Feel good fabric...

Well when you are feelings as fed up as I continue to be, whilst waiting for so-called tech wizards to work their magic, the arrival of not one, not two, but three parcels of fabric did make the day a little better.

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.
And finally It's Christmas!

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

  5. Tablet is one of the best things to come out of Scotland! Of course, being Scottish, I might be slightly biased! :o)

  12. No. 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.
