...and now...

Mattress mission accomplished - it went exactly according to prediction - why don't they build mattresses with handles!!! Or at the very least, with less slippery fabric. It really was a bit of a giggle, but we got there and it is now tucked away in the loft for winter. So, I've spent the past week loading up the studio, arranging and rearranging until I got something that ''worked'', and playing with some of the new fabrics along the way. This is what it's looking like now ...

It's a pretty little room - am really happy with how it looks and feels. It's got nice vibes! Course that could have something to do with the fact that it's full of fabrics that I love...

This is a new range from Moda - called "Looking Back" - it's got a real country feel to it - gorgeous blues, tans and reds - been a while since I've 'done' country, but I was tempted when shown these fabrics - quite yummy patterns and colours. I've also been playing with some very very very nice new fabrics from another Moda range called ''Evening Mist'' - the softest gentlest colours ever. I'll show you next post 'cos I should have it finished by then.

Here's a couple of new patterns that arrived this week - this from Simone Gooding who designs under the name of "May Blossom". I've not had Simone's patterns before - isn't this gorgeous!

This is another of Simone's patterns - so beautiful.

And this is Marg Low's lovely little Sweet Heart Birdie pattern - very sweet indeed!There's plenty more to come but that's my lot for today - have got birdies wings to bead, and strips of fabric to stitch.

Happy stitching
