Awake

At the moment I am wide awake from all the rest I have been getting. I must say it's tough just lying around.
Thought I would post some photo's of awesome work that comes through the door at Patchwork.
This is Pat's second one of these quilts from Kaffe Fassett's book. It is gorgeous!
I never get sick of Hexagon Quilts and this one looks beautiful, can't wait to see it finished as it is now being hand quilted.

Inspiring Dolls

This is definitely top of my list of the most inspiring blogs for anyone that loves soft toys. The detail that goes into them is wonderful she certainly gets "the look"

Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC

I am now back home after a week best forgotten feeling a little worse for wear. But better than I was.
These are a few photo's I took on my trip. Funny I had been to NY a few times but thought that this museum may have been a bit stuffy only going to modern museums. . I was in awe when I started to explore it, it really would take a few days to see it all, I only got to a very small portion. As you can see for yourself it is wonderful a feast for your eyes. So Diverse! It will now be first port of call if I ever return to NYC.

New Stock Anna Maria Horner Velveteen

Sugestions for AMH Velveteens





Just arrived the gorgeous velvets from AMH at a great price comparable to what you would pay importing them yourself.
They would look great made up into a carpet bag.
Also Melody Millers fabulous novelty prints.
I will be offline for a week or more as I am having an op (girly stuff) so have a great week.

Dahlias

Every Sunday I buy flowers for myself, I think there is no better luxury to give yourself than fresh flowers.
Lucky for me the flower man at Camberwell market has the freshest flowers and seasonal ones are always a great price. Dahlias were my choice and I found this vase (bit of a strange one but I loved it) which was perfect for them as well.

NY Inspiration

New York is one of the most inspirational cities I have visited. My trip was to order the wonderful Lilith clothing that I stock in Scarlet Jones and the line didn't disappoint, it is their 20th anniversary and the clothing was wonderful. The new winter stock is just being put out at Scarlet so pop over to the blog this week and have a look, or better still come into the shop. Em has now started an online store for those who are not close.
While I was there I visited my favourite shops and took in the great displays, so creative. Thought you may like to have a look.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day to everyone, I found this funny little card at the market and thought it pretty cute! or a tad weird when I looked at it with my glasses on. anyway have a great day.
I won't be posting for a couple of weeks as I am going to a show in NY today.
All hard work though. Really! :) Meanwhile a whole lot of new fabric is due at the shop so hopefully I will get on the web when I get back. Bye.
P.S.
Scarlet Jones is having a serious final clear out of anything Summer. 70% OFF, still a lot of gorgeous Lee Mathews clothing etc.
