I was shopping today with my youngest Emily (Freshman in HS) and 2 of her friends and got home mid afternoon to find an early birthday surprise laying on my bed - a package from Lucy!!!I had no idea what she could have sent me. Well I opened it up and found some drunkard path blocks for our exchange! Don't they look great! We have no timing on these, and I don't really even have a desired finished size. We just make them when we have time or fabric for them and then ship a bunch! These are the ones Lucy sent me - she had posted not too far back a picture of the ones I sent her.
BUT - do you know what else I found in the package? A panel I have been wanting from Den Haan & Wagenmakers! And 2 other pieces of fabric from there! Are these not gorgeous! I"ve been drooling over them for awhile but they are pricey - and with 2 kids in college and a 3rd to go next year, this was one area I've been trying to be good. And now I have some! Already I"ve emailed Lucy with all kinds of ideas of a quilt to make with them. I want it to look Dutch when I"m done. Or at least I hope so!
Thank you Lucy! You made my day!

Beautiful panel and fabrics! Congrats!
Must be something in the air -- I've been thinking of doing another drunkards path quilt for a couple of months now. I like the blocks you're exchanging.
Such fun! I'm sure they'll always make you smile when you look at them. :)
Wowie, Zowie! Wonderful package from Lucy. Enjoy, Dawn!
How sweet of Lucy - and how wonderful for you! Isn't the panel simply beautiful? I bought it also when bought a bunch of stuff at the Reproduction Fabrics book in Seattle last summer at the quilt show. I have the panel hanging on my design wall. I want to use it as the center of another pre-1830's medallion.
Gorgeous fabrics and panel Dawn. Oh the endless possibilities!
And Happy Birthday!
