Last month I won a give away on Kate's Arty Bits blog. Kate has been re-organising, using or clearing out her scraps.
On Tuesday, I received a package in the mail. Because we have had rainy weather, it arrived a bit worse for wear - the envelope was started to disintegrate. Can you see what's peeking through?
The contents were all intact.
Two blocks like this:
and a pile of half square triangle units - many with Christmas themed fabric.
Debbie, from Esch House Quilts, asked recently about challenges. As those who read this blog regularly know, I have been playing with half square triangles. I am looking forward to the challenge of what to do with these.
Thanks so much, Kate; one woman's scraps are another woman's source material!
PS I "borrowed" the title of this post from Jennifer at Ellison Lane Quilts who also recently received "fun mail".

Can't wait to see what you do with these blocks! I love the quilter you are becoming!
ReplyDeleteOoh - that would be fun! Those reds will certainly work together to make a dramatic quilt.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the peek photo and that beautiful burgundy/red material, my thoughts instantly went to Christmas. Day-dreaming about my own Christmas Quilt. Nope, don't have space or skills to do it myself, but if I ever see it ....... its mine!!!
