My sister sent me a package in the mail. It contained the cutest material! I mean I couldn't hardly contain myself when I saw it! I immediately found the panels that I loved the most and figured out what I wanted to make with them. I had an old trunk, and I decided that I would make a trunk topper. I had some really pretty red fabric with flowers, so I used fusible webbing on the back of the two pieces I chose, then ironed them down on the red flower material, added a center strip of black, added a little dress-form image, and stitched it all down. Did you get all that? I hot glued that on my trunk and then added the fringe. Boy, do I love how it turned out. I am re-doing the inside of the trunk with old book pages.

Thank you, Peggy! I have so many projects to make using the fabric that Cindy sent me. I will take a picture of the inside and post it soon. I appreciate your comment and hope to see you in Arizona!
