Package

Quilt Diva Julie asked if I would like some Christmas fabrics she was moving out of her studio. She had no way of knowing I, only the day previous, talked with DH about making a Christmas quilt since I haven’t ever made one for us.  How serendipitous was that?!?!

Imagine my utter surprise and excitement when a very, very heavy box arrived yesterday and this is what I saw on top.


Not exactly what I’d call Christmas fabric but gold so it could be in a Christmas quilt, right? I unpacked the box to find…..


……there were wasn’t just Christmas fabric.  I’m still overwhelmed with Julie’s generosity (22 yards, but who’s counting), almost speechless 😉  My absolute favorite is the triangle fabric on top. It’s so very cool!


The sewing machine panels are fun and neutrals are always useful.  The black holly print has enough for a Christmas quilt back! And, AND, all the fabrics have been washed….. another gift because I wash all my fabrics before they hit the shelves. 

Thank you, Julie 💕. Ideas are percolating and the squirrels are running rampant.

‘Tis the Thanksgiving season, truly, Cherie

  4. Wow! That was a generous gift, but then again, I think most quilters are very generous and appreciative when we share our stashes!
