Surprised....

..that is just the first name...
I have been fooled by a much more sneaky person than myself.. and I who thought I was sneaky with my giveaway...lol..

Oh ..this started quite a while ago...
with me mailing and admiring a pattern  she had sewn...
and oh yes she said.. that she happily would send me the pattern when she was finished with it...

So I waited... :o)
and then one day ...she had some items for sale on her blog...
and I loved especially one fabric range she had for sale...
"Anticipation" by Sandy Gervais...
but ohh... it would cost a a large sum of money just to send...
So I had to let it go...
And then she said...
I have a better idea.. and you wont be disappointed...

Ok I said... :o)
And ..

SURPRISE!!!!!

this came....
from who...
oh yes the one and only
Darlene


She had some charms to send me...

Oh Happy Days...:o)
Oh.. they might be used for a Schnibble some month..:o)

And so this grand surprise...

She gave away her quilt...
with the hens I had  admired...
(no pattern.. the QUILT!!!! )
HUH !!!
Oh my goodness.. this is so wonderful....and
I really dont know what to say...
Im so touched...
 with all my heart..I want say
 thank you Darlene 
for your wonderful gift!!!
You sure surprised me!!! :o)
But hey ...there was something more...

What a day and what a boost I got...
I actually sewed with a smile...and finished up some gifts ...
and yesterday they went  in the mail... :o)

And today I got a package too in the mail...
and Im still patting this one...
I havent decided if I shall open or save for Christmas...

Any way... I have promised not to show anyway...
so You just have to wait and see after Christmas...
but I can look..lol...
Hope that is ok..Pat...;o)
