The fabric that was in the box when it arrived,the large piece in the foreground is an owl apron panel.

Notions,a mug rug with some sweet embroidery in the center,a large zippered pouch (laying flat in front of the mug rug),assorted trims,thread.

Quite an array of patterns and a quilt journal,for recording your quilt info about each quilt.

All squared up,now all I need to do is collate them slip them in an envelope and ship them off :)

Speaking of Christmas in July,remember this block? (from last October)
