Mail in, mail out

I am, for sure, keeping the postal services into business lately. I have sent 8 parcels this morning with Bee blocks to my fellow swappers. I prepared all my packages last night while watching TV and they all went in the box this morning!

And in the last few weeks, I have replenished my stash (which doesn't really need to be, anyway) but then, do we *NEED* to need fabric to buy more?

First I ordered 2 lovely FQ bundles from the Fat Quarter Shop. I fell under the charm of the Follow My Heart line by Lynette Anderson for Lecien fabrics. So when the bundles were on offer for half price with 40% off shipping, how could I resist and with such a bargain why not buying the 2 colourways. The order was delivered so swiftly and with no trouble at all. Great service as usual.

Of course I already have a plan for this fabric (well, maybe!). I would love to make the Merry Merry Snowmen quilt from Bunny Hill Design and I think this fabric would work well for it. I bought the pattern last year in Birmingham, now I only need to locate it! 


And then when I was sewing my Bee Europa block for Cille, I managed to mis-read the instructions so badly that I cut the fabric she had send wrong. So I shopped for some more fabric and while I was ordering, I thought it would be rude not to browse the whole shop (just in case) and also to make the postage charge worthwhile. So I ordered some Lark fabric from the Eclectic Maker. And they had a gorgeous Liberty bundle that I couldn't pass.

And then I found a charm pack of Coma fabric and ordered half yard of 3 of the fabrics in the line, only 3 because it wouldn't have been reasonable to order more... I will stroke them for a while before I dare using them I am sure!

Again the fabric arrived very swiftly and greatly packed. Great service. That was my first order but I will use them again!

    Boy you have had busy mail days. You are so right it would have been terribly rude not to order both color ways. I have to go and check this line out. I did love the comma charmpack and the fabrics you ordered with it. Have fun.

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

Image
  Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along .  The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...) I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent times. Of course it would be tempting to start yet another project but I think using my scraps for this quilt along in the set colour of the month is a safer plan.
