Hello lovely Readers - if you've popped over from Lily's Quilts then welcome, make yourselves at home and have a good snoop around ! If you're a regular visitor, nice to have you back - that colour looks great on you, have you lost weight?
I’ve been a very lucky girl recently …
 First of all I won this great bundle from Fat Quarterly … |  …then I received this wonderful angel quilt from Lynne @ Lily’sQuilts for the BritQuiltSwap |  … and I won this The Farmer’s Wife Pony Club book giveaway @ Lily'sQuilts |  … And then I won some Happy Mochi Yum Yum at Lily’sQuilts too ! (not to mention some Aurifil thread too!) |
Truth be told I'm a little embarrassed, but I’m not going to apologise for my luck (trust me, there's enough dark stuff in my life to balance it out!) I am going to pay it forward though …
The lovely Alice at Backstitch has offered you lovely readers a chance to win a metre (in any combo you like) of Anna Maria Horner’s new LouLouthi line …I like some of the prints in this line a lot, although it’s not in my usual comfort zone by any means. I'm slowly learning how to look at a large print and see how it would look cropped and pieced. It's not easy for me unless I actually have the fabric in my hot little paws.
You should really check out The Enchanted Bobbin's wonderful hexies using Loulouthi here. There's a lady who knows how to use a print!
I definitely need some of that blue and yellow Coreopsis for my 4x5 bee quilt …
Backstitch is one of my regular payday visits … Such lovely service - speedy, wrapped properly and tied with ribbon ... this is something that really makes a difference to me. I hate when I just receive fabric shoved into an envelope with no packing note or nuffink.
I love their Klona cottons – the texture is different from Kona and the colours are different too. It’s not the biggest range in the world, but there are some really goodies, so I use both brands to complement each other.
It’s really good value, at only £5.50 a metre.
You can get a swatch cardfor about thrumpence too …
… this is what I did with mine …
it flutters in the breeze, lovely …
What’s really great is that they send out update swatches too
– note to self: sew these onto swatch flag before I lose em!
