Another Surprise!


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!

So glad you liked the gifties, I had hoped you would recognise the fabrics, they were from my stash of Le petite ecole and other French general ones.
Enjoy!
Love your new blocks they look so lovely and fresh.

Hi Fiona... sorry to be late in sending you Happy Birthday wishes... by the look of your recent posts, it was a lovely one, with some lovely goodies too!
Those blocks look to be a lot of sewing, but I can already tell they're going to be a great quilt!
