When the mystery bundle of antique quilt tops were handed to me, they were wrapped in a sheet and held straight by a solid object. The solid object turned out to be a bolt of T-Rex panels! Pretty fun, eh? And totally not what I was expecting.
Well, I don't have a need for T-Rex panels anymore so I posted a message on the Michigan Quilts Facebook page. I thought since I was given this beautiful bundle of tops that it was only right to "pay it forward". I asked if anyone was interested, and I would send them out free of charge.
With ten quilters requesting the nine panels, we held a drawing and then requested addresses. Several of the "winners" offered to pay for postage, but I had posted these with no strings attached. Luckily, to the postmistress's consternation, I apparently packaged them in such a way that I was able to mail them quite reasonably.
Fast forward to today. I received a thick envelope in the mail from Cindy R. Oh, I thought. A thank you note? Yes it was, but with an added bonus!

She embroidered a kitty quilt label for me! How adorable is this! And take another look at the card! It's handmade, too. It's looks like the flowers were machine embroidered on the checked fabric and then adhered within the card stock.

Thank you so much, Cindy R - absolutely adorable! I can't wait to attach it to my 1930's-era snowball quilt! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
What a cute thank you gift
