A Surprise in the Mail!

Guess what I had in the mail yesterday?  Yes!  A surprise package from Mrs. Claus...


....5" squares of reproduction fabrics from her stash AND a sprig of lavender!  My favorite...

I just had to make up some new blocks out of new-to-me fabrics... love those dark mourning prints...


...and now, I have 24 blocks to add to the ever-growing pile o' hourglass blocks... made with fabrics from a good friend!

Thanks so much, Debbie!  You really brightened my day...

    And that's what makes a scrappyquilt so special. All those little pieces of fabric with their own little stories.
