



Hurry Mr. Postman! Hurry!



Until Next Time....Happy Quilting!



BTW....I heard that she had a little helper her who gave her "extra eyes" to what over me! Any ideas Mrs. Nook ? You are a sneaky one, don't you think RED ?

Another Gift from Above

Well I was lucky enough to receive another gift from above. Well actually it is from my Stitchers' Angel. I actually received it a few days ago, but I haven't had a chance to post about it.



So here is what I received:

• A cute fabric basket, which I use as a scrap catcher for all of those pesky threads that seem to land on the floor! How did she know that I need one of those! It is made out of Moda's Sanctuary line, which I also have in my stash. Again, how did she know?


• Inside the fabric basket was a hefty supply of DMV variegated floss in the most wonderful colors. It almost looks like she sent me a rainbow because the colors are so pretty! I am sure that I will put these to use on my Butterfly Garden quilt.


• Next she sent me a vintage bird kitchen towel pattern. Aren't the birds too cute! I will have to make them red don't you think RED ?


• Lastly, she sent me some Borland's of Ireland Chocolate Cookies. This is supposed to be another clue to her identity...I'm not sure who she is yet but the cookies were yummy! Any suggestions RED ?

My angel must also love scrapbooking and stamping because all of the tags loook handmade! Am I right? I guess that I have to wait and see!

Well I know that my Stitchers' Angel is out there watching over me, and so is RED, and so is my gal pal at the Quilt Nook!

Until Next Time....Happy Quilting!

PS-Check back again for more on my quilting progress! HUGS to all!

My Stitcher's Angel is the BEST!

Ok, I know that I am supposed to be blogging about our great adventure, but I need to take a moment to let all of you know that MY Stitcher's Angel is the Best!

Here is why she is the BEST! This afternoon I was coming down my stairs and I heard "knock, knock, knock". Well who could it be but my friend the postman leaving me a package.

As I ran back inside screaming with excitement, I thought wait, get the camera and take a picture! (That is what RED would do!) Back up the stairs I went, only to be disappointed because my camera battery was DEAD! Impossible, that never happens!

So, I put my lovely package on the counter and started making dinner! Bad move because the box kept calling me! It kept saying "Someone special made me! Open me now!"

OHHHHHH.....that darn battery!

Finally enough battery juice to take a picture!

WOW! WOW! WOW! Look at this cute paint bucket! The outer decorations are similar to a purchase that I made! It looks like my favorite Shangi-La fabric by 3 Sisters! When my husband saw it , he said "It looks like you! And the ribbons are a great touch!"

Now I can't stand it anymore..."What's inside?"......The KEY holds the answer!

I love this cute bird pincushion! Right now I am "into" little birds because my husband calls me "his Lovebird"! And it is BLUE! ..."How did she know that I have been looking at this pattern on the Bunny Hill website?"

Next is a stichery pattern from BAREROOTS! I almost fell on the floor because I almost purchased this same pattern at the Long Beach Quilt Show! I walked around with it in my hand and then I chose something else. Maybe a Little Angel whispered in my ear!

Next came a bag of my favorite candies...Skittles and Smarties! ..."How did she know that these are my favorites?"

I am so lucky to have an angel watching over me! I know that she is out there and has somehow figured out all of my favorite things! So, I want MY angel to know that she has made me feel so SPECIAL! Thank you for my gifts! They are more than I could have asked for!

Sleep tight my angel! Someone is also watching over you!

Until Next Time.....Happy Quilting
