Last night was good, I was left completely and utterly gob-smackingly surprised with the response to my christmas fabric ( which now has it's very own name..............'Deck your quilt's, it's christmas'!!! Well it's not but it will be!). As many of you guessed ALL THE INITIAL FAT QUARTERS ARE NOW SPOKEN FOR, whatever was I thinking ordering one yard!!!!!!!! I am currently taking reservations for a new order, so please let me know if you are interested! The cost of a fat quarter will be $10 plus shipping. For all those who have already reserved I will let you know as soon as I recieve the new batch. I hope you all working on your idea's on how you are going to be using my little sketchy doodles because for me that is utterly the completest most exiciting-ist part!!!! Getting to see what YOU do with it!! As you can see from the above and the below, I have made a start with a couple of blocks for a christmassy lap quilt. It is definately going to be christmas with a twist as you can probably decipher from my decision to include aliens in to my cocktail of crimble quilt-i-ness!!! and choppy-uppy patchwork trees with gnomes in lieu of angels, as you do!!!!!(??)!!!!!!!
Last night was also bad, having gone to bed on a high on the wrong side of midnight, we were woken by Ciara just after two with what can only be described as a seal like squawk of restrictive breathing, almost as if she had something stuck in her throat. Very scary. A dash to the hospital led to the diagnosis of kroup, an inflammation of the voicebox and upper airway. All in all not serious, now she has been treated she has to stay warm and indoors for the next couple of days. This means the fat quarters I got all ready and packed last night to send today will have to wait a day or so to be shipped. I really hope that is OK with all of you, I will let you know when I get them into the post though:)
Sorry about the lack of pics today(!), now time for a huge tidy-up and a crumpled mummy rest or six!!
Cute use of your Christmas fabric -- just as I knew you would. The inclusion of the aliens is inspired :). And your fabric goes so well with Flea Market Fancy. I really hope they reprint it! With your fat quarter on reservation and the face that I just ordered more Amy Butler and some Heather Bailey Fresh Cut last night before bed, I dreamed of fabrics again. Does this count as an over-fabricated brain?

I would love myself one of your fat quarters when you get them. It's never too early to start planning Christmas projects.

'Oh my' I hope Ciara is better soon - it is soooooo scary when things like this happen.
Sending all our love and warm wishes,

Hello Aneela, I just wanted to let you know that I referenced you on my own blog. I actually wanted to email you, but I couldn't find an email on your blog, but I wanted to let you know. I had been inspired by some of your work, and wanted to give credit to that fact. I hope you don't mind, but if you do, let me know and i will remove it.
