Well I had to post. I *had* to. Look what the postie delivered to me!
Someone enjoyed my Blogtoberfest! Isn't it fabulous? There's a wee owl in the tree too... And the wee burds in the snow... I absolutely love it! (Thank you x)
I've been trying to do a bit of fabric sorting, so, in the spirit of this wonderful post (click here to see it), I think I can take it up a notch! I was wondering if anyone wanted any of these?

| dunno... it is 100% cotton quilting weight tho. |
 |
| No idea what it is! |
Would it be too cruel to tell you that I'm creating space for this?

| Hope Valley FQ's |
I had to get some. No, really, I had to, I mean, I didn't want to ask Laura to send more fabric a second time and messing up the final quarter of Star Sign block with the last bits of the prints used meant I needed to get a wee bit more or re do the entire thing. So really, it was a necessary purchase. Completely... That's my story and I'm sticking to it... As if the fabric wasn't joyous enough, at the bottom of the Saints and Pinners invoice was a wee note saying they liked my blog! I know, I'm cheesy.. but that's so cool!
I'll be randomly selecting (or Ells might be) the "crappiest giveaway in quiltyblogland" winners on Saturday. Actually, I think it should be renamed cos I don't think I'll be giving crappy winnings, its more that I'm being really mean and selfish and I don't really want you to tell anyone about it, this isn't free stuff for complete strangers. Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with that at all. If it was a sponsored giveaway you bet your ass I'd want more followers cos I'm deeply insecure and love seeing an increasing number in the "followers" box... However, that is not the case here. This is from me to you, this is cos I'd love to send you all a card and a wee thank you - for reading, for laughing at me, for bossing me about, for taking the piss, and for genuinely being a fantastic bunch of people..... So, first and last reminder, see the original post and... if your names not dahn you're not gettin in.
I love that squiggly one. It's so out there. Sweet! I have to say, I have weird taste. Fabric has a mind of it's own and I like to listen. What else can I say?
ReplyDeleteI am loving that green check! I have a very similar turquoise one. who sent the wee tree? What a great wee thoughtful gift! I have plans for my HV bundle after Santa has been!
ReplyDeleteOoh, fab deliveries.
ReplyDeleteNow as for the buying, you just *had* to buy all that for one wee block? Uh huh... Mind you, it's just been pay day and I might have been on a bit of a spree myself...
Lol I like that name Saints and Pinners, very good! My fabric brain is all befuddled at the moment - I have no idea what to do with I've got, and no idea what fabrics I want to do the projects I've got in mind! ... ho hum, I'm sure a plan will form if I drink enough tea and eat enough biscuits!
ReplyDeleteI love that little tree, and frankly the Brauhaus fabric is lovely, can I trade you something you like better? I keep thinking I should also order the hope valley but have no necessity as you certainly did.
ReplyDeleteOh man! i am so hoping that ellie cat picks my name out of the hat to win your "crappy" giveaway! and hope valley will soon be mine. I honestly think it is my favorite line. i like it more than anything else.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got some scrummy HV to counteract the f'uglies!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the geometric shapes of the Alexander Henry fabric, I'd live to win it in your not-so-crappy giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love that Bauhaus one! Never seen that! My birthday is the 17th...hint! hehe! ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't beat a random act of kindness.......the first one looks a bit 60s, that would be my favourite.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the top one of your hands honey if no one else wants it. I think it would make a great bag for a christmas pressie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet surprise for you in the mail!! I love the night scene with the owls and birdies! And the Hope Valley fabric is wonderful, too. What will you make with the leftovers?
ReplyDeleteI like the middle one, it would look good with some old tweed I've got to make a teddy bear !! x
ReplyDeleteBossy? Who's bossy? Surely not this crew!
ReplyDeleteThat's so clever with the birds pecking around in the snow and the owl perched in the tree. I will have to find similar fabric someday. Or at least try to pull off a similar scene...
ReplyDeleteGood for you finding an excuse to buy HV!
I'm sure you've already got lots of keen requests for your giveaway fabrics, but if not, we are always grateful for donations to Bee Blessed. It's been a pleasure bossing you and taking the mick!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteLike Saints & Pinners, I like your blog too. I think you are very good to make room for more stash, I just keep buying so it is piled up all over the place. I need to get organised!
ReplyDeleteHaHa! Now I know why I have had two comments today on my ugly post. I am so behind in my blog reading. Love that wee tree. Who made it? Love the birds in the snow. Great imagination. Can you please give Ells a treat from me - I want to suck up and be on her good side if she is choosing the winners!
ReplyDeleteLove the tree, the fabrics you're offering? Not so much! Looks like you have some takers though so you've got plenty of room for your HV - and I'd be thrilled if a shop told me they liked my blog, I think you should take a photograph of the note and put it in your header ;o)
ReplyDeletehmmm I think I will consult Archie (The Wonder Dog) for a second opinion on the biscuits, and I'm pretty sure he'll say "bugger off" ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is this supernova quilt: http://tinyurl.com/656sccq and I really like the one underneath it too, which I think might have been Bountiful Baskets. The baskets has a style similar to what I'm doing on my current Rainy Day quilt, with bordrs around the squares... I like that style!
