Today was the day to send off the Travelling Stash Box! As it turns out, the winner,
Marianne, lives within driving distance of me, so we decided to meet in person for the hand off. Where did we meet, you ask? Why a quilt shop, of course. We spent an hour or so roaming around, looking at and touching fabric. If I'm not mistaken, a small collection came home with each of us. Then we went to lunch and sat and talked for a couple of hours. I'm so happy to have a new quilty friend! I stopped at JoAnn's before I left town, too, and picked up a few crafty items.
When I got home, there were THREE packages sitting at my front door. First of all was a big box filled with my OASS Spring swap goodies from
Vickie.

| See the little flower? It's a solar powered dancing flower. And it works! Brings a smile to my face. The pincushion is a welcome addition to my collection. |
 |
| How cute is this? |
There was also a box of goodies that I won from
Patty's giveaway. She started with a little pouch, then added a book, the cutest little tiny pincushion, some hexies and hexie papers, needle, buttons, etc.

| this pincushion is tiny! and oh so adorable. |
 |
| look who showed up while I was staging the photo. |
My third package was a partial order from 123 Stitch. They send me an email every week, and I spend way too much money with them.
 |
| Can't wait to stitch these. |
Well, I guess I better get off this computer and get some stitching done. Wait until you see what I did with these:
I hope to have pictures tomorrow. And did I mention that I found another little quilt that uses hexies? It's an addiction I tell you.
Counting my blessings....Sunny

Oh, Sunny, I can't wait to see what you've done with those. Those hexies right there inspired me to try hexies! I love the sunflower/black-eyed susan look of them! Sounds like you've had a great day and what fun packages! :)
