I'm the Lucky Girl ... again! Look what arrived in the mail yesterday - Kaffe Fassett Kashmir fabrics- pink for a girl, blue for a boy - Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, I think so! Gorgeous Janet of Quiltsalott sent them to me, so next week I'll start making giraffes! Thanks, Janet!

Now, Happy Houses - lots have arrived and still waiting on quite a few, and a few more to finish! Hopefully by the end of next week, I will be able to get everything sorted out! Thanks to everyone who has posted already!.jpg)
I've started thinking about fabrics for the 9-Patch Swap, see Post below - all very exciting and some girls have started stitching already! I will kick off with the pink and send some of the blue to Chookyblue - both Judie Rothermal fabrics. Christine has asked that we work with reproduction fabrics or similar - to me this type of reproduction refers to fabrics 1800 - 1900, not necessarily from the Civil War Era - there are so many bright, rich colours that I love so much and I'll be using them!.jpg)
Look what I discovered in our shed! My quilt rack, an antique ladder I bought at Mt Tamborine many years ago - I will have to find a spot in the house for it - I will load it with quilts and show you next time!♥
I'm off to experiment putting a knitted edge on my Angel Quilt - wish me luck! Happy day!

Lurline love the fabric you received and I have a quilt ladder just like that .
Yes Lurline I am thinking of fabrics from 1800 - 1900 and there are sure some wonderful colour and prints in those fabrics.
I too have a Ladder and it is full of quilts in my bedroom.

I love the ladder to display your quilts on Lurline. Can't wait to see it!
I was looking for the Kaffe fabric in Amish Country. Not piece of Kaffe to be found! Great you got some. I have a quilt ladder Mr. Creations and the little creations made for me for Mother's Day 13 years ago. It's my most favorite gift.
What beautiful fabrics! Your quilt ladder will look lovely covered with them!
MGM

Mr and Mrs Perkins will be great in thoses fabrics! I love your choice for you 9 patch squares, and all the Happy Houses, just make me smile! I love your ladder and cannot wait to see it filled with all your quilts.
The fabrics are beautiful. Oh Lurline, that great ladder was hidden in your shed? Can't wait to see it loaded with quilts.

I just love those fabrics and your ladder, can't wait to see it all loaded up! I must have your wrong email address, I have houses ready to post but will need your address please and also a reminder as to how many houses we are sending.
Maybe I will find a ladder if I look hard enough in the shed LOL!!! Looking forward to seeing the quilts on it Lurline ♥x
Migosh, you're a busy girl! Sounds like you're having lots of fun. Your Kaffe fabrics are pretty--so different from the big, bright, splashy prints I'm accustomed to seeing from Kaffe.
Great fabrics Lurline! Those giraffes are going to be adorable!!! That pattern is so cute! 8-)
The house blocks are wonderful, and what a great find in that ladder! Your quilts will look great hanging over that! 8-)
Happy stitchings!
I just love those fabrics! I have the pink repro fabric to use as a border for my CWLL quilt! That reminds me....I really need to get back working on that quilt!
