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.
