Some Recent Retail Therapy

This fantastic book now resides on my bookshelf. I loved volume 2 so much that when I saw this one at a heavily reduced price there was no question of leaving it in the shop!

 
These are my new favourite stitching scissors. They were very inexpensive but I love them because they're PINK! The fabric in the background will be used for .... 

this new project. Not sure when I'll get to start this one ... have nearly collected all the bits and pieces I'll need.
 

Regular readers will know I love redwork and red and white fabrics, so it should be no surprise that Rouenneries is rapidly becoming my new favourite range.
 

Another 'couldn't resist' item was this scissor fabric.

A while ago I purchased a jelly roll of Baskets of Flowers by Mary Engelbreit. I should be able to make a decent sized quilt now I have these from the same range.



Must do some Secret Santa stitching over the weekend ... can't believe it's October already. Eeek!

    Your new scissors are so pretty. I'll be starting Tail Feathers early next year - I've been collecting a stack of Patisserie fabrics.

    What a wonderful stash haul!
    That fabric line is a big favourite with me also and every stitcher should have a pair of stork scissors.
    I shall look forward to seeing some wonderful finished projects from the new book and fabrics.

    LOVE The pink stork scissors. Where on earth did you find them? Beautiful blog too. I just found you through Google (they recommended you based on other blogs I follow). You've done some beautiful things.
