Mail Delivery and a little shopping indulgence

I went to the mail box yesterday and 

found this yummy Batik Polka Dot 

fabric from Phyllis.  

Thank you Phyllis, I love it!

I wonder how she knew I have an 

attraction for Polka dots and green.    

Phyllis read my guest post over at 

Stash Manicure and asked me where

I got the pattern for my mini star quilt.

I told her I designed it myself, so I 

was tickled pink she liked it.  I was 

happy to send her a copy, after all 

we like to share with fellow quilters,

right?  So what a nice surprise in 

return.   

I picked up my sewing machine last
week and found some embroidery 
cards for my machine marked down
by 75%.   I couldn't be more pleased
with such a deal,  so I gave in to my
weakness and indulged myself with
these three cards.   My machine is 
getting older so I was thrilled to find
these cards.  

I decided to play a little after I got 
home and made this for a future bag.  
Isn't that Polka dot heart adorable?  

Back in July our local quilt shop had
a huge sale on fabric, marked down 
to $4.50 a yard.  Who can pass up a 
sale like that?  I love a great bargain, 
so this is what I settled on.  

Lots of Polka dots and florals for 
making aprons or bags for Christmas 
gifts.  I saw the bottom floral fabric 
"Olive Rose" by Valori Wells and
couldn't pass it up.  I asked for the
coordinating fabrics, but alas they
were sold out.  So at least I didn't
have to face the mob of shoppers 
that morning.  


Thanks for your kind comments, they
warm my heart.   I hope you have a 
creative weekend!
