A fabric present!

Look what Connie sent me in the mail! Connie and I have been corresponding for the past few months and she offered to send me some fabric when I started on my 365 Challenge quilt (which I am still plugging away at.) I felt bad making her send fabric all the way to Japan so I suggested we wait until I was in the States and I'd send her something from Japan too.

I sent a few pieces of fabric that is Japanese made (but not Japanese looking) and look at the gorgeous fabrics that Connie sent in return! I think she said that these are out of her stash! Such wonderful autumn fabrics! My mom, too was over joyed seeing them and kept saying "Ooh. Look at that leaf print! Oh, look at the vibrant yellow fabric!" They are all just beautiful and I really am partial to warm colors!

Connie also sent me a book since I've mentioned how hungry I am for English reading material. Thank you Connie!

I'll have to think of something fitting to make from these lovely new additions to my fabric collection!

the fabrics from Connie really are wonderfully warm colours. I'm sure they'll look great however you choose to use them. What kinds of things do you like to read? -- I have a very extensive library collection that I'm constantly weeding to make room for the new books I purchase. If I've got things that might interest you I'd be happy to send them on...

Tanya, I'm very pleased that you like the fabrics. It will make my heart happy that they will be put to use and not continue to lie ignored in a basket. Who knows how long it would have taken me to finaly find a use for them! With your loving hands, they will come to life! Many hugs, Connie W

What a lovely expression of friendship, they are very pretty indeed! I can't wait to see what they become.
