Happy Mail!

Birthday mail is always fun!
This year was no exception!


 my dear friend Susan sent me some handmade goodness...
   

a wonderful notebook with a patchwork star 


 how fantastic is this! This will come in handy for class notes, wedding planning - just any important notes I need to have handy.  And of course at my age, I need all the help I can get! heh heh!


 and she pieced the most adorable tiny hexies to make this sweet pincushion!


 Susan spoiled me terribly

besides soaking up all this birthday goodness...I have been doing some hand quilting and some english paper piecing...while my machine is in for a minor repair. Hopefully, more on the hand work tomorrow!
Happy Tuesday!
