Doin' a happy dance (again) LOL

edited:  with all the bother with blogger over the last two to three weeks, I thought I would repost this one - it deserves a special mention

I have received some more lovely packages in the mail this week.

First up from Pat (no personal blog, but see HERE)

All that lovely applique - I am so in awe of people who can do applique ;-)

Thank you so much for all your hard work, Pat.  It is lovely.

My Towel Topper is ready, but I just have to work out how to use the buttonhole attachment on my new sewing machine, and then it will be in the mail to my partner, along with a tried and true easy peasy pasta recipe.

Next up are some pics of some online shopping I did.  I was very brave and bought some fabrics from USA - the Aussie $$ is just too good not to at the moment.

I am so very tempted to use the above fabric and make up the Birdie Stitches blocks - it would be a real challenge for me to do some embroidery, and I am only 5 months behind ;-)

These fabrics came from Fabric Flair before they closed.  Beautiful fabrics, excellent customer service - my only regret is that I didn't buy more.
