Accident with the Enter key...

A while ago (a loooong while ago) I won some lovely vintage sheet fat quarters from Jacquie of Hazlenuts
I couldn't cut into them...if you could see and feel them, you would be the same I am sure.  I wanted to do them justice and find the perfect project to use them for.

Well, then I had an accident with the enter key....and somehow these solids turned up at my place... 

Put them together and a bit of magic happened...

This pattern, from "Quilting in No Time", is the inspiration for the quilt I'm going to make from my little stash of fabrics.

 I've even worked out how to cut the fat quarters so I use every inch of the fabric.

I have started cutting them and it didn't hurt one little bit...I'm happy for them that they are going into a great quilt.

A very happy accident indeed!

I am having a giveaway for Blogtoberfest 2012 on this post here.

Living in a material world...

Material: A lovely parcel of vintage sheeting arrived recently and were a lovely surprise after a hard days work and some of the emotional upheaval I've been through.

There are 5 lovely crisp fat quarters. I have been playing with them and photographing them in different ways (no I didn't win two sets!). I fear that I have now been bitten by the "vintage sheet lovin' bug" and am holding Jacqui totally responsible. I have to admit that I thought it was a bit funny - all the hype around the sheets, but I totally understand it now - there is something quite exciting about the colours, the texture, the history...I have even already picked out a couple of solid colours that will be used to go with some of the fabrics...there will be a least one cushion cover being whipped up soon. Thanks so much Jacqui for these beauties...you really brightened up my day in more ways than one.

Materialistic...Nic from CreativeDisorganization blogged about some lovely fat quarters she found at Spotlight and me being the copycat I am just needed them as well. I went after my visit to the dentist (oh yes I've had a great week!) but couldn't find them for the "special" price. Never mind...I found this lot instead...Paisley and Christmas in the one piece....ooh yeah!

Materialism...Fluffy pom poms destined for Meet Me at Mikes:

Mental...And finally one of the best things for keeping sane in the face of the madness that can be family life...the last of the square in a square blocks for the next border of the quilt variously known as... 

"I <3 Paisley"

"Mariners Compass"

"The Paisley Nightmare"

"That Giant UFO that I'm not quite sure what to do next with..."

It is actually coming together and I'm a really getting quite fond of it, fiddly blocks and all!!
