Very Charmed

I received a wonderful package on Friday from Jane of Jane’s Fabrics. She sent me six full charm packs, 5 for the Charms for Charity Contest and one for my new niece, Alice. She wouldn’t let me pay for Alice’s either. Thank you Jane!

Included in the package are Moda’s Recipe for Friendship, Butterfly Fling and Recess, RJR’s Portobello Road and Marcus Brother’s Aunt Grace Polka Dots.

The winner of the second batch of charms is Grace Lambie, from Windsor, Ontario. Congratulations Grace!

As much as I’m looking forward to a few days at my parents to celebrate the holidays with family and friends, I’m really looking forward to coming home and getting a few days of sewing in before work crazy begins again. I’m taking all the charms with me so I can show them to my mom and we can coordinate them into quilts.
