Rock the Kasbah!

Today when I got home from work, my lovely bundle of Moroccan Mirage had arrived from Julie at the Intrepid Thread...


I won these gorgeous FQs from Annabella, who actually lives in Morocco, which doesn't make me jealous in the slightest, much! 

If you are not familiar with North Africa, according to Annabella it is just like 1001 Peeps, and I suspect her poor mother is currently hiding in a basket, or wrapped in a magic carpet, whilst her clothes are being laundered, as the only luggage she was allowed to take to visit her daughter was fabric!


The colours are so stunning and I can't wait to have time to sit back and think of something that will show them all off to their best.  Thank you ladies, these were just the cheery sight I needed after my day of database interrogation!

Tomorrow I have a tonne of errands and phonecalls to make, but hopefully I will have time for some sewing.  I need to come up with a manly use for a Layer Cake!

Speaking of manly, here's a better shot of the blocks for Bee Blessed, last nights' pictures made them look a bit 'bleugh', especially the blue/green man-block; a bit of sunshine makes a lot of difference...


So for now, a Pinning session calls!

  11. I'm not normally a 'pink' person, but I love that fabric! Think you may be right about Annabella's mum too, although last I read she was wearing a bikini, which may have been her solution to minimal clothing space...

  12. My mum in a bikini may be going viral soon! So happy you like it...it has such an amazing texture - kind of crispy (?!) Intrigued by the manly use for a layer cake - the mind boggles.

  16. Moroccan Mirage is gorgeous. I purchased a fq collection of the whole range from Julie (Intrepid Thread). The designs remind me of the fine carved plasterwork and ceramic tiles I saw whilst on holiday in Tunisia!
