This morning I bemoaned having to make a trip to the “far away” post office because there was a package that needed signing for.
You should have seen me when the postal guy asked me: “Well, are you going to share?!?”
And I thought…SHARE? WHAT?!?
The customs form said the box containted “chocolates and biscuits” All the way from AUSTRALIA!!
I could hardly wait to get the box home and get into it ---
I tore into it with reckless amusement and spilled the contents out onto the dining room table, aka Shipping Station:
Holy Tim Tams!!
Thank you thank you thank you goes to Vonnie who was so kind to think of us! We’ll have fun parceling these out this weekend at the cabin. Jason is bringing up his new girl friend ((This is serious stuff if he actually wants to introduce us to someone special!)) and we will have a great weekend.
A couple other goodies showed up with no message at all and I’m not sure WHY they came to my door, but we are going to share the love:
NOTE: THIS DRAWING ENDED June 1, 2014! Congrats to our lucky winners!
NOTE: THIS DRAWING ENDED June 1, 2014! Congrats to our lucky winners!
Two copies of the latest McCall’s Quilting!
Featuring my friend John Kubiniec’s pattern, Independence!
((He’s got the scrappy neutrals thing going on, y’all!))
There are loads of great quilts included for summer ---and we are going to draw for two lucky winners!

Would love to win. Always looking for ideas!
I like the magazine, but I'm really interested in your chocolate! :-)
Enter my name in your drawing please. I am sewing away on your talkin' turkey pattern this morning.
Looks like a good magazine. Glad you are having a relaxing weekend and recharging for the many events ahead. Dianne
your inspiration is turning me into a scrap quilter and loving it !
I like that Independence pattern. I have lots of scrappy colors that would work for that. Have a fun weekend.
Looks like a great reason to have to schlep all the way over to the main Post Office! ;)
The magazine looks like it has some fun projects. Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks for the giveaway! And that sure was a nice prize pack you received from Australia! Made me smile when I saw TimTam (never heard of them) because my daughter lives on a street by that name! So if I win the magazine, maybe you can throw in an empty TimTam wrapper. My daughter would get a kick out of me giving it to her :)
I'll be visiting Elkin in two weeks from Perth, Western Australia. I would love to win...and save you the postage!
WOW! The giveaways keep on coming and I will keep on entering.
Thanks for your generosity, Bonnie!

Its a pity they dont make gluten free Tim Tams Bonnie, but I am sure your family will let you know how great these Aussie staples are! Thanks for sharing the love, I have started making quilts for our returned service personnel, so would love to make a green and gold version of this quilt. Happy quilting, Sue SA.

Love that patriotic version!
That looks like it would make a Great Quilts of Valor Quilt. I have been working on collecting more reds and neutrals for some, because I have lots of blues already. A quilt isn't a quilt unless it is Very Scrappy !!!!
Woo Hoo! Love Quilting Magazines and I can hardly wait for Quilt-Cam! We're headed out on vacation on Tuesday too - so Monday night will be my last chance to move my projects ahead! Thanks for motivating me to get up there at night
PS - I received my QuiltMaker Magazine. Congrats Cover Girl! LOVE LOVE LOVE the new quilt. I have to finish my Tulip Fields first....but it's on the MUST START list. It's in good company with Orca Bay and Carolina Christmas!
this would be the first time in my life I could read that magazine! I can't buy one in the Netherlands.....
Great mag. I'd love to win it because I don't currently have any subscriptions. Looking forward to quilt cam.
Your generosity is topped only by your boundless energy. Thanks for all you do for us.

John's quilt would look lovely with Civil War prints :) Enjoy the goodies! Love me some tim tams :)
Bonnie -- I think you are Superwoman! How do you do all of the things you do? You travel so much, you have 2 houses to keep up, you write articles for magazines ... then you have a hubby, kids and other things I can't know of! Can't imagine how you do it! Do you ever sleep? Nice batch of goodies from AU! Love scrappy quilts as much as you do! I recently acquired a 'new' treadle -- a Singer that has all of the accessories, manual, bobbins and so much more! So excited to get her cleaned up and humming! Add me to the list of happy wannabee winners!
I live in Oregon, so I am one of the lucky ones who get to meet you at the NW Quilters meeting in Portland, Oregon on Monday! Yahoo!
