Quilty gifts galore

I love little quilts, yet I do not own one of Jo Morton's patterns.  So when I saw that she had published a new book of mini quilts in 2016 I put it on my Christmas list and Santa delivered!  
One thing not on my list was a delightful Frivols tin, which good friend Vicki delivered.  These colours and pattern are right up my alley, so knows my taste too well!  Lisa was also lucky enough to receive one, in a totally different pattern, so we are hoping to sew them up together. 
Lisa gifted me this lovely pattern, which we will definitely make together.  Bags are always more fun made with company.  And this bag is full of great pockets, which means it takes longer, so always best to plan to do with good company, so hoping Vicki is also going to join in! 
 The antique sewing kit was from Vicki and I am looking forward to using them.  Not much sewing happened leading up to Christmas, but sneaking a bit in now we are home from visiting family!
DH always gives me a quilt calendar for Christmas, and this year I was excited to get the  That Patchwork Place version.  I love the front cover quilt, it needs to go on my 2017 wish list of quilts to make! 
Happy quilting Sue.


What a lucky quilter I am!

I have been a lucky quilter this Christmas/birthday season!
A lovely red trolley for my sewing (I did have to assemble it myself!) 
DH always buys me a quilting calendar.  He tells me they are getting harder to find, but I am glad he keeps searching : ) 
The MINI Quick Curve Ruler. Yep now I am going to be tackling mini curves...I guess Mum figured I needed a new challenge for 2016!  
 
This lovely book from Lisa is full of great projects, one spoke to me immediately... 
This is THE perfect project for my French General fabric.  
 Lisa also made me this lovely basket, which had some goodies in it.
Vicki treated me to her favorite fabrics, yum!
Yep I am a lucky quilter!
Happy quilting Sue

I was just popping in to read some of my favorite bloggers, after a six month absence!  Then I saw that there was this draft post, so figure...
