My design wall is getting crowded...

 with Round Squares!!


 I started with my fat quarter set of Summerville fabrics and have pulled matching favourites from my cupboard. I've even cut into some of my very special Tula Pink fabrics...
I'm still narrowing down the ideas for the final layout. For the moment I'm just enjoying choosing fabrics and hearing my sewing machine hum!


I had some fun mail last week...
This sweet Owl arrived from Melody from The House On The Side Of The Hill blog as her May gift in her Year of Gifts. The owl is an original pen and ink sketch on fabric drawn by Michele Palmer. Melody beautifully mounted it in a fabric frame and sent a special hanger so it was ready to go straight on my wall. I've become very fond of Mr Owl!! Such a lovely gift- Thank You Melody!!!

This book has been the talk of the town recently in blogland. It seems as though everyone is getting stylish in a zakka way. Thanks to a giveaway over at Leanne's blog of Daisy & Jack I now have my very own copy. I've bookmarked quilte a few things I'd like to make... Thanks Leanne!!!

Just one more bit of show and tell... Shay at Quilting In My Pyjamas recently wrote a post about her handbag collection. I thought I'd share a photo of my current handbag...
