We have been having fun with our Chinese friend this week, so not much time for stitching. Here is a "Good Luck" decoration she brought for the New Year celebrations.
She also brought us beautiful cushion covers - a shame the photos aren't at their best.
The fabrics are just lovely.
She also gave me some material for my stash. It has traditional Chinese patterns. At the moment I am just at the stroking stage :) What shall I make with these beauties?
As I am trying to learn Chinese (2nd term ), it has been fun having someone to ask about the language and culture. I have however managed to finish A tisket a tasket bom 11! Now I have all the baskets done and can start putting the top together.
Went to town today and look what followed me home ... I need some soft colours for the French project that I am about to start on.
I had to take a trip into town because I needed more batting - and my local shop has stopped selling quilting products ... "it's not popular anymore" you see! (Sorry folks! ) I finally closed my mouth and picked out some more bits for my stash from the leftovers that were almost given away!
A bit of a bother having to go to town now for everything, though. And it'll be more expensive ... I'll never make it home with just the stuff I need.

Well, now I've got the batting I can't put off quilting my Shabby Roses quilt anymore - and to tell the truth, I can't wait to see it finished :)

Bye for now,

Anne-Lise
