We all know what a boomerang does......it returns to you. A year ago I put together an auction basket for the Lamplighters EGA Chapter of the Mid Atlantic Regional Meeting (MAR). COVID arrived and the MAR meeting and classes didn’t happen so the auction didn’t happen. This past December, MAR sent an email to membership for a last chance to buy tickets before a January drawing. In the Christmas spirit, I bought $30/40 tickets donating to the cause and I moved on....
But like a boomerang, not only didnI win the Fiber Frenzy Basket, I am the winner of the basket I created. Since I put it together I like everything in it!
I had created this basket for Lamplighters to donate based on the apron pattern I found. 
I paired it with fabric and floss and a bunch of kitchen themed items that might make one nostalgic for baking apple pie with your grandmom. Fabric for the 50's style apron, thread and floss and buttons. A cross stitched table topper. A vintage pyrex bowl and pie plate to mix up and bake your pie in. Woodlawn Recipe book, recipe cards, dish towels and a bunch of needlework notions and kitchen type gadgets.
The fiber basket is so full of things I am overwhelmed. This basket was donated by the Lehigh Valley EGA and I need to get a thank you note out to them this week. It is so chocked full I have had fun digging through it a couple of times and finding something I missed the previous time.
And then I opened the plastic storage containers that were included to find silks, and Kreiniks
Wow, Robin...you hit the jack pot...congrats!!!! I know you will enjoy finding uses for all those goodies!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is better than the Mega Millions!!

ReplyDeleteThat is a very nice return on both your work assembling the kitchen basket and your investment for tickets. I love both of your winnings!
I lived in the Upper Perk valley for nearly 20 years and never knew there was an EGA chapter nearby. (sad face)
Oh, how wonderful for you, Robin! Enjoy all those threads--wow!
