Stash Building

I spent a lovely weekend by the sea with some great friends!

We took a break from eating and chatting to visit the lovely Alice (Fabric Yard) and drool over her gorgeous fabrics!


Here are my purchases (yes you are seeing Christmas fabrics there!) with a little jar of lovelies I picked up in The French Rooms, Bushmills.

Alice has so many fab fabrics it was hard to stick to what I needed.  Check out her full range here and a brilliant new website. With £1 flat rate P&P you get a great deal, and stay tuned here for a wee giveaway later in the week.

When I got home, I pegged up 12 quilts on my washing line! 


These are Bee Blessed quilts which will soon be shipped out to Zimbabwe Orphan Care.  In fact 13 quilts will be going out to keep 13 beautiful adopted children warm during the cold African winters (as you can see, I could only fit 12 onto my line!).


Some of them were donated by a friend of Bee Blessed.  Those of you who are regular contributors may recognise some of the other quilts we have worked on this past year.

These quilts go out with our prayers & blessings of comfort, warmth, peace and hope. Thank you for being a part of this blessing.

I hope you all enjoyed a great weekend.
