Parcel from USA

What a beautiful day : the postman brought me a parcel from USA! So exciting!!

It is a present from an overseas Quilty friend. She is such a generous person : when she learnt that there is no quilt shop in Greece, she felt sorry for me and thought of sending me a surprise. What a delicate attention, I am so grateful for this!

Together with gorgeous yardages she added hexagons ready to be assembled and a charming rabbit lace panel. For sure my friend grasped my romantic soul!

Projects are already taking shape in my mind for a new quilt with those great fabrics. However I have to wait for next autumn to start, when returning from my holidays in France.

Antique Quilts and Antique Doll Quilts from USA

Arriving in London last month, I had the good surprise to find that my parcel was there, waiting for me!

I had bought auction on ebay two antique quilts and a collection of doll and crib quilts and I was expecting them eagerly! Happy to see that they were even more beautiful than expected! I will lay them and take pictures soon, to show them to you. I think that little by little I begin to become a quilt collector! By the way, there is a question that I would like not to be asked again : "But what are you going to do with them". I wonder why this question about quilts and not about other kinds of collections...

I love this picture I took in Portobello Road. Inspiring colors, aren't they? I am crazy about those small houses! This street belongs to Notting Hill Gate district - London. There was shot this lovely film "Notting Hill", with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. In fact when you walk in London it's often like being in a film. Some places are so wonderful... a dream of a city!!!

I wish a great day to everybody!
