I ordered some goodies from Hancocks in Paducah U.S just over a week ago and they arrived today!! Great service :o). Oooops... I forgot to grab the camera before I opened the package so you see before you what happens when a fabric addict gets a parcel in the mail!!!!
Look at the goodness inside ......
I've got an official Hancocks 40th Anniversary catalogue ...... absolutely CHOCKAS with LOADS of different fabrics to drool over ..... heaven to my eyes :o)!!!

"Objects of Desire" in the one ... and the other, an absolute favourite of mine ... "Aviary" - mmmmm love it :o)!!!! And you get a free pattern for a super little bag made from the honey bun strips!! Here's the delicious fabrics I bought ... the pink and the floral are from "Beach House" range (they're to go with the "Beach House" jelly roll I have) and the others are just random ones I liked the look of :o). 
Here's what I've been up to ... 30 pinwheel blocks!! These are all from the Portabella Market range - 3 sisters. I just love the rich colours.
