It’s going to be a bit hard getting used to the end of the Among the Gumtrees group … and as such, I thought perhaps a little bit of retail therapy was in order – and where better to visit than my local quilt store :o)???
They always have something to please me :o).
They didn’t let me down … look what they were unpacking as I walked in the door …… oh my goodness, my timing was perfick!!!I made all the right “oh no I shouldn’t'” noises, but as you can see, resistance was futile, and this gawjus sewing box came home with me ;o). Oh it’s a super size, just right for my pretty Sue Daley blocks and all the bits and bobs that go with it … It even has little pockets to pop my handy dandy needle threader and needle case in … But that’s not all I bought!! I thought since Rosie has been working so hard lately that she deserved a bit of bling too … and have a look at how these GAWJUS new PINK bobbins were displayed – complete with Easter yummies … There was no way some of these weren’t coming home with me lol. So I bought some for my Rosie in a little box all of their own …
Thank you so much for all of the lovely comments left on the GumTrees blog, we all really appreciate them :o). I'm sure we're going to miss bringing you the Gumtrees goodies, but we're all still here, just in our own 'houses' now and not in two any more. It was a fabulous time and I'll always be glad I was a part of it all, I've made some wonderful lifelong friends and had a blast. And don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten my other block in the “Things We Love” BOM, I’ll be bringing you my last stitchery design for it very soon so keep an eye out for that :o). Thanks to all of you for joining us all on the ride :o)!!!!

Love the sewing box! And those little pink bobbins are so cute! I can see why you brought some home! :0)
That's like a vanity case I have but never use any more ( not as nice on the outside as yours though) but what a good idea to use it instead of it sitting in a cupboard doing nothing. I am off to look for it. Linda
