Wow, this feels so easy to post on the "big" computer - everything in the right place, the font size as I like it and photos loading without problems.
Travelled home on Sat. afternoon - the long way. River crossing will be at least a couple of weeks I think. I made pretty good progress in the shop during the week, making space for the new fabrics. They didn't quite make the shelves yet, but they WILL this week. A couple of sneek peeks for you - a bit of Kaffe Fasset and Amy Butler. (These are just the top layer in the box!)
The Amy Butler fabrics are those that are going to be used in the Homespun magazine's Project of the Month, starting in March. They have previously run a Block of the Month featuring various ranges of fabrics - this time they're switching to a complete project, all travel related, so that should be a bit of fun. You will be able to make the projects exactly as they appear in the magazine!
Under the Australian Sun II by Leesa Chandler (Chandler's Cottage) has also arrived. The first version was one of the fastest moving collections I've ever had in the shop.
On the left, the main prints and the co-ordinates and border print on the right. The colours are extremely rich - the photos look a tad washed out (that operator again!)
Last week I mentioned the red and white quilt challenge being conducted by the Mt. Isa Patchwork Group. This link will take you directly to all the information. I also have details in the shop.
These are just some of the quilts that were hung in New York. Over 600 quilts, all red and white!
Something else that's RED and humming!! My umbrella tree has been a mass of flowers since just before Christmas and the birds and the bees are loving it. The flower fronds must be really heavy as a few limbs have actually broken off with the weight.
Talk soon, Sandy.
