What a lovely surprise!!!

Okay ... after I had that "Murphy" [["anything that can go wrong ... will!!"]] type day last week things have definitely been looking so much better!!! Look what came in the mail for me ....
I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened up this pretty parcel!!! All of these wonderful goodies came from Clare's Craftroom ... I won a giveaway on her blog and the prize was her "Flutterby" pattern, but she also sent all of these fabulous treats too!!! So very generous and kind...... thanks so much Clare!!! I've also been very busy stitching this week ... it's been a most productive few days I'm pleased to say :o). These are a surprise for a friend ... I hope she likes them :o) ... and I finished my "Slice and Dice" quilt in the bright and beautiful Oh Cherry Oh fabrics (pattern available here) ... just working with those fabulous colours put a smile on my face ... aren't they just so happy!!! This is the front, it's quilt-as-you-go, very fat quarter friendly ..... and ........ It's reversible too!!!! This is the back :o). He he he ... two quilts in one!!!!
I'm off to stitch some more, I working with some Moda 'Portobello Markets' fabrics at the moment, totally different to the Oh Cherry Ohs but still absolutely gorgeous :o)!!!
