If you have already visited Susan at Canadian Abroad you will know that she received a fantastic package from Lynne of Lilys Quilts in return for some photos at the Festival of Quilts! Well I was there with Susan and I took photos too and I also got a package from Lynne yesterday!
I was anticipating a few little charms at best but was overwhelmed by Lynne's generosity!
Here is what she sent me!
Quite a variety including Sarah Fielke from little things, some adorable Ruby Star Rising, Cameras from Echino, Love by Amy Butler, Komachi Project by Cotton, and one other - I love it, I've seen it but don't know what it is called... 2nd one down on the right! Plus some Aurifil thread to try out in green!
I have palpatations thinking about this booty! Now I need to think of something to do justice to these lovelies....
..... it does need to be something special, nothing less will do....and as there is quite a lot of the heavier weight fabric I am thinking perhaps of making a bag from this book I have been waiting to use
unless you have a better idea, or course....I am listening?!!
Not only did I receive this fabulous gift but I also won in a giveaway thanks to two little furry creatures from Pomona's lovely blog Little Cottage Comforts. The prize is this book....
So I may be coming to an organic location near you -you have been warned!
Better go and buy that lottery ticket as I seem to be living a charmed life!
