The other package came all the way from the Netherlands, although I think it may have stopped off for a mini break on the way. I won a giveaway from Carin and now I am the happy owner of this beautiful pin cushion, and some much needed purple for my stash.
Little packages of fabric from near and far really are the happiest mail.......thank you both so much.
It's a big day today, as I'm taking Mr 16 to have his braces taken off. He's had them for over 2.5 years so he's more than a little bit excited. Then tomorrow we're heading to Sydney for a university and college open day for Mr 18. I doubt there will be any patchwork shop stops, but I might try some more knitting in the car (maybe i'll get my cowl finished in time to wear it before the weather warms up).
Happy stitching.

I love squishy mail too! And that bunny fabric is way too cute!
ReplyDeleteLove your fabrics, and the pincushion is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI am sure mr. 16 will be thrilled to get his braces off. My 16 yr old still need his on for a while, he's had them for 18 months now, and just got them adjusted again yesterday...
Good luck on your University open day!
Lots of beautiful fabric Susan! How nice to be getting braces off!! I can relate to that!!
ReplyDeletegotta love squishy mail!! lovely blues.
ReplyDeleteA blue clamshell quilt? sounds delicious.. I'd play along with that.
beautiful purples and pin cushion from Karin and elyte's parcel is wonderful too.
You've got some lovely additions to your stash there. I especially like the blue bunny fabric too. Sounds like busy exciting times at your house. Removing braces after such a long time would be up there with getting your P's I imagine.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love mail..bunny fabric very very cute. Have a safe trip.xx
ReplyDeleteA lot of exciting things happening in your house. Love your squishy mail too.

Such mails are always exciting! The fabrics are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your lovely win and beautiful fabric parcels. Clamshells sound perfect for the fabric :)
ReplyDeleteOhh love stash of fabric and a new pin cushion, lucky you! Hope the trip to Sydney goes well. Celebratory eats once the braces are off? Or can Mr16 eat most things with braces, I have teenage memories of certain things being banned...but don't remember what they were!?

ReplyDeleteHow lovely, the pincushion and wooden bunny are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm a sucker for blue & white and that collection of fabrics is to die for. Actually, they both are. Lucky gal.
ReplyDeleteThe squishies in the mail hold delightful gifts, Susan, a nice addition to your stash. I remember when YD got her braces off - exciting alright! and hope your trip to Sydney went well, and you were able to squeeze a little knitting in.
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting getting mail, is always a burst of excitement !! I am sure you will put something amazing together. Good luck with Uni and am sure the braces went well too.
ReplyDeleteSome gorgeous new fabrics there Susan and what a beautiful pincushion
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome. I love seeing what becomes of your fabrics. I hope Mr 16 is enjoying life without braces and the university visit was a success.
ReplyDeleteSquishy mail = good mail... Window mail = bad mail!
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely fabrics Susan, you'll make good use of them I'm sure. Wonderful things happening for your sons, good luck to them both!
Your parcels of fabric say Spring!! for you! Love the touch of daffofils - we won't be seeing any for the next 8 months...the leaves are beginning to show their autumn colors and the nights have touched on freezing this past week.
ReplyDeleteLovely mail xx
ReplyDeleteHope Mr 16 is enjoying life with no braces and you had a good trip to the Uni open day :)
What beautiful squishy mail at that! The blue fabric is gorgeous, as is the pincushion. Enjoy your busy time with your boys.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to get mail packages like these! Lovely colours of fabrics, and I adore the pincushion :)
