I had met Mary-Catherine at Sewing Summit last year, and she is seriously an awesome person. I was very excited to see her name on the return label as I love basically everything she makes! This package was no exception!
I had suggested a mini quilt in my preferences, and received this beautiful Arkansas Traveler mini. The colors match perfectly with our home! Here it is on the wall in the kitchen. I think it may have to stay in this room.
Mary-Catherine sent along some fun extras as well, I don't think I've ever received a package that felt more "me". A journal with great typography on the front, shiny pink scissors in a blue leather case, some rainbow perle cottons along with some green ones, pretty fabric, mints, and a little bunny pin! I love it all so much, right down to the ombre ribbon she had wrapped around the package!
If you're interested in swaps, there are tons of fun ones to join on flickr. I have had really great luck in swaps and have honestly loved everything I've ever received! I do think swaps between friends are the best kind though, and I really loved swapping with my do.Good Stitches friends! Thank you so much Mary-Catherine for the beautiful package!
Ok I must know more about the adorable scissors and esp the rainbow perle cotton. Do you know the brands?
