FMF Fabric Galore!

Oh wow! Look what came in the mail today (I think my heart may have skipped a beat!):


Not one, but two parcels of fabric. After my desperate plea last week for more Flea Market Fancy fabric by Denyse Schmidt, I was given some great leads of where I might find some right here in Australia. These two parcels arrived from interstate today and inside ...


These fabrics were sourced from Fred the Needle, Addicted to Fabric, Canberra, and Just Patchwork, Tuncurry, NSW (~very pricey~). My favorite here is the lime green Bouquet. I could finally breath a sigh of relieve when I found these parcels on my doorstep. (The anticipation - only a fellow fabric addict might understand)!

I am still enjoying my own block party. I have pieced the blocks together, added a border or two and it is now ready for the next stage. The batting is having a nice long soak in the bathtub (wish it was me), and I plan to make the backing tonight.


Here is a sneak peek! I wish it wasn't so hard to take a decent photo. I am a complete novice at taking photos and often need to take many shots for one ok photo. The winter sun/clouds only add to my light problems. And why is it that white fabrics look blue in my pictures? Any tips? All would be much appreciated.
