Judy Collins has always been one of my favorite singers. I love her song, "Who Knows Where The Time Goes." It has a beautiful haunting melody. Unfortunately, hearing the song never motivates me to get going and conquer my procrastination. I find that if I miss a week of blogging it turns into a month. It is so easy to get out of the habit.
I was motivated to post today after opening my mail. I received a lovely package from the UK sent by Elaine at A Little Bit of Heaven as part of the St.Patrick's Day Blog Hop and Giveaway.
It was wrapped so beautifully, that I took pictures as I unwrapped it. This was the outer box.
Now it is opened,
These were the lovely goodies inside: an embroidery pattern with some applique, ribbons, and gorgeous buttons.
After I took the pictures, I realized that I have been the recipient of many lovely items in the last few months and have not posted them yet. I'll be playing catch-up for the rest of the week posting some of items, but for now, I would like to give away something of my own.
There has been a lot of excitement about scrap quilting this year. I have been doing my best to keep up with the various quilt a longs with only minor success. One of the patterns that has caught my eye is the Fading Charms Quilt by Deanna at Blue Wedding Dress. I am using 2.5 inch charms and have finished piecing the middle. Now I am starting to put together the side rows.
I had originally intended to use 2 inch charms, but decided that larger squares would work better for my needs. If you would like a head start on making a postage stamp style quilt, I would be happy to send you a pack of 100 two inch charms. Since this is a giveaway and not a swap, any novelty charms in the pack are not fussy cut. I have 5 packs to share (there are no repeats in the 100 charm packs.
They are wrapped in plastic and ready to be mailed. Please leave a comment. I will close the comments on on Friday, April 13th. No hoops to jump through; just let me know if you want them. I am willing to mail internationally.

I am really pleased that it arrived safely. I love to package things beautifully as I think that is part of the gift experience and love knowing that it is appreciated. Thank you for your lovely post and enjoy the goodies :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I would enjoy some. More fabric choices is a pleasure. Thanks for featuring my quilt. I am about ready to make another 100-patch and it is based on 2" squares. That is where these would go.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to get mail like that.....lovely for you. I would love to win one of your goodies...thank you
ReplyDeleteEven though I have a lot of 2" squares - I would love to mix yours in with mine - right now I am working on a postage stamp with that size!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful package you received!! Very nice. Are you seriously giving away all those 2 inch charms??? Goodness me or my, I would love to win some of those :)
ReplyDeleteI loved to start the postage stamp quilt. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteWhile I will enjoy watching your progress, don't include me. Well, you can include me as I have a recipient in mind if you draw my name :)
ReplyDeleteI totally get your time problem and I'm having the same problem. Does spring have something to do with it, I wonder? Perhaps getting a bunch of 2" squares would spur me on. Here's hoping...
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. I would love to win a pack of these charms. Thanks for the chance.
