This parcel arrived on Friday. It's from Kerry at Cottage on the Hill and it's a needlecase swap. I have to wait until November 1 to open it......I'm trying to be good......I've only squeezed it once!
I had a trip to spotlight on Saturday, mainly for towels for the new ensuite. Pretty happy with the "30% off towels" sign that greeted me as I walked in. I was so focused on towels that I didn't even look at fabric. I did however, pick up these sweet cotton ribbons. There were lots of other Christmas styles as well. The linen ribbon was from The Home Patch.
Had a "stressful" couple of hours last night trying to choose fabrics for some Irish Circles blocks. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind, but nothing seemed to work together. The centre came together so easily, I wish the blocks were the same. I ended up falling back on some old favourite reds to keep me motivated.
Maybe I need more fabric for my stash? I'm thinking Midwinter Reds could do it.
Hope you're having a great start to the week.
