12 little packages of some very treasured fabric. Those 12 little packages will hopefully be heading out into the big wide world tomorrow, once I've bought some ziplock bags and a tasty little surprise to pop in with each one. Oh, and yes I said 12 packages, in case there are any eagle-eyed Bees out there that are good at counting ;)
Today is the first day of our school holidays. As anybody in the UK could probably predict, it is pouring rain. I have 2 children in the living room doing some kind of wrestling involving cushions and armchairs, and my oldest boy is upstairs sulking. Sigh.....
I have shut the living room door and am about to dive into this delicious pile of fabric. I woke up this morning and read this post by Cluck Cluck Sew and had an overwhelming urge to pull out my bundle of Freshcut by Heather Bailey. I have been admiring it for over 2 years, but have been waiting for the perfect pattern. I've pulled some co-ordinating extras (on the left - Thankyou Jo!) I'm going to chop it all up, and ignore the children and cushions that I can see rolling around the living room floor!
Right, I'm off to start cutting :)
Happy Thursday!

Come on then spill?! Why 12? Are you farming your blocks out to someone else? lol! Tres excited to get this when I get back!
ReplyDelete12? Not likely that you're just randomly sending me the 12th pack? No thought not. I will have to resort to plan b - stealing your stash which seems to hold more treasures each time you blog!
ReplyDeleteme me. Can I be honorary 12? Looks delish.
ReplyDeleteLOL who's the honourary bee then?! My honourary bee last year was my mum....and I'm so glad I included her :-) Looking forward to seeing what you want done with this lot!!
ReplyDeleteSo who is doing an honorary block for you? Judith? Can't wait to see my wee stack!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good plan for your day. The bee packages look lovely.
ReplyDeleteOoh do I get 2!!??
ReplyDeleteSo spill; who's the honorary bee? Btw, is it the end of the month already?! I better hurry up with trudis siggy block!
ReplyDeleteMine finish school tomorrow - groan! And yes it's raining here too! Your fabrics look gorgeous - it will be a beautiful quilt Fi! Jxo
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a very good idea!
ReplyDeleteThankfully a)mine don;t finish for a few weeks yet b)they are old enough to look after themselves (the downside of that is that I am obviously a lot older than you!!)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you will get back from your bees
Oh, I can't wait to get my grubby little hands on my package! Have fun sorting out the kids! And the puppy :)
ReplyDeleteOK, I just washed my hands. They're not grubby anymore :-P
ReplyDeleteLook forward to getting my clean hands on the package and seeing what we are to make of it all :) So who is honoury number 12? Good luck with the children, we have at least another 3 weeks to go, and well, lets face it, she knows where to find me! lol Happy summer!
ReplyDeleteTo save you some postage do you want me to nip up on Saturday and collect mine? I have a few errands to run anyway...
ReplyDeleteDying to know who gets the honorary package! Also dying to receive mine :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to seeing what the bees make with those lovely parcels of fabric! And, like everyone else, I want to know who's getting the twelfth parcel! Have fun with your Fresh Cut cutting and sewing!
ReplyDeleteI am rather exciteted now ...... Wink wink
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I can't wait to see where this goes! Who wouldn't be thrilled to get a happy little parcel filled with a little bundle of cuteness like those.
ReplyDeleteGood idea with the ignoring! Mine are on hols too and the Scottish cousins arrive on Monday - eek I will be responsible for 5 kids or rather 3 kids and two new adults!
