The postman always rings twice

Actually, the postman doesn't ring at all at our place! I'd be happy if he'd just ring once, so that I didn't have to keep checking the mailbox when I am expecting something special! Good mail for me this week.
Delicious 'Nicey Jane' from Z&S Fabrics - I have a quilt planned for these.
And a copy of Material Obsession by Australian girls Sarah Fielke & Kathy Doughty. This has been on my 'must-have' list for a while and I found it for a bargain here. (Unfortunately, they have put the price up again). The book is every bit as inspiring as I expected from these girls.
I have discovered a nifty site for all you Aussie book lovers out there. It is called Booko and helps track down the least expensive price in Australian dollars for whatever book you fancy. Have a great week, Bloom x

  9. Oh, fabrics are lovely.

    I want to get the 1st MO book, have put it on my birthday wishlist.

    Have MO2 and spent most of the weekend reading and dreaming of making ALL the quilts - but starting with one, having just brought the Kite template for Jazz Hands.

  13. Hello 'Bloom',
    I chanced upon your blog some time back and saw the fantastic stuff you make!!! Simply love the colors and combination you use.
    I made a journal cover for my daughter, using your tutorial. My daughter loved it!! I thought I'd drop in a line to say thanks for the easy-to-follow instructions..
    Bye for now..
