I need to say thank you…first, thank you to those who swapped or sent pieces of Flea Market Fancy from your stash for my Flea Market Fancy hexagon project. I’m so grateful…fabric arrived from the U.S. and Canada. One piece arrived in an envelope with no return address…so thank you so much. I never thought I’d be able to collect this many hexagons. Unbelievably, I’m now only missing four pieces–the small posies on orange, the other green bubble dots, the small seeds on grey, and the blue medallions. I’m definitely going to figure out my arrangement, choose a background fabric and frame this project when I’m finished.
Another big thanks to Thelma…for enabling me to finished my Shangri La jelly roll sampler quilt along quilt. I have a “rule” that when I join a quilt-along I have to use fabrics from my stash ( except for borders, backing, and binding). When I decided to use this Shangri La jelly roll I was sure I knew of a quilt shop where I could find border and binding pieces…of course when I went to pick some up the fabric had all sold. Then just a few days later I saw a Shangri-La quilt on Thelma’s blog–she went back to the shop, picked up border and binding fabrics and sent them right away. Quilter’s are an amazing group…thank you Thelma!
And then, yesterday, I had another surprise in the mail…a beautiful scissor fob made and sent by Darlene. I had seen some of these on her blog but had no idea I would be a recipient…thank you so much Darlene! It’s gorgeous–wish I could have gotten a better picture.
I’m definitely going to be working on some “thank you” gifts in the near future!

Mary Lou Casada says
The hexies are just as sweet as they can be, aren't they!? And I love the Shangri-La quilt — I have some of that fabric stuck back for a particular quilt; hope I have enough, for I'm sure it's really getting scarce!
Isn't it great to have quilting friends!
Blessings,
Mary Lou

You know, quilters just renew my faith in humanity. I cannot believe all the nice things they do for other people, with no other motivation than to do something nice. Love it.

Sherri, I love the colors in your hexi's, they are so bright and cheerful. They make me want to stop what I'm doing and get some made, LOL. Your Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt is just beautiful…and the adorable scissor fob from Darlene…your absolutely right, 'Quilters' are a very special group of people. Their kindness and generosity never ceases to amaze me! Hugs…

Your Shangri La jelly roll sampler quilt is gorgeous! And so are your hexies! I am finding out just how wonderful quilters can be just from reading everyones blogs. I don't belong to a guild so had never experienced the kinship that I am now through my and everyones blogs. Quilters rock!!!
