Gifts from a stranger...

Actually from several, I think. She mentioned *the ladies* so I think it was a group effort.
Anyways...here are some linen samples and either corduroy or chenille ones (the smaller ones)
The linen ones are bigger than 12" each
Here we have some of those panels that make stuffed toys and 1 fabric book,the book I will save in case Sarita has another baby :-)
fqs, 1/4 and 1/2 yards
a bonus surprise..how did they know!! 5 12.5" b/w squares to begin my b/w/r quilt! How cool is that!?
yardage...and I do mean yardage,,some of these stretch across my whole kitchen!!
teacher and Halloween vest and a cool tree skirt that has pockets for gifts, that is going to be made and given to Sarita as a Christmas gift this year. Now that she has moved out, she can use one :-)
squares, scraps, strips...I definitely see a strip quilt in my future..tons of strips in here,
an adorable 6 panel piece, all 6 panels are like these 2
other goodies...patterns, books, threads
Only once before in my life have I been given so much by folks who didn't know me. Well actually, the ladies I am talking about have always done so much for me. To them I want to say right now..thank you for always being there and being so caring and generous. You are my friends, my sisters, my family. In the words of the owner of the group *Have I told you lately that I love you*?
The women that have done this today...well it is unbelievable! The women on the group had at least read posts so *knew* me a bit, these women have never heard a word from me, but did this based on a newspaper article. Simply to help a fellow human being in some way, I imagine the fact I was a quilter helped too :-)
Anyhow...thank you to all the wonderful women who may read this! This world needs more folks like you all!
