Happy Mail

With my birthday that's just been I have been spoiling myself with a little online spending. Well a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do! This book recently came through the mail; and it's so good.



'Simplify' by Camille Roskelley is a great read and full of gorgeous pictures to soak up. If your  a beginner quilter, like me, it's packed full of tips, diagrams and easy to follow instructions for making some beautiful quilt projects.  I'm really digging the red, white and aqua colour combo too!




I look forward to sharing some more great mail arriving soon :) x Jen

Ribbon Blanket

I saw a blanket like the one I've made a few years ago! The blanket I saw was in a designer store and had a designer price tag to go with it. A couple of weeks later my mother in law picked up a couple of cheap polar fleece blankets,  I stashed the pink one away and knew exactly what I was going to do with it.  I raced out and bought all the ribbons and then...


A couple of years later I found it in a pile of fabrics and got to work; and I'm really happy with the finished result :)


I had to pin most of the ribbons on before hand as the polar fleece stretches as it's sewn.
