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!

I will probably not win this, but I will be buying the book for the John's pattern.

Even though I have the mag, I have two special friends I would love to share this issue with.
I have only been a "scrapaholic" for about 6 months, since solving the mystery of the Celtic Solstice - yeah, I made one - and the top is finished - and while I was sewing on it, I was also furiously cutting my bits and pieces of fabrics into strips, squares and rectangles. Am really hooked on scrappy now. And if I don't win, send me a bar of that Aussie chocolate as a consolation prize. lol
Welcome back home! It is special when your son wants you to meet that "special someone. Next there will be "wedding bells" and then a grandchild. Get ready! Thanks for all you do and sharing the wealth. BTW, the quilt would make a good QOV. Can't wait for quilt cam!
I love , love your quilts have made several of your quilts have three of your books, planning to get more soon. Would love to win this! Thank you for the opportunity.
So what exactly is a Tim Tam....now I'm curious.
My son recently brought a girl friend for us to meet...it was a first, must be something in the air.
just in case: m3reyna at gmail dot com
wonderful quilt ideas :)
have a great weekend and thanks for the give away
Love the chance to win! Love all of your quilts!

Hi Bonnie, I told someone in January that I was going to challenge myself this year, and I did just that with the Celtic Solstice. The beauty of it was kept me going...I am now sewing all pieces into blocks and I can almost see it finished. Thank you so much for all you do for the world of quilting and quilters alike.
A great magazine that I would love to win.
