I am weak willed!

In between all my handstitching I have been active on the internet pressing the buy now button and maybe I should share some of my beautiful booty with you.


I am weak willed - show me something pretty and it seems I cannot resist!


This arrived from Japan and the lovely Ayumi @ Pink Penguin!





sorry about the blurry photo - but Disney stamps!



The smaller pieces on the left were not on the order but thrown in by Ayumi to keep the others company!  Isn't she lovely!


This arrived from Katy @ Monkey Do!


 



told you I have a Carnival quilt somewhere in my future


This followed from Sew Kind of Wonderful






shortly after I saw this cushion Alison made @ Little Island Quilting - she has been showing off ever since what this ruler can do here and here! ( hehe!)


This was too tempting to resist from Martha....








 - first Lori was making a tiny Drunkard's Path then I saw Kathie's quilt and found a link to Martha's Etsy Shop from there on resistance was pointless!  


I watched Martha make loads of unique aprons for her daughter's wedding shower guests from beautiful vintage fabrics and she is still making them to sell in her Etsy shop plus she is making the most beautiful kits from her original vintage stash and cutting out all the tiny pieces...   






I had to put in my bobbin to show you the tiny scale of these pieces...all I need do is sew them up!



These were on sale at Seamstar - think I am getting a daisy thing!





This from Karen at BlueberryPark








Told you I am in love with daisies!




This book from Amazon








You have been telling me it is good and this time I was listening with my finger on the buy now button!






And this Oakshott cotton - I blame Lynne!











I have been buying these over the last month and a half ....honest!  I just have been keeping it all to myself...thought I'd better come clean!

  8. Trying again as blogger wouldn't let me join in. I have that book SS. We could get into a lot of trouble with the contents of that book. How many quilts can we make from it?

  17. My copy of 5500 Quilt Blocks came on Friday too!

    Then I realised I had an old copy of Maggie Malone's previous book, 1001 quilt blocks. SO I don't know whether to keep an cherish as I do with old books or to repurpose it, or to tear pages out for inspiration OR to give it away on my blog! :)
