Lucky me!

Look at what was waiting for me when I got back from holiday! A little while back I won Angela at So Scrappy's 500th blog give-away. And what a wonderful selection of goodies I won. There's an oh-so-useful seam ripper; a little roll of strips and some dinky little squares, lovely bright colours that will go together perfectly once I've decided on a pattern. A windmill template (I love that pattern) and some perfectly cut strips to use with it, exactly the right width. A complete kit to make a quilt called Cosmos in Bloom (I should be able to show you that pretty soon as I got started on it straightaway after our friends left on Sunday and have just got started on the quilting). And a terrific book called Mindful Meandering, which has umpteen patterns for continuous line quilting which I know is going to get an enormous amount of use.

Quilting has been a bit of a bugbear for me but the Mindful Meandering book, together with another book that I bought recently showing simple ways to build up single motifs, is going to absolutely transform my quilting I'm absolutely certain. Well, together with lots of practice I suppose. I don't imagine I can just wave the books over my quilts like a magic wand!

So, many, many thanks Angela for a wonderful package.
