Flowers, Gifts and Shopping!

It is so lovely to chat, though no stitching to show! How beautiful are the flowers from Girlfriends! and a lovely rosebush too - Sweet Sonata - Kaffe's new book from me to me, naughty, but I love to self-indulge at times.

It has been so wonderful hearing all your good wishes and kind thoughts - time to move on - all seems well on the home-front and I'm looking forward to being up to date on Replies and putting my energies into Browsing and Commenting.

Julia's sweet fabrics for me pretty, pretty!

A little bit of shopping from the Fat Quarter Shop - I love the simplicity and freshness of the little lap quilt pattern - I ordered this in case I run out of things to do, lol!

This is a gorgeous range 'Folklore' - 19th Century for Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics - not really for me, but for a very, very special project. I still love the pretty, bright repros - would love to open them out and show you all, but I know this little chicken wing would have trouble putting them back neatly.
Have yourself a great weekend and do lots of fun things!
