What is it about charm packs? I absolutely love them! A friend, whose husband comes to Toronto every quarter, and I send little gift bags back and forth to one another — thus earning her husband the nickname of the “fabric mule”! We did the gift bag pick-up and drop-off on Tuesday. In my gift bag I found these two wonderful charm packs! I am thrilled! I had a lot of fun putting her gift bag together this time as she’s in the midst of a move. Once I know she has received it, I’ll talk about what all was in it!
The second drunkard’s path basket block is well on the way to being finished. I’d like to finish the blocks within a week or so and work on the setting.
Spring is definitely here. Tuesday there were two robins singing on the roof garden and lots of sparrows and grackles. No squirrel sightings but Lester is now a very happy kitty with his entertainment having finally shown up.

Smudge doesn’t seem to have quite yet discovered the summer show is back. When he does, he’ll be sitting on the windowsill chattering at them.


Oooo I adore charm packs, if I see one I HAVE to buy it. I just love having all that variety without the big layout of money.Crispy

that’s funny! I’ve recently purchased several charm packs – one group I made a pinwheel quilt from and leftovers from that I made a coin quilt from – I’m not sure what to do with the rest of the one’s I bought – I’ve decided I don’t like them – I find them too limiting!I guess I’ll have to watch your blog more closely for inspiration about what to do with charm packs! 😉

Wonderful charm packs! When I was a kid we had a cat named Lester who looked JUST like your Lester. I really miss him!! He lived to be 12 years old and we got him when he was just 3 weeks old…we had to bottle feed him and his sister.
