Fat Quarterly Liberty reveal

Today's the day I can finally reveal what I made with the gorgeous stack of Liberty Stile I showed you last week! Issue 14 of the Fat Quarterly ezine is out today. Inside you'll find lots of gorgeous projects to try or to inspire, along with my project the Liberty Stile Garden party picnic blanket.

 I had such fun with this project! It's already gone to a very happy home with Yvonne :) I do believe that Yvonne will be popping in to tell you about her very own Liberty project this week and there might just be a sneaky shot of this blanket in use on her table :) I can't wait to hear what you all think of it!

If you're looking for our Mega Giveaway it's here. We've been overwhelmed by the response so far. Apologies if I haven't managed to answer every comment, there are lots of no-reply bloggers that I couldn't respond to and while I would normally comment here on the blog I can't do that this time because of the giveaway (it wouldn't be right if I won, now would it?!). Catch you soon x

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
