A random Monday post...
So much has been happening here the past few days - it has been like Christmas in July May! Here is just a brief recap...
Last Thursday I received a beautiful pillow from Rachel (wooden spoon) in the X-factor pillow swap. Her drunkards path pillow is filled with so many gorgeous fabrics and the circular quilting is amazing. It looks right at home here on the bed with a couple of the other pillows from the swap.
Then on Friday the first set of Chicopee feathers from the AusModBee arrived on my doorstep from Jenn (Penny Poppleton) - it is so exciting to see how these look.
On Saturday I caught up with one of the other members of the AusModBee group when she came back here for a family celebration. I made Cat an Amy Butler zippered pouch and she was kind enough to give me one of her wonderful panels from the etsy store that she has with Vanita - don't you just love that pink galah!!
This is what the whole panel looks like when made up into a pillow cover - I really like this one as "Dirty Dancing" is one of my favourite movies.
And of course Sunday was Mother's Day so I was totally spoiled - a yummy cooked breakfast and some great pressies from my family including the biggest box of chocolates I have ever seen!
Then today I received a swap package from Leona - I had sent her a bundle of the Sarah Fielke "On the Pond" fabrics a little while ago and she has sent a wonderful parcel of fabrics in return including the Art Gallery "Color Me Retro" range by Jeni at In Color Order with coordinating solids, and some of Malka Dubrawsky's "A Stitch In Color" which I love as well, along with many other texty fabrics. Thank you so much Leona - I really do like swapping fabric across the miles with you:)
Later this week I have a blogiversary giveaway coming up, and then there is the Bloggers Quilt Festival which runs from 17-31 May - more info here.

ReplyDeleteWow, awesome mail! Love that cushion panel from Cat :o) How cool that you guys met IRL!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! It is Christmas! Love th pillow. It's just gorgeous. And your fabric swap landed you with a pile of beauties. Yum!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely week of goodies Kirsten.
ReplyDeletewow - lots going on and what great swaps!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that's an amazing haul, puts my 3 parcels from Pink Castle to shame ;o)
ReplyDeleteYou got a wonderful pillow in the swap, and all the rest of your goodies are also great.
ReplyDeleteYou're having a good week! Love that cushion and the panel. And everything else for that matter.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh what a fabulous week of goodies!! That cushion is just gorgeous, I love it, great fabrics and design. Gorgeous fabrics in your swap package too. And those Chicopee feathers - that is going to be one beautiful quilt. I've got time set aside this weekend to sew mine up.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest will be very jealous of that box of Roses - they are her absolute favourites - she gave me a (smaller!) box for Mother's Day, and we accidentally left it at Mum and Dad's!! (I picked up a replacement box today though while I was doing the groceries, she was so happy).
So great to meet you on Saturday. I have your little Amy Butler pouch sitting on my cutting table. I will put some pics on the blog when I post about your feathers. Have a good week, Catherine.
that panel is so dang cute! think I need one -- such lovely mail days you've had
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pillow to receive.
