Traded, Bought, and Gifted: Mail from March and April

Mail from March and April
Originally uploaded by Green Kitchen.

An amazing piece of fabric from Sue at Comfrey Green--I mentioned that I liked this fabric and Sue generously offered to give me some, which I wasn't expecting, but am so incredibly excited about. My photo doesn't show it in all its greatness. There's an alligator, lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, tiger, and another cat creature. The graphics are sooooo cool, the colors are just right, and the weight of the fabric is excellent. Must not put this away, must turn into pillow so that I can live with it daily. Sue is a generous crafter with an awesome family. The embroidery and sewing her children are doing is inspirational.

Cool vintage cows from Abby from Abbytrysagain--Abby is lightening her load by putting some of her vintage bits and baubles in her Etsy shop, as well as her cool crafts.

Chicken swap with added value from Samantha from Plump Pudding--I'm later than I thought in my end of the chicken swap--I just realized that we started this transaction in February. Flu and pregancy are my excuses, but I still feel loads of guilt. At least I can thank Samantha publically for her thoughtful trade, which included, not only a chicken, but a pincushion and a tissue holder, too.

Bird print from Anna at Twelve 22--So cute and tiny, smaller than a postcard. The wrapping was so excellent that I let it sit for a week before opening it.

Mailorder #2 by Amy K from Kingpod--This issue has the cutest bonnet pattern that I'm itchin' to sew. I just got mine in the mail today. The question is, "Will my son wear a bonnet?"
