The Fabric I Won is Here! :)
Hiya folks. I was just emptying the dishwasher when the door buzzer
sounded. I thought it must be the parcel that I arranged to have delivered today and which has a customs fee, so I went and fetched my chequebook. The UPS man said there was no charge, so that was a bit odd until I opened it. It is the competition fabric and it is waiting to be washed! I counted it all up and there are 15 meters, and - they gave me 3.5 meters of the dark blue watery swirls, which was my favorite when I viewed the collection online. There is a meter and half of the dark red swirls. I am in heaven. There is a meter of light blue, a meter of light green, a meter of pale yellow (these are all crackled looking) and various meter lengths of what looks like brightly colored mosaic pieces from a smashed vase, if you know what I mean. I have lengths of the mosaic effect in blue, green and a multicolor. If my eczema weren't so bad, I would be swimming in it just now. (The sizing drives my skin crazy). As it is, I think Sasha (QI) is in there just now making "tents" out of the fabric. She likes helping, and pretending she's camping I think. That means another big fabric parcel is still to come. This must be Fabric Day. Oh joy! They gave me a free pattern as well, and I can't wait to start making stuff out of this lovely fabric. Thanks for letting me share. -- Jo in Scotland |

Hullo Jo
Sounds wonderful. I can only imagine what it must be like to be surrounded by so much lovely fabric. I saw your name in the magazine this month!! and had a little smile - I know her g You'll have a great time thinking up what to make with it. Will they all co-ordinate with one another - or will it have to be several quilts?!! .. In article , Johanna Gibson writes Hiya folks. I was just emptying the dishwasher when the door buzzer sounded.
