Just flown in....

New additions to my stash
New additions to my stash arrived yesterday with my husband who is finally home from the US. Knowing that he'll bring back fabric for me always sweetens the deal when he goes away for a few weeks. This time he bought me a lovely fat quarter bundle of Kaffe Fassett prints and some more of Heather Bailey's 'Nicey Jane prints which are always welcome in my stash.

Here's a better photo of those bright and bold Kaffe Fassett FQ's. Looking forward to playing with these babies!

WIP machine quilting
And this is what's happening in my attic this week. Yes it's taken me a while to get started on quilting this quilt but I've finally settled on a quilting plan. I found some pretty variegated thread to do some machine quilting  then I will do a little hand quilting as well having tracked down some Perle cotton in nearly all the right shades. I have 3 more quilts to quilt after this one and I'm determined to get them all done and dusted sooner rather than later. There I've said it publicly so now I have to!

Lucky you, my DH buys me patchwork books when in USA but draws the line at fabric! Look forward to watching the quilting progress...not that we are putting any pressure on...yet! Happy quilting, Sue SA.

Do you get to choose the fabrics or is it just pot luck? Whatever, it is the best present I could imagine - far better than the usual foreign trip souvenirs!

Ha! Have taken note of you quilting promise and will be checking back to see how it all goes (this from someone who has done more dreaming than quilting lately)!

Love the promise of the one on your machine...tell us about the glove I spy in the photo.
