Lucky me

We've had a little problem with our internet lately but all seems to be in working order again.

The postman has been a regular visitor in the last week bringing me lots of goodies.
I was the very lucky winner of Cheryl's give away. What a generous gift - a very beautiful book and a bonus pattern, many thanks Cheryl. I am the envy of our sewing group.


I have my eye on this little project, just  for starters.


I ordered these Roberta Horton books many moons ago and was getting a little anxious about their whereabouts. Finally they arrived and I have it on good authority that they can help me in my creative pursuits. You can be the judge of my progress when I find some time to do a little sewing.


Some samples of new fabric arrivals from Threadbare in Castlemaine. Still loving blues with reds.


And lastly some quilts from the NOTY quilt show that we attended earlier this month. These girls always put on a great show and no complaints about the menu either. I have listed the few names that I remembered to get.

David's Quilt by Leanne Humber

Japanese - Row by Row by Christine Tomlins


Wild Pomegranate by Vivien Dunkley


You can see more of their quilts from the exhibition on their blog.
Hopefully all this inspiration will get me back into a creative frame of mind.
