A little pick me up arrived today in the form of a squishy package. I had ordered some fabric for my latest basket quilt at the start of the month but with the post the way it is at the moment, It finally arrived today. (the top and bottom fabrics)
I now have a lovely stash just waiting to be cut into... the grey spotted fabric on the bottom will be for the outer borders and the others will make up the centre basket blocks. Can't wait to cut into these... but need to finish off those little dresses first. School holidays coming up so there will be time to start then.

I love this pattern and have made one in reds as a gift but the liberty fabrics go quite well too. I must make myself one, one day...
There are a few more to be revealed once they arrive at their destinations.
I just wanted to share a picture of one of my orchids. I have two the same that have been resurrected after not flowering for many years. They are both yellow and the flowers are smaller than they should be but each year they are 'less yellow' and a little bigger. As far as flowering they are going great guns with at least 10 spikes on each one. Gotta be happy about that.
Hope everyone is having a great week so far!
cheers
Marina

Your minis using the Liberty fabric are beautiful Marina. Love the pot and flowers, I think I remember pears from a while back, maybe Anne was making them or one of the other Melbourne Girls? The orchid is beautiful, what is the secret to getting them to flower, I have a few outside and they are not happy, the inside ones keep flowering so are ok. Lovely to see your co workers, they are happy to be with you.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say lovely fabric selection.
