MAIL WITH GOODIES

  
Hello to all and wish you a nice sunny Sunday , one day I had been reading LeeAnn's blog Nifty Quilts  she expressed her need of some vintage fabrics for a quilt that she wished to make ,and since we had corresponded previously about a fabric swap I thought about the bag of vintage fabrics that I had scored on e-bay over 8 years ago and had put aside for a vintage quilt one of theses days ,which I haven't gotten around to starting and there were plenty of each pattern leftover for myself ,so I picked out some and sent them to her  and just last week I go these wonderful goodies from LeeAnn . They are so pretty and colorful just what I like , thank you LeeAnn. 
And another day a while back I was visiting sheila at  Sheila's quilt world and she had made fabric post cards and had left a comment that I really am not to familiar with them and that I hadn't seen one,  and Sheila wrote to me and told me she was going to make one and send it ..... and here it is . 
 I wrote to Sheila and told her how beautiful it is the stitched tulips are so pretty thank you so much Sheila  .    I have it placed above an old photo of myself and my siblings at the beach it looks so pretty there and I look over and glance at it while at the computer which is right next to that wall .  It is amazing how generous quilters are , but I haven't sent Sheila anything back yet  ,I don't have the proper materials for a postcard Sheila had told me the name ,but I can't remember it now.   I might make something else,but I now like postcards and plan on finding the material so I can make in the future and maybe trade also.  I know it isn't Sunday ,but I started the post on Sunday and was to lazy to change it hahaha !!!! ,but I wish you all a wonderful quilty crafty day.
