Birthday FQs!

1:04 AM | Posted by Mel

And lots of {extras}!

The FQs are from the fabulous ladies in my yahoo group, Quilt N' Friends. Last December I signed up to be in a birthday swap. Those who signed up listed what their favorite fabric styles were and we were supposed to accommodate as closely as possible. Well, since that was a year ago I had forgotten that this great surprise was coming my way!

Some quilters included personal birthday cards, there's also a butterfly appliqué, Halloween charms, a storage pouch and two ladies gave 1/2 yards instead of FQs. Virgina who was the birthday hostess included a vintage cook book and a pin cushion. Nice, nice ladies!

{tHanK yOu} all soooo much!
