I've been a bit late to share with you all the lovely goodies I received from the
Fat Quarterly Retreat Sample Swap. I sent
my hoops along with
Kerry, as I couldn't make it myself, and then waited in anticipation of what I'd get back :) Well, I'm delighted with my goodies! Even more exciting for me was that 2 of the goodies are from my bloggy/ HipBee pals :) I got this fab purse/key fob and beautiful brooch from
Jan.
This gorgeous cushion cover from
Catherine
and this lovely mini quilt from
Francine.
Thank you ladies, I love everything! :)
In other news, rather frustratingly my operation date has moved back by a month. I'm not very happy about that as I'm so blooming uncomfortable but I guess it gives me a bit more time for sewing when the mood takes me. It also means that I might manage to pop along to the
Festival of Quilts to see Justine.
The Sneaky Stars pattern has gone off for formatting and should be ready for selling in kits at the show.
It's almost time for the big reveal on another secret sewing project of mine. I had the great privilege of working with this gorgeous Liberty Stile fabric for a Fat Quarterly project!
Issue 14 will be available next week :) Yvonne was slightly excited to see a little mention of yours truly on the
Liberty blog (read, ridiculously over-the-top mother excited!!!) I can't wait to share the finished project with you, it's rather lovely even if I say so myself ;)
Finally, we turned three on 23rd July! It's amazing how quickly time flies by. A huge thank you to all you lovely folk who have stuck with us over the years. Tradition would suggest that we do a little giveaway to mark the occasion so I'm going to think on it over night and post a little giveaway post tomorrow :) Catch you soon x
So glad you liked the goodies from sample swap. Looking forward to seeing what you did with that gorgeous Liberty Bundle. And Happy 3rd Birthday!
ReplyDeleteglad you could join in the spirit if not the actual event x Hope all goes well with the op and the recovery x
ReplyDeleteHappy belated! Bummer about the op date! Hang in there. Glad you got some lovely goodies to enjoy! Jxo
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! If you do go to FoQ and on the friday, give me a ring and I'll meet you if you like :) And I am not surprised about your appointment, my friend had what I imagine is the same problem and she had hers put back twice, and she was very unwell. She is much much better now though!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great swap :o) Boo to operation movements though
ReplyDeleteI spotted the Liberty mention yesterday too - bravo!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the Op, but glad you got to enjoy the spoils of FQR xxx

ReplyDeleteI saw you name on the Liberty blog and squealed! I can't wait to see what you made! Happy bloggy birthday!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Sorry to hear your operation has been delayed, I hope some fabric shopping and a wander round the quilt festival with friends will help take your mind off it, at least for a few hours...
Mothers are allowed to be ridiculously over the top excited. It's in the job spec, don't you know? Congrats on your liberty fame! Sorry the op is keeping you waiting. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteYay, congrats on the blogiversary and getting published - yehaw! I'm so glad you liked your mini too :)
