I love getting mail these days! Look what arrived today — a gorgeous sewing kit from a friend in the U.S. I was expecting the parcel and the fabrics you’ll see in a minute but this sewing kit was a fabulous surprise!
When opened, there are oodles of pockets in which to put scissors, a small cutting mat and ruler, a pen, rotary cutter — you name it! I know this will get a lot of use. But I oh, so love the fabrics she used to make this! It’s very rich and warm looking.
These are what I had expected to find when I opened the envelope — some more fabulous black prints for the black and white stars seen here.
On Saturday we had gone up to the LQS where I had picked up a few more black prints. The black and white quilt is going to be, I think, really quite striking when it’s done. This is a picture of the fabrics that arrived today along with those I found at the LQS this weekend.
I have decided though to add some larger star rectangles to the mix. Along with the small ones, I’m going to make some with the 1.5″ diamonds. This week I plan to get these black prints cut and printed with some of both the 1.5″ diamonds and .75″ diamonds and the related setting bits and make some of the larger ones.

you are a lucky lady indeed. I received one exactly like this froma quilting friend last year. I have to tell how I use mine…I open it and lay the opening flap on my sewing table and then place my machine on top of it, so that ithe working end of the sewing kit hangs down and to my right. The weight of the machine keeps in place and I have all my tools handy when ever I need them, and what is so nice is that when I pack up to go to a workshop or spend a day sewing with a friend, I just lift my machine, fold up my kit, pack it in my machine case and away I go…so quick and easy! You will love it! Wendy
