Traveling Stash and some wins





 











Wow! I have been so lucky lately...... I won another Traveling Stash and a few other goodies, like this pretty red fabric and the Riley Blake Bake Sale. I also won this sweet pincushion and awesome wine charm.
 
 
Just look at what came in my Traveling Stash this time!

 
Lots of wonderful fabric including a large stack of charm squares, some koala and kangaroo fabric and some hearts ready to be ironed on and appliqued. There are also a couple quilt patterns and several embroidery patterns, some purse handles, a 3 inch Kanzashi flower maker and a 5 inch hexi ruler ! (I wish this had come before I bought a hexi ruler for the hexi hop!)  I decided to keep the Kanzashi flower maker, a quilt pattern and a couple pieces of fabric:


 
 
 I added into the box a couple quilt patterns and some fabric:

Fabric and other item Guidelines

Important Things to Remember
  • Please ensure that items in the box are quality. If items in the box are poor quality they should be removed. Items that are being removed can be offered for optional inclusion to the next recipient. Poor quality items can be discarded but this should be done with digression.
  • Only include items that you would be proud to own -- this is not a dumping ground for outdated or worn items
