Haven't had a Saturday at home in a long time; bit of a lie-in, couple of horrible, necessary hours cleaning and tidying but a noticeable, and way better vista when I was done, and some happy mail.
When Brenda/Pink Castle was having a 30%-off event just over a week ago, I nabbed some half yard cuts of Alison Glass's Text prints...
I didn't get them all, but these coloured ones really are beautiful.
I also did some sewing for 'me'. I decided on my Brit Bee III colour scheme, and got down to it. I think I better consult with the rest of the gang on what I am allowed to tell you, because we are mixing it up this year, and it's going to be a-maz-ing!!
But what I can remind/ask/beg you, is to check out all the entries over at Fiona/Celtic Thistle Stitches' Holiday Memories competition, as voting is now open.
I would love you to vote for my mini quilt, however as I have friends entered in the same category too, all I can ask is that you do cast a vote. Fiona worked hard for this competition, and the sponsors have been generous, so it would be great if you could show me/us/her/them some love.
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you got some 'me' time too; and have a peaceful rest of the weekend one and all xxx
I am deep in the housework today, it is fall clean up and so everything is a mess to get tidy. I love your quilt and I voted for you. It is hard to pick, lovely quilts and lovely friends.
ReplyDeleteWishing I had had some me time today, but sadly not and I have been up since 5:00am :( I am very jealous of your beautiful text prints. I trust you didn't incur a C&E charge? I'm too scared to order anything from the US now after being charged £18 for $12 worth of fabric. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI will pop over to vote asap. I may have ordered some of those texts prints in the 30% sale too - don't tell!
ReplyDeleteI popped over to vote - so love this quilt!!
ReplyDeleteHave voted. I have a bunch of those on order also
ReplyDeleteI had to housework today, too. But I got a holiday booked, too! Not Menorca next year but I shall pop on over to vote on yours - it brings back happy memories from that particular pool!
ReplyDeleteTeaching all day but a treat of pub dinner :). Housework still awaits! I voted, some difficult decisions!
ReplyDeleteooooh, those texty. fabrics are awesome!
ReplyDeleteAs I didn't get round to entering I'll at least go and vote. Dunno how I missed seeing these texty goodness' when I was taking advantage of 30% off!
ReplyDeleteLove those text prints and thanks for the voting shout out. I loved your mini quilt!
ReplyDeleteI have been and voted, love that mini
ReplyDeleteI am wishing now I had made a bag instead of a mini quilt as it wouldn't be in the same category as yours :-) Love your new texty fabrics - looking forward to seeing what you make with them.
ReplyDeleteI have voted, and I can't tell you who for, but her name rhymes with madly! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI voted! I know what you mean about a Saturday at home. Lovely quilt and you must have moved fast to get your hands on that fabric!
ReplyDeleteoff to look and vote right now.
ReplyDeleteVoted. :-)
ReplyDeleteVoted! And I love a Saturday in, really really love them- as long as I'm not ill.
