Five Things Friday #5

It’s been a really good week this week!


First up, I went to the rose nursery and bought some more roses. So, I had 109 and with these new ones the count is now up to 114. Here’s one of them, the absolutely divine Julia’s Rose.


There’s nothing better than coming home from work and finding some happy mail on the doorstep. This is the giveaway I won from This Mom Quilts a few weeks back. It’s a lovely haul of low volume fabric (including some blueberry park that I’ve been drooling over); some ribbon to bring my gift styling up another notch; a pencil case; some hexie templates and a needle keeper. Thanks Amanda, too generous!


I signed up for the Modern Quilt Guild mini swap and received an email with my partner info on Wednesday. 



One of the suggestions was to make a collage for inspiration for our swap mate. This is mine, clockwise from top left the makers are Libs Elliott, Cynthia from Ahhh Quilting, Wendy from Quiltamour and Svetlana from sotak handmade.


Don’t you just love the way plants will grow in any crack available. This is the lovely delicate looking Australian Native Violet.


Linking up with Amanda at Gypsy Moon Quilt Co for Five Things Friday.

Have a great weekend!
