Arrival from Chicago!





As promised in the previous post, I show you my last fabric order from USA.
My eldest son who lives in Chicago was so kind to fill half of his suitcase with fabrics for his mother!
Thank you so much Bob!!
I have here fabrics enough for two queen size quilts and about three or four baby quilts.
I am eager to start my new project with the blue hues : a quilt for the 60th birthday of my sister.
Those blue fabrics will complete the shot cottons of a previous order. 

A beautiful Sunday to everyone!

I came back home a few days ago from two weeks family holidays in Rhodes. We were staying at a remote place of the island with no internet! This is the reason why I was not very active on my blog recently.
We spent a wonderful time there visiting some stunning and unique archaeological sites, dreams of beaches with soft sand and warm sea. Needless to say that I had not one minute free time left for sewing!
Nevertheless quilting was on my mind as I was inspirated by some new projects. My son arrived from Chicago loaded with fabrics and I am eager to start sewing again. The weather is becoming a bit fresher now, and more favorable to such activities.

Greetings.
