So much to say - more than enough for 1 post, so perhaps I'll break this in to two seperate posts and feel like I have achieved so much more this week (LOL).
Without going in to detail, the past three and a half weeks have seen me in and out of hospital with my sick husband. He is on the road to recovery, but more hospital will be required.
I have had lovely mail over that time - the finishing kit for my Fat Quarter Shop Mystery Designer Block of the Month (phew, what a mouthful - this will forever more be known as the M-BOM) finally found its way home - followed the next week by Block 2. It is my intention to stitch these over the coming days ready for block number 3 - I'll post as soon as I do!
I was a lucky winner on this gorgeous site, and I'm happy to say my parcel has just arrived in the mail, and I am now the lucky owner of this gorgeous hand made book - don't you just love the inside cover (faceplate)too?
The book is filled with scrumptious blank pages - just perfect for my little jottings as I am designing!
It was my Mum's birthday last week - I made her one of my new bags - but in green and pink fabrics using Barefoot Roses as the large floral. With all that was going on at that time, I forgot to photograph it. I shall amend that next time I'm there!
The Pin Cushion swap was a great success - if you hadn't worked out from my snippet posted earlier, this is the pincushion I made for Tara in Utah.
This is the gorgous pincushion I received from Tracey in Connecticut - aren't I lucky! Tracey's hometown is right near where they make the famous Pez dispensers and candy - so she included an Hello Kitty one for me, along with some gorgeous postcards of her 'local' quilt shop, and a great little zip
up purse. I have already stored all of my Copic pens that I use when finishing these little darlings! My all time favourite US quilt mag was in there too! Thank you Tracey.
This swap was so much fun - I signed up for the Bag Swap too! These swaps are secret swapper ones - do you wonder who I'm stitching for????
I'll leave it there for now - but I have so much more to share .......
TTFN - Dawn
