Jelly Girl

Jelly Girl is finished, bound and blogable! Plus its dry enough outside to spread her out for a photo.

Next on the list, FQS Mystery BOM block 4.

New Fabric

The Aussie dollar is gradually creeping its way back, which means I can shop (almost) guilt-free! Todays bundle includes 4 yards of Patisserie for the back of my Jelly Girl quilt (next on the list), and a yard each of two cute Alexander Henry prints. One will most likely end up on the back of the pinwheel quilt.

And the Fabric Shack, being lovely as always, included a free pack of embroidery needles. Oh, and for the Aussies, their postage is usually just $10 for up to 9 yards.

Pinwheels and Scrap Bags

I've had a little idea buzzing around in my head for the last few weeks, and finally got time this week to put together a few pinwheel blocks. It will only be a small quilt, and I'm sure you all know what that means!

I apparently missed the parcel delivery man this morning, and had to go up to the local post office, but I came home with fabric. I'd been eyeing off the Patisserie range, and decided on the Jelly Girl quilt, and Hancocks of Paducah just happened to have a kit for a very appealing price. A couple of weeks of waiting impatiently, and it finally arrived! Not sure when I'll actually get around to it, but it's here and waiting for whenever I'm ready.

With the kit I also bought one of the new Moda Scrap Bags; these are bags containing co-ordinating off-cuts from when they make the layer cakes etc. It's a bit pot-luck as to what you get, and I got an odd assortment. Mostly a funky, bright cherry patterned range (Oh Cherry, I think), with some of what looks like the new Glace range. No idea what to do with it...but I'm sure it will be useful for something.

My new scarf is coming along well...

And Bella's hiding spot for today? Inside the dishwasher of all places. She is a funny girl.
