A Fireman And Some Sheep

Last week saw me receive some wonderful things in the mail from a few of my lovely friends in Quilt Club Australia.

I won a giveaway over at Samelia's Mum and received this Fireman Sam DVD. Master 2 loves it. Thanks Anorina!

The lovely Kat from Diary Of A Flutter.Kat sent me this gorgeous little piece of fabric (and a lovely card) from her stash. She had fussy cut one of these gorgeous sheep and used it in one of her bee blocks. I commented on her post and asked her what fabric it was as it reminded me of my son's book Where Is The Green Sheep?, which he LOVES. She was so kind as to offer to send me some of hers! Thanks Kat! Now I have to decide what to make him with it.

After cleaning up my sewing area I picked up this glass jar from Spotlight for $8.99 to put my threads in. I just love it.

Not Much Sewing Going On Here

I have done hardly any sewing this week. I think I lost my sewjo. Either that or I have just been too tired. Or it could be the fact that Season 2 of Game Of Thrones started a few weeks back and I have been on the couch with popcorn watching that at night. I did manage to make one quilt block (for my scrappy improv block quilt), but I just wasn't feeling it so I stopped at one.

Anyway, apart from no sewing, I have had a productive week.

Chicken Noodle Soup made in the Slow Cooker - Yum!

Prepping my backyard for artificial turf - more to come on this

Yesterday morning I had an email from my cousin Renae, asking me if I would please make a quilt for her daughter's birthday which is in a month. Of course! It appears that this is just what I needed to get me sewing again, a new project! Miss T is very girly and does dancing so I came up with this fabric selection....

A mix of pastels and brights and I got some baby pink coloured homespun for sashing. At this stage I think I will use the wonderful Piece O'Cake Quilt tutorial from Samelia's Mum. I have been wanting to try it and this is the perfect opportunity. I can't wait to get started!
