So I stopped at the post office yesterday to check my mailbox..
And to my surprise, there was a package for little ole' me.. all the way from Australia!!
Maria, from Life on the Block made me this beautiful Sewing Organizer.
The fabric couldn't be more perfect! And the freemotion quilting on here.. amazing job! (I actually have some of this fabric in my stash.. I had plans to make a pin cushion of some kind with it.
When it's open.. there are 4 zipper pouches.. and she filled them with goodies for me.
This retractable measuring tape - perfect since I've always wanted one, but never bought one.
And this little scissors to keep next to my maching for snipping threads. The timing of this couldn't have been better either - because I was just complaining about my little scissor last weekend. My husband oiled them for me but they still needed to be replaced!
She also added these adorable buttons and lace.
And these vintage quilt labels! I love it all!!
The little matching fabric tag Maria added to the scissor was love at first sight! What a great little idea. I'm so stealing this idea Maria!
Thank you so much!
How about you.. Have you received your packages? Tell us about them.. or leave a link in the comments - I'd love to check them out.
