Christmas in August

Today I visited a friends house for a sewing day.  We were both working on Christmas quilts.  I’m very pleased with my progress as I managed to complete a further 9 blocks for my Tula 100 quilt.  That puts me at a total of 25 blocks completed.

My fabric choice for the 100 blocks is Joy by Kate Spain.

They’re so pretty… I might have to sew up some more this week :)

New Stash :)

Thought i'd share with you the latest additions to my fabric stash (like I need anymore!!!).  I picked up this lovely lot at the Sandown Quilt Championships, I thought I was quite restrained myself :)

A bargain pack of pretty FQ's & some lovely pink & lilac ric-rac.

Already have projects lined up for these.

 A lovely FQ bundle of Vintage Summer

Some plain pink & border prints from the Pom Pom De Paris fabric range

These are to go with a quilt that's already a WIP

Joy of joy, a lovely layer cake & 2 x charm packs from my favourite fabric designer, Kate Spain

Hopefully, in the not too distant future, you may see some projects made out of some of these lovely fabrics.

Happy stitching :)

BOM & Central Park

I managed to complete the next block in the quilt groups Block of the Month. Funny thing is the fabrics I'm using for these blocks are the same fabrics that I used for my pinwheel quilt. I had quite a bit left so thought using it for these blocks would be perfect, the only thing is that so far I've only used up scraps from the pinwheel quilt & haven't even touched the yardage that I have left over. I can see many quilts in the future being made with these :)



I follow @fabricshoppe on Twitter & often they have some of the best offers but being in the states I've tended to just look but a couple of weeks ago they offered some half yard bundles of Kate Spains Central Park fabric & to be honest it was an offer to good to miss. I'm totally in love with the Central Park range of fabrics & with the $/£ exchange rate being so good at the moment it was well worth me ordering, even with postage it was a good deal, this week they arrived & here they are........ aren't they adorable? (I've ordered another pale blue one in the same range to go with it)


In the coming weeks I'm going to be offering a giveaway. 25th May is my 4th Blogoversary. I haven't decided yet if it's to be fabric &/or cross stitch.... how exciting :)

Happy stitching :)
