Fresh summery prints from Prints Charming - they feel so lovely - the weave of the fabric is so smooth and fine.

Cute Japanese fabric from Quilters Barn from our last road trip.
………..on a Monday morning like this lady - better late than never. We had our neighbours around for Christmas drinks last night so I was too tired to do Sunday stash by the time they left!
These are my stash of Christmas fabrics gathered over the years - and still waiting to be made up into something festive - there’s always next year!
Hard to believe that it’s Sunday again already! There’s not many posts happening in between Sunday Stash ones at the moment - but there’s lots happening in ‘real’ life! Four nights of gymnastic displays, Grandparents Day at school along with school swimming each day means some tired girls as well! We did go around looking at Christmas Lights on Friday night until 10.30pm which did not help at all! It was fun though. One amazing place worth a look is 13 Narracan Street, Vermont South, if you are in the area. And Saturday morning I had a very yummy High Tea with a gorgeous group of mums at this place - definately recommended! Unfortunately I forgot my camera but if I get hold of any of the photos taken I will post them just to show how lovely it is!
Now to the stash………..
A cute Kokka fabric with matryoshka dolls - from one of the road trips.
PS. Did I mention that I was given an Amitie voucher as ‘thanks’ for coaching Ella’s netball team??? So sometime soon I will be able to add more to the stash………..
I can’t believe it’s Sunday again! This week has just flown - but I have worked about 30 hours this week in between a School Dinner, Work Party, 40th birthday, Music Concert, organising the craft for a Christmas program at church, having good friends who now live about 4 hours away stay for the night and spending a morning in the city with a lovely friend who is back in Australia from Germany and meeting her gorgeous baby! (But I did manage to squeeze in that fun relaxing day visiting some patchwork shops). And that’s where I picked up today’s Sunday Stash. These two fabrics are from a gorgeous range that Julie has designed herself. Her quilt made from them is on the front cover of the current issue of Quilters Companion.
I was thinking of some cushions for the back bedroom at Sewjourn - will match the yet to be made quilts for the beds and the small quilt hanging on the wall.
Happy to be posting Sunday Stash on the correct day this week - for a list of other players head over here - thanks Tamara for hosting.
The start of December tomorrow signals the start of getting ready to celebrate Christmas at our house - decorations, cooking, cards, gifts and (hopefully) taking the time to reflect on what Christmas means to us. Our decorations will go up over the next few days so I plan on sharing a few of the special ones with you……would love to see what special decorations anyone else has to share.
Unlike Lara and Bronwyn I didn’t manage to post Sunday Stash on the correct day this week! Partly because I didn’t get back from Lancefield until after 10pm last night. Had a great weekend though - while Mal went on a Golf Weekend with 15 other dads from school a friend and I (and 6 girls) took advantage of the fact that Sewjourn was free this weekend.
The plan was to make (and write) all our Christmas Cards - and the girls were so keen they were over in the studio in their pjs on Sunday morning.
Well, I didn’t get all my cards made but did make some good progress………
As for my stash - here’s a pretty one that I bought from Foothills Fabric and Threads a year or more ago.
From Swell by Urban Chicks. It’s the only fabric I have although I love their whole range. Lots of the decorating at Sewjourn is based around their previous range, ‘Blossom’ and their newest range ‘1974′ is gorgeous too.
Whoops - late two weeks in a row!
It has to be Amy Butler fabrics this week as she is in Melbourne and I am going to see her on Thursday night - can’t wait!!!!
These are recent additions to my stash from her Daisy Chain range.
This one is for a lap top bag.
And these two will probably become cushions for our bed - the quilt on our bed is made from Amy’s first range of fabric Gypsy Caravan and these match in nicely.
Sorry about the poor quality of photos but a busy weekend and rotten cold mean I am too tired to play around to get better photos! I will try to post Sunday Stash on the correct day next week girls.
If it was 100 years that I was celebrating then I would get a letter from the Queen…….but it’s not! It’s 100 posts since I started this blog in February this year, (It’s been given a boost by participating in Blogtoberfest for the last 26 days), and I’m hoping to get lots of comments instead. Of course, that means there is a giveaway.
Why not start the new year (well the new school year after the holidays are over) with a day at Sewjourn? Four people will get the chance to come along to relax, create and enjoy for the day - and each will get to bring a friend! It will be a day of crafting in the studio (bring your own projects to work on) with morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea provided, to be held on Saturday 31st January, 2009.
Just leave a comment on this post by lunchtime this Friday (31/10/08) to be in the running. We’ll randomly draw the winners on Friday afternoon. If you mention this giveaway on your blog then let me know and you will get a second entry in the draw.
I had a great afternoon today at a ‘Girls Afternoon In’ to raise money for Breast Cancer Research. It was hosted by a lovely lady at her gorgeous house in St Kilda - yummy food, good prizes and time to sit and talk to two of my favorite girlfriends made it perfect! The girls were creative whilst I was gone……………
And to finish off the day……..this is my Sunday Stash.
