the generous and lovely!

i have only been blogging for a couple of months now, but i have really enjoyed it! i have met some great people, have had LOADS of amazing inspiration on a daily basis, and have been blown away from the generous world of bloggers!

I got totally lucky a couple of weeks back with winning imagingermonkey's scrap bag (which i have been putting to good use all morning!), then with the SEWN launch, i was totally spun out...
I won 2 giveaway's!! I won a pin cushion, sewing magazine and an amazing book by author and blogger Rashida Coleman-Hale of iheartlinen! It looks like a beautiful book and I can't wait to see it : )

Then...i was the re-draw winner over at ningiu where i won 3 Kaffe Fasset fat quarters, from the organic dots range! Beautiful ; )

THEN... i wasn't even a winner, but Bron over at wippetgood was way too kind and sent me an amazing parcel of vintage fabrics which arrived today!!! YAY!!!

let me show you!

Now isn't this just amazing! i feel so lucky and blessed!! and i appreciate all the generosity and beauty that everyone has passed this way!!!

LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Happy sewing this weekend beautiful people...stay tuned, because my vintage picnic rug, which has been inspired by all of you, is coming together really well!

log cabin- and the going is slow ; )














but i am still totally loving it! i know i am supposed to use scraps, but i don't own any of those, so i ordered some more designer fabric sample packs from fabric closet on etsy, and i am off and running (or is that off and sewing!) i have done like 16 or something now, so yeah, about 90 to go!! what the, i will be 103 before i get to snuggle with this beauty...but at least i DO think its a beauty!
what do you think?
I am still trying to work on my friends picnic rug, but i am struggling to find anything at my local op-shop's. trying to find pastel-y floral vintage fabric...sheets, pillow cases, anything really, but no luck...Do you know of any vintage sheet swaps going on lately?
Maybe i should try and organise one? would anyone be keen to join me?
