New Year Aquisitions.

But first Christmas. 

It wasn't quite over. The mail man had one more package for me. 

Look at what my lovely pal Janice sent to me. Pretty blue fat quarters.

A kit, tea and chocolate.  Of course there is a Christmas ornament, It will go on the tree next year and there is also a pretty blue star. That is hanging in my window, catching the sunlight.

Thank you Janice. I love my gift. The chocolate is gone and I have only one tea bag left.

The following day, the postie brought another package. I was recently lucky enough to win a bag of 'scraps' on a facebook group. I have to say I was not expecting this...

A whole grocery bag, filled to the brim with lovely fabrics.

I was so excited I nearly forgot to take photos.

Oh my goodness, there was so much in there it's hard to know where to start.

There are some very big scraps.

I sorted them all out into piles and bundles ready to put them away.

That black and white pile on the left below is deceptive, it's actually quite tall.

Likewise the neutrals in the middle at the bottom, there are several quite large pieces.

There were some odds and ends and some pieces that looked like orphans

Some looked like they belonged together.

The red and white fabric is another quite large piece and all the plains in the pile below are very large.

Most seem to have a triangle cut from them.

I couldn't find anymore of this blue, but there is more white.

I should be able to do something with this.

Hmm, not the best image, but there are several pieces of this bunny fabric and it's matching green, along with off cuts. Something else I should be able to work with.

The little boy who received the quilt made with these fabrics is very lucky.

There is quite a bundle of this bee hive fabric all cut into squares and plenty of the white.

Along with a bundle of neutral squares that might  play along.

There was even a completed top.

I wasn't sure about the layout of some of the fabric squares though, so decided that I would go find Jack the ripper.

It didn't take long.

Then I played shuffle on the floor and left it there before heading off to work.

That looks much better. 

Todays task is to put them all back together.

If you're wondering, yes Tony and I did head away for a couple of days, I'll share more about that another time. 

2022 has started of wonderfully for me, I hope things continue in the same way.
