Happy Dance!

I am so much happier now my parcel has arrived containing yummies for me and some fabric I wanted for my other Goodie Swap partner (not shown!).  I am so rubbish at waiting, when will I learn that stamping my feet will not make things come sooner!


These came from Del Ray Fabrics, and Pamela even popped in a few extras including almost half a yard of the Riley Blake iron and pan print!  Look Reene, I have aprons!

So I am now raring to get on with some making tomorrow, (before the dentist)...  Just a teensy peek partner, I can't resist taunting you!


So hopefully I will be able to get both Swap parcels in the post by the weekend, phew, I don't like cutting it fine.

As promised, a piccie of my Across the Sea backside - it's a big one, and I'm afraid the wind (!), rain and then sunshine all conspired for a rather uninspired photocall...


I have just enough batting, so as soon as the weather allows, I'll be outside with my can in hand, doing basting angels!  Happy days.

  3. Oooh, love the parcel contents. I've got one mug rug to finish for the swap, and I hope to get the lot in the post this weekend, along with some bee blocks - whew! I did manage to sit down at lunchtime at work and work out my ATS QAL back for my mad fabric/quilt top width, so I should be able to get to it Sunday.

    Just to make you jealous though, I have 4 parcels to pick up at the sorting office tomorrow... :oD

  6. Was your fabric ripped or cut? I'll feel really badly done by if only mine was ripped. Love what you got though!

  9. Aren't parcels the best! Me and my kids get so excited whenever we get one :) Even if it's something boring! Maybe we need to get out more... anyway that backside is looking great!

  18. Love the red stripe - think you should send it here ;o) Love the contents of your parcel - do you make yourself wait to open them until you've opened and sorted all the boring stuff? What am I asking?! I bet you jump right in before you've got the door closed!
