Blog Hop





Plum and June
A while ago I joined a blog hop and finally it has come good and I am hopping around!
Firstly I apologise this is all new to me and I may get it all wrong but I will do my best.


Onto news.  Well I have been in the UK looking after my sisters cute miniature schnauzers.  They were an inspiration for one of my quilts and I am now making another for an online magazine - sooooo exciting.

The other thing I did whilst I was in the UK was shop for new fabric.
Well I must admit Eternal Maker in Chichester was a hit!  Had to go twice as it had all the new Cotton and Steel and all the possible fabric you could dream of.  Plus they are building a tea shop.  What fabric and cake YUM! The other shop was the quilting shop in Hampton court which was lovely.  Great helpful staff but why oh why was it soo hot in London 30 degrees and melting!

Then today was my birthday. Lots of lovely presents including the Phillipa Naylor book and some money toward one of her courses. 


Plus a lovely gift of some Cotton and Steel (I love it) and some really cute bits and pieces.  I am truly spoilt!
