Mail Call Monday - A Card in the Mail

Welcome to another edition of Mail Call Monday!!  This post is a bit behind schedule, as Mondays have a way of slipping by without my noticing.

Here's the (brief) story...

I recently got an email from Cherie (formerly of) The Quilted Jonquil blog:

Hi Joy, 

Cherie here.  I'm wondering if the address below is still good for you.  If not, may I have your current address, please?

Thanks!
Cherie 

My reply:

Certainly, Cherie! We moved 3 years ago. Our new address is (details removed).

Thanks for changing your records! I hope you are doing well. What have you been up to lately?

Happy quilting!

Joy

Not many days passed...

In the interim, the interaction had me wondering what Cherie might have put in the mail for me.  On the day that Cherie's surprise arrived, my suspicions proved to be true:

The backstory...

Cherie once posted a thrifted shirt haul and I volunteered to take a variety off her hands.  She graciously mailed them to me.  You can read about that HERE.  Before that, we did a swap (in 2019) which you can read about in THIS POST.

Here is the card that arrive...

And the sweet little bundle of fabrics that came with it:


What you can't see from the somewhat blurry photo is that the fabric on top is a sweet little anchor print.  LOVE it!!  I'm looking forward to using it in something special in the not-too-distant future.


Thank you for thinking of me after all this time, Cherie, and it was sweet of you to send along some friends to accompany the main attraction!

Until next time...
Color me SEW surprised!!


This post was formerly titled Cherie & Anchors Away, that got WAY too many spam comments!  I'm hoping the name change will deter further unwanted comments.
