Fun with fabric...

Yep, I indulge in that most days; here are some little hand-stitched blocks that are being put aside for my Ode to GTSB…


They need squaring up and stitching together, but that will be part of the fun when I get to trying to decide on a layout.

I also received a speedy parcel from Jessie; ordered yesterday lunchtime, here today!


I am joining the glue-basters, as I am keen to spend as much time actually sewing as I can, and those clamshell templates, well they just fell in my basket in a moment of bravado!!

Today the kids got to play with fabric too, it's only fair!

I chickened out of going the full screen-printing hog with them, so we plumped for decorating calico bags with fabric paint…


There may have been sharing disagreements, and a little upset about going outside the lines, but all in all everyone was happy in the end…


I think they did pretty well; my only role was as brush washer and fabric-presser.

Think of this as a sweetener though, tomorrow they have the dentist to look forward to!

Couldn't help it...

On Sunday evening, despite the lovely day we'd had, the impending week got the better of me; oh so how would you cheer yourself up then?


This gorgeous bundle arrived today from Jessie's Sew and Quilt.  A mixture of Tasha Noel's Country Girls, some Pam Kitty Picnic and Aunt Grace mauve Minitures.


This wasn't a pure act of self pity indulgence, I have a (secret-blog-hoppy) project planned for these pretties already; OK so maybe I didn't need quite so much, but what's the fun in being frugal all the time eh?
