RATZ Swap Magnets Received

Here's the package I received this last week containing the magnets made for me in the RATZ Swap.  They were made by Mary (FairlyMerry).  She knew I liked Kaffe Fassett!  She also included a cute little handmade card and a lovely button (sigh, I do love buttons).

I've already put them in my sewing/craft area!  That note is quite fitting as I just got a Singer 201k handcrank machine, which I adore.

Besides enjoying a fun package--I've also enjoyed eating some of these cherries!

These were Rainiers and the box before were Bings--all yummy!

I finished my Anda dress this weekend, so as soon as I get another person around for photos, there'll be a little fashion show.  :)

Texting While Sewing Contest

Amy over at During Quiet Time is running a quilt block contest with some really great prizes.  The contest is called Texting While Sewing and is about creating a quilt block using text fabrics.  A good excuse to go buy some if you happen to be low in your stash.  ;) 

So sort through your fabric, put on your creative thinking caps and whip up some cool blocks--you might just when yourself one of those fab prizes.
