Mel's Own Place

I got presents today! This WONDERFUL gift is from my Secret Sister from my Fab Lovers Swap group. We were assigned a quilter for 3 months and have to send something by the 15th of the month, this was our first month. We have a database where we list our likes and dislikes etc. I have to say that my 'sister' was spot on with her selections for me!! All I know so far is that she is from Tennessee and has GREAT taste in colors! THANK YOU!! This is from the "Bottle Swap" from my Quilting on A Budget group. Again, were assigned partners and were given likes and dislikes. The cool thing about this swap is that we couldn't buy ANYTHING! It all had to come from our existing stash or sewing space! My favs of this package include the little ghostie fabric, the candy wrapped tape measuring tape, the great smelling lotion, the water soluble pen and the quilt sleeve. There is a seam ripper for which I'm grateful, since there is never enough of those around! THANKS SO MUCH MARY!! My son's favorite items were the picture frame and scissor holder. Right a way he said "We have to get flowers to put in here!" I guess he thought it looked like a vase. Well, we quickly set to work on making paper flowers and hours later had a nice bouquet to put in the scissor holder!
