I Won

Remember the Infinite Variety of Red and White in NYC. How could those of us that were there ever forget. What a marvellous exhibition it was! So many fond memories of that trip and meeting up with fellow blogger's from around the world.

I missed my chance to buy one of the exhibition bags as the on site shop sold out within the first few hours. I seem to remember you could order one but they wouldn't post overseas. So I gave up ever owning one of these iconic bags .
Well not until TARYN posted up a give away and I WON the bag.
How thrilled am I. Thanks Taryn. I hope we get to meet up someday. We missed in NYC and missed in Houston 3RD time lucky as they say.

I'm at last posting my Christmas gifts from PIC . Red fabric! and the Quiltmania diary. As always she knows what I like.Thanks PIC.

Nursery curtains are now made and we are now on count down. Baby is due on the 23rd. She looks like she's about to explode and her poor legs and feet are completely swollen .I remember that feeling oh so well even after 36 years.

Hopefully will be posting news of the new arrival sooooooon!

Purchases and Gifts

GLUE PEN GIFT

The Goodies I Bought

From the book Born To Quilt

 

Today I received a gift from Lori at HUMBLE QUILTS. I am thrilled to have this gift as I see so many bloggers using them ,So now I have one too. A big thank you Lori.

I also have to own up to my purchases at the Festival of Quilts at the weekend.
I couldn't resist this pattern by Hoopla . It is scenes of Childhood from the Shelburne Museum collection.

I also had to have these fabrics and of course then their was the lovely perle cotton from Valdani . You can't get these lovely threads in the UK so was thrilled to find the Canadian company had made it over to the FOQ for the first time.
I did purchase some lovely wool in Paducah this year and now have the thread to go with them . No excuses now not to make something lovely in wool.

Just had to have this book- The title is in English but it is written in French so can't read a word of it but the picture's are delicious . Its just one of those books that you need to have lying around to give you that little bit of inspiration for a small project. Lets hope I have enough nonce to work out of how things are made.
Finally I bought this lovely big reel of Aurifil thread. My machine really likes it and apart from YLI was the only thread I used to stock in my shop.
What thread do you like using? I would love to know.
