Mail Call ;)))
From Lizzy
@
"Gone To The Beach"

OOOHHH...
The aroma of
Lavender
is amazing!

Two beautiful heart
sachets..
in that lovely sea blue batik
πŸ’œπŸ’œ

What a pretty package...
:)))
Her little enclosure has a 
tiny shell and piece of sea glassπŸ’—
Now....
I will have to find
a pretty basket,
and 
add my shells 
and 
my sea glass
with the hearts...
Thank you, 
Lizzy!!
Aren't they just gorgeous???

And look
πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ 
she enclosed 
a little
early birthday bonus:

An applique with cross stitch
pattern...

I just love it...

Thank you, sweet friend...

Here is my progress on
my little applique quilt.

I worked on the little bird-
cherry-thief last night...;))
(with its fantasy wing)
What fun!!

Here is Jan Patek's 
booklet  [above]
where I found
this cute pattern.
[I just love her stuff]

I decided that since my stash
 in no way has fabrics
like hers,
I would try using what I
had on hand...

I am truly enjoying this slow,
 meticulous stitching..
(Thanks Lizzy for your
applique advice:
"..take small, little bites
when you applique.")

**********************
Tonight's dinner 
will be  Tom's Chili,
sour cream topping
and "fritos" for dipping--
with a side tossed salad...

I hope your weekend is a good one
Hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse
(thankful-euse)
