I feel so privileged to have been part of the "It's A Sister Thing - 2014"! Michelle from
Quilts From My Crayon Box was our wonderful hostess with the moistest!!
I received the package from my 'sister' today, and WOW, wow, wowwie!! I got so many goodies, and they were all so personal to me. Thank you Grace from
http://citymousequilter.blogspot.com. I appreciate all the love and thought that went into this special package.
Look at this haul! I was sooooo excited when I opened the package.
This darling little 16x21 in. quilt is hand quilted! It is absolutely beautiful. It even has orange binding.
Look at these Maine lobsters. Eeeehh!!
OK, so I couldn't even wait until after lunch to have a bite of this candy. It's dark chocolate....my favorite!
Maine honey and a recipe to boot!
Yeah, the most delicious turquoise and navy fabric...and thread! Now, what special project will I make with this? I already know!
Look where I put that wonderful little quilt. It is across my filing cabinet in my sewing room! Now I don't have to make something for up there. I'm thrilled!
Thank you Grace! I really am excited about all the possibilities with all these great goodies. I have plans for all the fabric already...yay! I'll be following you to see what you are up to.

vicki, so happy you received the package and all the little goodies included. maine is more than harsh winters and lobster....my ancestors raked blueberries since their arrival in the 1600s...we tried the scone recipe and they are delish! enjoy all...
What lovely things Grace sent you!!! You deserve to receive lovely things for all the lovely things that you make and share. xx
oh and the fabric is from a salvage place here in maine called marden's...they sell luscious fabrics for dirt cheap...name brands and all, as you can see. one store is 5 min from where i life....awful temptation i tell ya! it took me a while of spying around but i did find several in this fabric line....the navy/aqua is my fave combo too!
WOW so any nice and beautiful things.
Yippee! I'm so glad that you got such a lovely box of goodies! That quilt is very special and I know it will bring lots of joy to you. :)
Wow oh Wowee!! Aren't you a lucky gal. Such a gorgeous parcel of goodies. Hope you have saved a morsel of chocolate for your Aussie friend!!
What a delightful package of goodies! And not just any thread-Aurifil! Enjoy all of this- you deserve it!
I just came from Grace's blog. She is such a nice person. I had the privilege to meet her last year. What a thoughtful package she put together.
Beautiful little quilt!
I love Dark Chocolate, too--and with sea salt! Yummm!
So many delightful treasures! : )

What fabulous gifts! Love that hand quilted mini. And all those tasty goodies! Not to mention.... Fabric!!!
Love it and you are lucky that I don't live close to you or you just might find that lobster fabric disappears some day. LOL
oh fun! enjoy!
WOW is right! I LOVE the little mini quilt and it is so beautifully quilted. I can't wait to see what you make with those great fabrics.
Very nice goodies and that lobster fabric is irresistibly cute!
How lovely that your sweet swap sister took time to hand quilt!
The other thing that caught my idea was your antique sewing basket. I have one of my grandmother's baskets that was very similar--although in the intervening 80 to 100 year, mine has changed quite a bit. What a treasure that it looks like yours is complete!
