Look what Came in the Mail today.
A fantastic gift from SandyB with the McCalls Quilting book with the Cubism quilt - and many more Inklingo-able projects. some fabric cut to size to press to the freezer paper....to go through my printer to make the diamonds in Inklingo, and a printed sheet to show me how she fitted the number of shapes to the page. Also some ready cut and marked.
I feel so spoint...
Thank you Sandy...they are beautiful!

Also ...from the Cotton Club  an Isabelle  fat roll...yummy!
Never heard of a fat roll before...but looks great.


Last but not least - some Micro-brushes to clean my sewing machines...and some aurofil thread for my machine quilting.
Now to wonder what to do with whats left of today.

I meant to post these before I went off to Perth.
No idea how they ended up in my car :)
Not sure what I will do with them - or when !!

Look what came in the mail today.

What a wonderful book!  Well worth waiting for.



Yesterday sewing!

The first 2 rows of my POTC going together...
I am halfway with these 2 - 7 more rows to complete after this


Practise machine quilting.

The white I did with great frustration...I couldnt get the tension right and was trying different threads.
 In the top and bobbin.
Then I put the BSR foot on the machine, ,which I have been having trouble with, and did some sewing on the blue fabric.  I used BSR 2 with the large clear foot, and much to my surprise,I actually managed to use it a lot better.
This morning I did some more squiggles with it, on the blue and now I am a lot happier.  I am using silk thread top and in the bobbin...so I may get some more machining done on the Prism quilt later.
So Joanne  I am keeping up with  my daily practising.

Off to have a read of my wonderful new book, and to sit, listen to my audio book and do some more hand stitching on my POTC quilt.

Some new fabric which arrived yesterday.
I am itching to get to it...and not just for POTC blocks which I have a few more to do yet .
I guess it will also lend itself to the 1.5" POTC collection Orange peel???
All the fabric is by Peggy Toole for Kaufman
