A Little Retail Therapy

 From Sarah ... patterns from Figtree Quilts and Thimble Blossoms to use up some of my collection of jelly rolls and layer cakes ...


 and Lynette Anderson's Scandanavian Christmas pattern set. I've had my eye on this one for a while .. love the red stitching with the applique.
 

 From the Quilt Patch in Launceston ... fat 8th rolls of Rural Jardin. This range is rapidly becoming my new favourite.


 I took some pictures of some recent stitching but they were so awful I'm going to have another try today while the light is better. I'm NOT a fan of winter and the cold, grey days that accompany it!

  2. Such great stash Christine. I just picked up that Jelly Girl pattern myself. What is it about those patterns that look like so much fun to make? The other patterns are great as well. And I just love that fabric you picked up - that's a favorite of mine too.

  5. Just discovered your blog "accidentally" tonight. Isn't Internet great? Love what you did with French Général' Rouenneries fabric. I too am a fan of hers and currently working on project with same fabric. Have bookmarked your site and will sure return.

  14. That Rural Jardin is gorgeous, Christine, especially in blue. Lovely! I have been away from blogging, recuperating from surgery, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I love your latest Tail Feathers block; it is going to be really spectacular when you're done.

    All the best,
