Mail Call :-) and Friday the 13th :-(

Oh My!  Look at this absolutely amazing basket block that I got from Vickie!

As usual, I had a hard time capturing the colors, but believe me when I say it is beautiful, and exactly what I was hoping for!  Thanks so much Vickie.

I also received this 1/4 yard piece of fabric in the mail.  You have no idea how excited I was with this.
As you may recall, I decided to add an additional border to my Christmas quilt, and was unable to locate any of the fabric locally.  So off to the sewing room I went, anxious to finish the border.

Happy Friday the 13th to me:

Guess what I did the rest of the afternoon!

Contentedly frogging.......Sunny

  3. That is a great swap block! Lucky you!! I love the buttons on it, so cute. Also happy for you that you found the fabric you needed to finish your quilt top. :o) Contentment is such a powerful word. Thanks for choosing it, and mentioning it in each post. It's good to be reminded to be content. xo
