The first was for the Vintage Sheet Fat Quarter swap, 30 lovely FQ's, all ready and waiting to be turned into something beautiful. I'm thinking a quilt, but this might be a bit adventurous as I haven't really done any quilting before..so I'm not sure. Any ideas?
The second parcel was from Red Tractor Designs, from whom I'd ordered a couple of things. Their stationary is so very cute, depicting farm scenes and animals, gardening and baking, all illustrated by Rachael Flynn. I got gift cards, wrapping paper, a notepad and a couple of magnets.
Next comes the hard part of having to give them away.
And today has seen a spot of baking. Apricot loaf to be exact..delicious and moist.
Recipe to follow tomorrow
What a great selection of vintage fabrics! I've never quilted anything, so I can't offer advice on that subject. You'll have to let us know what you decide to make.

It would have been a nice distraction in the assignment writing to stop and open such delightful packages:) I'll have to pop by tomorrow for that recipe, sounds yummy. Hope the assignment writing goes well. x
ReplyDeleteWow you have some beautiful fabrics there-the long photo is cool too! You have to have a go at quilting (not that I can, I am too scared to try!!!), maybe something small first, like for a bag?
ReplyDeleteLove that fabric! I really want a quilt made from vintage sheets. I have to learn how to make one first! Good luck!
