I wanted to share my amazing mail week with you!
Carrie was kind enough to mail the prize I won in last months LePetite parade on
Sinta's blog. Along with a fat quarter bundle of her fabric line Fresh Palette, she sent a Layer Cake of Charlevoix and an amazing pincushion! Wow! How generous! The Fresh Palette bundle is beautiful! Look at those fresh clean colors, ready for Spring!
AnnieO suggested it may be hard to cut it and she was right.....it's lovely the way it is. But maybe when the new Schnibbles patterns come out, I might be willing to use Fresh Palette! Charlevoix is not a line I have see in my LQS. I love all the cherries. The pincushion has really small piecing...beautiful! Is it too embarrassing to mention that I have never had a pincushion before? This is my first! Thanks Carrie!!

A few days later I received these two flying geese rulers I had ordered from
Open Gate Quilts. I'm working on the LePetite project Sweet Spot and
Carrie suggests using one of these rulers for the flying geese units in one of the borders.
Sherri blogs about the ruler in one of her recent posts too. I can't wait to give it a try!

I just can't get the Mail Song from Blue's Clues out of my head now! It's replaced the catchy Schoolhouse Rock Preamble song that has been there all week, while my son memorizes it for Social Studies. "We the People....," there it goes again!

What wonderful, fun mail!
Carrie is a wonderful person with a great sense of humor!! Glad you won her package of goodies. The rulers work wonders on flying geese~~enjoy.
Awesome! Now that's the kind of mail to receive. :)
Congratulations on your win! Pretty, pretty, pretty.
Let me know what you think of the Fit to be Geese rulers, I've been thinking of buying them also.
I love your kind of mail!
Great Mail! Love all your goodies! Enjoy!
That is the best kind of mail to get! Have fun with it all!
Congratulations! I love the Fresh Palette fabric. You're going to have so much fun! I saw the rulers on Sherri's blog, and noticed that her flying geese were absolutely perfect!
What a nice prize!
Squishy mail is the BEST kind of mail for a quilter! Congrats on your fantastic win!
I am so glad I don't know the Mail Song from Blue's Clues because I am sooo suggestible to songs!
Wow great mail, beautiful fabrics and useful tools.
That's the mail you should get more often.
Oh Michelle, I have got to get me some of that Charlevois! Congrats on all your blessings and let us know how you like those rulers!
I'm glad the goodies arrived and that you're enjoying them... but your FIRST pincushion?!?
Yikes! All of a sudden I feel like the Imelda Marcos of pincushions! Okay, maybe I don't have THAT many. :)
I hope you love the rulers. As you already know, they are my favorites. It takes a couple of geese to get it set in your mind where to line things up but once you've trimmed up a few sets of geese, you'll be a pro! Have fun!
Lucky you, to get a layer cake of Charlevoix fabric! I love Minick and Simpson (the designers) and this is my favorite line from them... nice prize!
