I have had a great day today. I was on a course held at the Design Museum which was good as a) I wasn’t in the office and b) the course started late and finished early which meant c) I got to look round two exhibitions which I don’t get too do any more. When I got home I was really excited to find the postman had delivered my moo cards and some fabric from a swap, before the week long strike starts. I then spent this evening working on the doll quilt. A really good day, only slightly marred…

When I got home from work today there was a lovely package waiting for me from my swap partner in the Scrap Swap, organised by Belinda and Kate. Ellen, with the help of her daughters, sent me some gorgeous fabrics which I’m going to use in my next doll quilt.

A lovely parcel full of goodies was waiting for me when I got home this evening. My swap partner picked so many lovely things specially for me – ric rac, fabric, cute vintage patterns. Some books from Amazon finally arrived too, yep you guessed it, Bend the Rules Sewing and Denyse Schmidt Quilts. Plenty to read to get me through winter. Oh yes, and I finally figured out how to use the rotary cutter I bought off ebay months ago!

Here is a sneak preview of the fabrics that are currently winging their way across the atlantic to my swap partner, Ellen, at hurrayic. I have included a variety of old and new fabrics, and there’s a good selection of my favourite Cath Kidston fabrics. I hope she likes them all!

Newbie swap: Pick 3 items, originally uploaded by Jennifer Young. I received my first swap today – all the way from Tasmania! The package was great, lots of stickers, a cute bookmark and notepad. I’ve sent three swaps off to my partners around the world. I hope they like them.
