Tear Jerker!

You guys would not believe the presents that I have received over the last week.  I wish I got keep them, but it is more fun to pass them along anyways!  These new blocks are all incredible and are making this Heroes Quilt more than I ever imagined.

First of all, Angela aka WandaFish, took my breath away when I opened her package and found all this....
Not only did she send FOUR blocks, but she also sent gifts for the boys.  THANK YOU, ANGELA!!!


Either I'm living in a bubble (which is entirely possible) or these Magical Elves have not graced the shelves in the US yet.  OMG!!!!!!!!  Why have they not?  They are incredible.  Milk chocolate mixed with Pop Rocks.  What could be better? 


More chocolate and Reindeer Food for the boys to sprinkle outside on Christmas Eve.


...and four beautiful blocks.  I don't know which one is my favorite.  I love them all.





Tears!

Heather Givens of CrimsonTate sent this badass block.  Heather just opened up a new fabric shop in downtown Indy that is awesome.  Thanks, CrimsonTate!!!


Susannah, who I was told is just learning to sew, sent this incredible block.  Love the Katie Jump Rope fabric!!! Thanks, Susannah!  You could have fooled me that you are just learning to sew.



Now for the another tear jerker.  Elizabeth, who is in my Modern Quilt Guild, and who is teaching Susannah (above) how to sew, sent this great block along with an inspiring card.  Way to beat it, Elizabeth!!!



My boys love the blocks that Jess sent me.  I will give you one guess why!  Thank you, Jess! (Jess, I don't have a blog for you, but leave me a comment if you have one I can link up to!)



The final block of the week was from Deb of Trio Stitch Studio.  I just love the strip with the letters and all the Denyse Schmidt fabric.  Thanks, Deb!


Talk about the cutest card ever!  Check this baby out....



Lookie lookie...
I've sewn the bottom 4 rows together so far.  It looks amazing you guys!!!!
*the lighting just doesn't do this quilt justice*


Have a wonderful weekend!
