Last weekend I went to a local quilt exhibition. Unfortunately I can’t show you photos of the quilts as I think there are permission issues. However, I bought some goodies. Here’s what I bought…

a cute pincushion

a lovely hand made card and some lavender pouches

some Japanese fabric

and some funky fabric

From the quilt show I went to a store with a sale and got some gorgeous fabrics for $5 per metre.

Later in the week I washed an old quilt but seeing it on the line in the sunshine made me realise that it still is one of my favourites even though (or perhaps because) it’s not perfect.

I also had a go at making a New York Beauty block from scraps and while there is certainly room for improvement I’m quite pleased  with it.

Then yesterday the postie brought a large box to my door.

And here’s what was inside

an early Mother’s Day present! Aren’t I lucky?

I hope all you mothers out there enjoy your day on Sunday and are remembered by your offspring no matter where in the world they are. Happy Mother’s Day!
