Yesterday saw my laden Posty bringing my Brit Bee fabric from Katy...
Katy also included a piece of Scottish Tablet, but that lasted about 30 seconds. Loving the genius of confectionery that is called a tablet, which obviously is only for grumpy adults, and children are not allowed, as it could be dangerous!
There was a parcel from Alice at Backstitch of some Klona pale pink, for the Sizzix quilt backing, some white, plus a couple of FQs that took my fancy...

| The Christmas fabric and charms were from Intrepid Julie. |
My original brief from Sizzix was for some Christmas makes, but that got cancelled and replaced by the quilt I finished yesterday; however in the meantime I had chatted with Aneela and she generously sent me some gorgeous Cherry Christmas scraps, which, seeing how wonderful they were, I boosted with some yardage from Intrepid Thread...
I can't wait to make some early Chrimbo gifts and goodies.
So with such lovely mail, a couple of gold medals for GB and a finished quilt, August started pretty well, all things considered xxx
Nice parcels and I'm glad that your children weren't allowed to take any dangerous medication! Di x
ReplyDeleteNoooo.....stop talking about Christmas!! Just in the process of having a new boiler fitted so Christmas is defintely cancelled for us this year!
ReplyDeleteTablet is the bomb! I have a recipe if you want to have a go at making your own :)
ReplyDeletePS. I don't usually engage in the language of the youth - not sure where that came from :)
ReplyDeleteTablet is one of the best things to come out of Scotland! Of course, being Scottish, I might be slightly biased! :o)
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo for fabric mail. Isn't Cherry christmas brilliant, I love the Robin print.

ReplyDeleteHow long did it take you to come down from the sugar high? ;o)
ReplyDeleteNo. You can`t mention Christmas in August - you`re as bad as QVC ;-) I`ve been the lucky recipient of some of Katy`s tablet - lasted seconds and the sugar high lasted days.
ReplyDeleteI got some good mail today too! And I can't believe you've mentioned the 'C' word once let alone multiple times in a post in August!!!
ReplyDeletehave just had to get a towel and wipe down the laptop after seeing all that cherry christmas, oooooo!
