Along with a nice note and some beautiful stamps, and some seeds for Knobby Green Pumpkins (don't they sound interesting!), she sent this fabric. The strip fabric is old time feed sack replicas.
And this border? "Hog wash!" Love it.
So what will I do with this fabric? (Gosh, I dunno. How 'bout some . . . (wait for it) . . . potholders!) Those feed sack reprints could hardly be more fitting for potholders. I promise to take pictures when they're done. (There may be a give-a-way involved!)
Thanks again for my surprise package, Sweet Lady Raiser of Sheep and Goats!
How adorable!! What a wonderful friend! Those prints are very hard to find in our neck of the woods. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteKatidids - I certainly was pleased to get them!
DeleteHow thoughtful of her! That fabric is awesome!!! I need to go see if my fabric store has something like it, too cute ☺
ReplyDeleteKelly - If you find something like that, grab it 'cause they tend to make ones like that only once . . . and then they're gone.
DeleteWhat a great package! Potholders?? Giveaway?? Be still my heart....
ReplyDeleteSusan - Do you know how much I want to drop everything I have to do today and go work on those potholders? Can't. Sigh.
DeleteI know they will be potholders much faster at your house than mine. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteTombstone Livestock - I'm so tickled to have the fabric to play with!!
DeleteKristina - Getting a surprise package in the mail is ALWAYS fun!
ReplyDeleteThose are fun. You could make aprons with some of them too.
ReplyDeleteSparkless - Good idea! Unfortunately, by the time I saw your comment I was well into the potholders making. Wish I had more of the fabric 'cause it really would make cute aprons.
DeleteI have this fabric. Didn't know what to make. Pot holders are a great idea. What a great surprise package.
ReplyDeleteMichelle - Aha! I foresee some new potholders in your house!
DeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteStephanie - Me, too!
DeleteThat is perfect for potholders :)
ReplyDeleteJen - Yep, that's what I knew when I first saw the fabric.
DeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteThe Weekend Homesteader - I think the potholders are gonna be a nice addition to a kitchen.
DeleteToo cute! I LOVE all of them! What a nice friend you have there. Isn't it such fun to receive a surprise package in the mail?! Can hardly wait to see your creativity at work in new potholders.
ReplyDeleteLisa - I have the potholders almost done. But a busy, busy week shaping up here so I'll have to plan my time well to get them finished. (I just don't know why I can't play in my quilt room all day, every day!)
DeleteHow thoughtful, those are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteErin - Thoughtful and gorgeous . . . and a complete surprise!
