A bit of this and a bit of that ...........

I finally finished this quilt - I'd been waiting for the ric rac to go with the binding. I really should be writing up the pattern rather than playing on my blog lol ... but I thought you might like to see what else I've been up to ;o). I'll show you a better pic of the quilt once I've written it up ... and of course there will have to be a giveaway too!!! But here's a sneaky peak for now ............ I love those Wildflower Serenade fabrics :o)!!! The lighter beige floral fabric on the left is actually the backing, the quilt is all folded up - I was being lazy ;o).

This little man was made by my friend Lynn when she and Valerie and I got together yesterday ... isn't he just so cute!!?! He's called Boyd (short for Boy Doll lol) .....And here's the one I made ... she'll be a birthday gift for someone soon ;o). I'm not telling who, just in case she reads my blog!!We had such a fun day yesterday. I'll post a piccy of Valierie's doll when it's finished too ;o).

DH went outside to do some gardening yesterday afternoon and he came in and gave me this from our garden. The roses are (over)due to be pruned but there are still so many gorgeous blooms and buds that we can't bear to cut them up yet. This one is called "Blue Moon".
I got some FABULOUS mail too!!! I got a bonus prize in Terry's giveaway not so long ago and she sent me 2 gorgeous fat quarters and some matching DMC threads. Thank you so much Terry, what a lovely surprise :o)!!!!

I also got this parcel in the mail. I couldn't for the life of me think who would be sending me anything via Swiss Mail (???) .....

So I opened it up and it turned out to be some fabrics I ordered from US a couple of weeks ago!!! Mmmmmm, fabricky yummy goodness.

It's all from the Collection for a Cause range in "Legacy" by Moda. It's just delish!!! I got a total of 12 yards of various florals and blenders ......

and the jelly roll .............. yuuuummmm :o)!!!

But wait, there's more!!! He he ... should I be telling you about steak knives right now??? He he ... no, just more quilty mail!!! I've been after this book for a while and I finally bought it. It's terrific, I've read all the Jennifer Chaverini books to date and I enjoyed them so much :o).

You never know, one day I might get around to making one of these gorgeous quilts ;o).

Have a great day!!!
