Sunday Stash

Well well, it's Sunday again and time for another - quick - look at fabric from that recent large order.


You might have spotted these on Wednesday amongst my baby quilt squares. Love the woodpeckers in the birches though you can see only part of one in this picture.


I also ordered half a yard of this funky knit for a body or tee. My sister has decided on a monster theme for the nursery but I think dinosaurs are fair game, too.

Happy sewing!

Linking up Fiona's Sunday Stash, this time at Sew Happily Ever After. Let's see everybody's beauties!

W.i.P. - Square Central, or Central Square?

Last weekend I cut lots of 5'' squares (and some rectangles) from this pretty stack for the blue and grey baby quilt I'm planning for my nephew. Yep, the one on top of the Fish & HSTs quilt. Lol.


I love that fawn so much, Carol used it in one of her projects and I just had to have it, too. Doesn't it look too cute?




Nearly forgot to add these as I'd put them in a different box.


So, a blue and grey baby quilt featuring vegetation and animals from all party - sky, earth, sea. Anybody got a catchy name for me? I'd love to hear your ideas.

Happy Birthday

My husband regularly likes to ridicule my fondness for butter over margarine and other substitutes - hmmm, fresh bread with butter and salt, nommmmmmm - so this was the most perfect birthday card for him.


Happy birthday, my love. You mean the butter world to me and so much more.

I didn't manage to finish my me-made present for him in time. Alas. Soon, though. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

Happy sewing and have a good week, friends!
