Want to take a peek at what I bought yesterday? Hey? Yeah I thought so. My very first Layer Cake. Only problem with these is you don't really know what you are getting as they are all wrapped in cellophane. I knew that the top fabric was pretty jolly wonderful though so guessed that the others would have the same wonderfulness about them. I was right. They are all so pretty, and don't they look fab on our sofas?
Well come on then, open it up and have a look! Help yourself to all the gloriousness which comes from new fabric. Every piece is exactly the same size, and take a look at that ribbon tie! Won't that look great on a selvage project? Can't you just smell the roses?
Oh, yes. These are probably my favourites. Love cherries!! Love paisley too. Little No. 4 recognised the paisley from her bed cover and got rather excited. I was rather excited too as she isn't the brightest when it comes to colours etc.
I am thinking since they look so great on the sofas, that these little delights will be perfect as a lap rug for the winter months. For those who are interested, this pack is call Nostalgia and put out by Moda Fabrics. I purchased it at my favourite quilting shop in Manukau - The Crafty Needle.
I think I will refer to this 'quilt to be' as The Nostalgic Quilt. I quite like that name.
Now I really must thank everyone for their very kind, supportive, wonderful comments yesterday. I hope no one felt pressured to leave a comment just because I mentioned it! I was just curious to see who was out there. And I did meet a couple of new people because of it which was very nice. Always nice to have new friends.
I've been busy with kindy three afternoons a week lately. No. 3 is starting to settle in now and I have left her for half an hour each session. Not a great deal of time for me to do anything constructive, but a small step. She is getting there slowly, but there are always tears. Poor little thing!

Now I guess I should go back to the lounge and see how many biscuits are left in the container. Probably should have another quick look at my new fabrics too! Well then, I guess it's bye for now. Bye!!

Those fabrics are GORGEOUS! I love the colours, the patterns, everything about them. My favourite one has got the be the one with the cherries and the birdies, that would make a lovely centrepiece for a romantic cushion. Yep, still suffering from the whole romance thingy, lol. How big are the pieces, btw?
Oh, and just a bit of advance, well very advance warning, I will be preparing a little swap when I get back from France, arund the 6th September, might you be interested? Shush, don't mention it to anybody yet........
Hi Liz! The fabric squares are 10inches or 25cms. I absolutely promise not to tell anybody about your little swap. Would hate for that to get out!
Those fabrics really are wonderful - I can really imagine a warm throw made from them. As you like cherries, you may like a little mystery object I'll be posting about later today...
I'd love to know where you got you layer cake from :-) And if they have online shopping ? I have seen any at online shops so far (within NZ) and our LQS doesn't stock precuts :-(

Hi Sarah. How are you?
The fabrics you bought are great! I had never heard about Layer Cake till now. I don't think you can find such kind of item here in Italy. however I think it's a funny idea!
My favourite is the one with birdies.
Hugs :)

WOW, what yummy scrummy fabrics, adorable :)
Thank you for your lovely comment on the bed cover, if you mean the patchwork one in my header, I made it from using up my seven year old daughter's baby and toddler dresses, so much better than keeping them unused and gathering dust :)
Take care
