Shop Hop Basket

I was finally able to go to the quilt shop on Saturday that had the basket that I won from the Shop Hop. Well, I thought it was a basket, it turned out to be a bag stocked full of goodies and I couldn't wait to get home and unload everything. The dogs were pretty excited, too, to smell the bag and all of the goodies that came out of it.

Here is a list of what was inside:
  • a mug and coaster set - this will be re-gifted since I am not a coffee drinker and have enough mugs for my hot chocolate when I actually have hot chocolate.
  • Jasmine Rose body scrub and body cream
  • Amy Butler 'feather your nest' home decor projects pattern book
  • a pack of pre-cut butterflies to applique
  • 2 packs of needles - machine and hand stitching needles
  • a pakc of bunny buttons - they are about 1.25 or 1.5" tall and maybe .5" wide.
  • a sleeping moon iron-on applique piece
  • a Moda tin with ladies on the front
  • a Moda handkerchief
  • a cooking timer
  • a ready to use sleeve to use on the back of wall hangings
  • blue star, yellow, and cloud fabric all rolled up - this might be for a pillowcase
  • a fat quarter of green fabric with wheels on it
  • a FQ of black and white checked fabric
  • 6 FQ of coordinating rust and olive fabric - these were what was hanging on the pocket on the outside of the bag
  • a FQ pizza - the FQ are folded into triangles and wrapped on a round piece of cardboard. they are fairly neutral colors.
  • 7 packs of 3" squares. They are wrapped together with a challenge from Fabri-quilt to use all of the pieces to make a 12" by 12" square.
  • a Chaco liner in white. I have one in blue and yellow and love them so this is a great addition!
  • Kitables garden square pattern for a table runner
  • 8 patterns - Irish Reel, Confetti, Patchwork pillowcases - simple square style, Simply Shams - Oh my stars, Primitive Star Table Runner, Patchwork pillowcases - 1/2 square triangle style, Criss Cross Charms, and Month 1 of the Quilt Collection's #14 BOM quilt Celebrate the Season.
  • the 2004 collection of thimbleberries Hometown Christmas - volumes 1-4
  • Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting magazine - Nov/Dec 2006
  • book - 24 Kids' quilt blocks - this is paper pieceing and the blocks are too cute!
  • Sew Easy Pajama Pants - this is by the same author of the Big Shirts book.
  • The Quilter Magazine - May 2007
  • Quilting for Show - a practical guide to successful competition quilting and it includes a DVD.
  • And last but not least, the BAG! It is cute, too.

And I have put together a slide show so that you can see everything that was in the bag and how cute it was before I tore everything out of it!

Wow! You got a ton of stuff in that bag! I can't believe all they put in there. Almost makes you want to share your goodies with friends! I would love to win that much stuff, but I'm never quite that lucky.

That is quite a haul - maybe worth the trip to go back to the shop to get it!

Cindy said...
