I just received a lovely and totally surprising gift in the mail. I see that it is from my Aunt Pam in Ohio. Several days ago she said she sent something to me in the mail and that it wasn't much - just a little something - but that she saw it and thought of me. I opened the package and to my complete surprise I pulled out a huge piece of 1800's reproduction fabric. It's white and blue stripes, just like the old Civil War type pillowcases. I absolutely adore this with ALL my heart. I was flabbergasted really. I will have to come up with something spectacular for this fabric ~ it's just so unique and special to me. My aunt's note to me, "Julie, I thought you might enjoy this! Love, Aunt Pam". Well, I more than enjoy this. I positively love this piece! Thank, thank, thank you for this fabric!

...here is my progress on Sarah's ABC Pincushion by Blackbird Designs that I began last night. I am really loving how the silk coordinates with the Cafe Kona linen. It's getting to be very pretty when it's done. By Friday morning, I'll be on a plane heading for Florida ~ I am counting down the days! WooHoo!!!

How very sweet and thoughtful of your Aunt! I also love those repro fabrics, and stripes are simply wonderful no matter what. :D Can't wait to see what you come up with! And your stitching is lovely - great colors!
The fabric looks wonderful, such a lovely surprise from your aunt.
I really like your pincushion progress, which color do you use?
