parcels at the door

The postman has been kind to me this week

I have joined a Liberty Club at Patchwork on Central Park , thanks to the heads up from  Kate 

& these beauties arrived yesterday

x20  6" squares to play with 

I have another liberty quilt in the works , this time for my youngest daughter Phoebe

Sometime ago I purchased some vintage French linen & a piece of dotty linen  from Shannon at petitsdetails

It arrived this morning from Paris tied with cute stripey twine ... it will make a  little bag for someone at Christmas

And from my fabric benefactor in Sydney some gorgeous Dick & Jane  print 

I & many others learnt to read with Dick & Jane 

if that is not enough the latest inspiration from Kaffe Fassett came from the Book Depository

if you haven't already found this online bookshop it is well worth a look 

living here in Australia it costs a small fortune to buy books online

sometimes the shipping is more than the cost of the book , so I was more than excited to find this site where shipping is FREE

I'm working on my pillow today , I need to quilt the front

I have decided to add piping too after watching this great tutorial

the zip insertion tutorial was also excellent & the pillow back now has a neat zip
