Happy Birthday to me!
Inside the mystery gift. What are the elastic loops for?
Update (July 17/10): I just heard from Kathy, "Yes, the Sweetwater wallet is a needle case. The elastic loops are for holding thread spools. An on-the-go carrier for thread and needle." Mystery solved!
Of course, I had to make sure the envelope was full (I was just being efficient!), so I ordered some great Kona colours, a little of Denyse Schmidt's Hope Valley, a Single Girl quilt pattern, and a charm pack of Kona brights for Sophie to play with. Kathy's service, packaging and attention to detail was impeccable and I know I'll be shopping Pink Chalk Fabrics again! (she just got in Robert Kaufman's Pure Organic collection of 15 organic cotton solids!) Are you a fan of Kona cottons? Do you have your own colour card?
Ooh, thanks for letting me know Pink Chalk has the organics as well. I need to order some of those for a project.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so envious of that colour card...as you know, I could really use one right now with my search for the perfect pink for my HR Mendocino print. And I love Kathy's service too...and it arrives pretty quickly to Canada.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Pink Chalk tip!
ReplyDeleteThat little giftie might be a crochet hook carrier?
Ooo...I like the colour card :) pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Happy Belated Birthday :) Whatever the original intention for that wallet was, it's a lovely gesture.
ReplyDeleteI've got a Kona card too, but from Jackie at Canton Village Quiltworks (Pink Chalk was out)...isn't it awesome - I think we're all on that geek train! That was sure lovely for Kathy to include a gift (she provides such excellent service...did you know she irons the fabric before folding to mail it??). I think it is a wallet and the elastic straps are meant to hold your chequebook in there.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Kathy. She has some of the best customer service around. Yes, I have the color card and so love to open it up. Kona cottons are one of my favorites right now. Using the color card to dream up new designs...
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get a little present in the mail.
I admire that you can quilt - I can't sew a thing! Your wedding day looks just wonderful by the way. Hope to meet you this summer.
ReplyDeleteI have a kona card and love it.... Shopped at pink chalk and Kathy is super! Have a growing stash of konas...a large growing stash!
ReplyDeleteI just heard from Kathy at Pink Chalk and she confirmed that my gift was a needle wallet. Mystery solved!
ReplyDeletedid you have customs when you ordered from Pink chalk? I'm in Canada too and i need/want a color card... we'll just say need :) I'd love to know what your experience was like.
ReplyDeleteHi Leanne!
ReplyDeleteI don't have your email, so I'll reply here. Go ahead and order your Kona color card! I didn't have to pay customs and the shipping charge for my large order was $11.95 US.
oh hello! i just did a search for kona color card and your blog came up - how lovely! thanks for the tip and hope you're having a wonderful time with your new little one ^_^
