A lovely fabric package!

Look what I got in the mail on Friday!
Lots of yummy sweet fabric's from Fabritopia! What a perfect shop!
I have wanted some of these fabric's from Annette Tatum's 'House' for soooo long! And they are finally here...I'm so excited. I've already made a few things with them.




And this one below is a bit out of my normal range of fabrics... but I do have something in mind for it...



Look what I made today! I'm quite excited with these. I have a huge 'thing' for cute little ballet slippers... My husband's Aunt usually brings me about 6 pairs every year when they come here from Scotland...but I've already worn them to death, and was not looking forward to finding some here. So I unpicked an old grotty pair (I am sooo not showing a pic of them!) and got cutting and sewing these sweeties. I absolutely love them! Super comfy and just sooo cute. I can just imagine what my slipper collection is going to look like now.... :)

And these Paris Bebe ones will be on the way to Joyce in Scotland tomorrow, I swear I was only modelling them for the pic's... :)
I also finished my 'Charm square quilt'. It was a bit harder to do the quilting due to the size, I've tried to keep them small till now, but I felt it was time to move up in size. I think it's turned out really well. I have another two quilt's to do the quilting on this week, I'm just lovin' this!





Here's another A4 Notebook cover I've also made, something a little more simple.



I had an email on Sunday night from a lovely lady I made some Raggy quilts for. You can see that post here..
She was pregnant with twin girls, and I made her matching quilts and name cushions. She sent me a little note telling me she had her two little girls 5 weeks early on the 29th March. I also got an adorable picture of the sweeties, still in hospital for a few more weeks!
I thought it was such a nice thing for her to do. We make so many great friends through the things we make and do.

Best wishes,
Jenelle

Wonderful job! Look at those slippers. I could sure use them right now. It's so cold here. I am still practicing my stippling before I go to something chic. I'm nervous but forging ahead.
