Receiving this parcel made me laugh out loud......
Marina spoilt me .....
These are little suffy puffs - some of them fabrics I have just used in my sampler quilt.... I have a little hanger and am going to put it on there to display on my wall....
... and a beautifully sewn needlecase. I do love a little needlecase to go in project bags (which you may have guessed I have a few!)
The "Make a Wish" hanger is already up in a little corner ....
Thank you Marina, you spoilt me .....
This is what I sewed up over the weekend. All the blocks needed edging first and that took a long time and was really quite boring so I'm glad I had it where there was company....
There will be 9 blocks all the same and then just placed in different directions....
I used up quite a lot of Japanese inspired scraps for this quilt - so I'm happy with that....
Righto, Gotto Go... Tuesday means sewing day with the girls!
Awesome gifts! You really did have a special celebration.

ReplyDeletebeautiful gifts, love the puffs! I have some Japenese fabrics safe somewhere, that has given me an idea of what to do with them
