happy mail, another ufo


This week my special order of  Michelle's new and first book arrived.....

I think she is so clever to do a book (self published) and the designs are just lovely..  all the projects were made and quilted by her... they are gorgeous


I also ordered some buttons from Yvonne... they are perfectly sweet and amazing detail


.... this is a little brooch I got too.... Santa is just under 1 1/2" so that detail is tiny 


When I sewed the snowball blocks for my 'SweetPea' quilt I double sewed the squares and cut through the middle making mini HST's .... these all got pressed and trimmed this week

(there is something sadistically satisfying about a pile of skinny trimmings)

(the HST's squares are 1 1/2")


.... and now they have been packed in a box...

... officially a new UFO has gone into my cupboard ...


Righto, Gotto Go... I'm going to do a bit of stitchery on a different UFO.....

LOL! I thought I was the only one who LOVES the little pile of trimmings from HST's. I like the way you plan ahead for a new UFO. And I can't wait to get my hands on Michelle's new book. It looks awesome.
