I joined in the Addicted to Text - UK Charm Swap!
This was my choice, all cut and sent off
The last day for posting was Saturday so I will be waiting by my letterbox for a little parcel next week sometime, maybe!? I am quite excited I have to say! There were a couple of sneaky fabrics that jumped in my basket at the same time as I bought my contribution
I shared them with Sarah in Shetland as a little thank you for the Japanese Charm Swap. Somehow that makes me feel not quite so guilty about buying them in the first place!
Sarah sent back this adorable fabric - isn't it cute - love those moustaches! And I adore all Hans Christian Andersen stories!
I love that this fabric came from Japan, to somewhere Sarah bought it from, then up to Shetland and down to the south of England - that is one well travelled piece of fabric!
Thank you so much Sarah.
Some kind soul also pointed me in the direction of Dana's destash! - well I visited and this little horde arrived on the same day!
My previous visit to Dana's destash was incorporated in my Mouthy Stitches Tote bag! And also into the background of my second feather block for the lovely Lucy! (one on the left)
I have at last posted these and they should be with Lucy next week! Sorry for the delay!
Talking about Lucy - we are both working on some EPP Rose Star blocks and having found out we were working on the same size I suggested a swap!
Lucy agreed and awesomely organised and quick as she is, she beat me to it and sent me this fabulous block, which I am ashamed to say I haven't shown here as yet!
It will add a little sparkle to my blocks as there is a touch of glitter in that centre hexy! I have a few other sparkly fabrics to play with - hmmm, maybe they can join my Rose Star blocks or indeed Lucy's??
Isn't it fun to spread some fabric love around the world...well this little corner anyway!
