Two really lucky things happened this month - one was having my laptop slide off the dining table onto the floor with a tremendously loud bang without any apparent damage (wipes sweat off forehead) and the other was winning this amazing bundle of new kona colours from Robert Kaufman. They come from Judith of Needles and Lemons whose lovely blog was one of the first I ever read. They are really beautiful fabrics and pretty much quadrupled my meagre supply of solids - I actually had to go and get a drawer from Ikea. I am so grateful and promise to try to make good use of them.
PS, do you think Birds and Bees is a good name for a beer?:-)
Lucky things come in threes! What next?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your winning!
ReplyDeleteIf the beer is good...It's a wondeful name...:-))
Yes, what's next? Lucky wotzit!!
ReplyDeleteI love birds and bees! And that fabric, super lucky!
ReplyDeleteWow, you had a great day! winning that gorgeus bundle and not damaging your laptop! I think Birds and Bees would be great name for a quilt! x Teje
ReplyDeleteOh it would, wouldn't it?!
DeleteOh super lucky on the fabric win, what a great range of solid colours you have there. A Birds and Bees quilt, a nice idea from neropost. I can't wait to see how you use all your delicious new fabric Catherine x
ReplyDeleteWow! lots of lovely colours there, also a pretty impressive line-up of beer bottles ;)
ReplyDeleteOne word for those solids - YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteZowie, Batman I love those solid colors! BIG solid color fan here.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if drinking that beer LEADS to birds and bees type behavior! (Just a thought.)
The local beer here is National Bohemian. I can attest that I have the urge to play bongos Bohemian-like after having one. ;)
Did I mention how much I like those skid colors?
That's SOLID colors. Where in the world did "skid" come from?
ReplyDeleteLucky you. A birds and bees quilt in the same blue and white would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh lovley I look forward to seeing what you do with that lovely stash.
ReplyDeletegorgeous collection - congrats on the win :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Enjoy those great fabrics :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful win Catherine, have great fun playing with those gorgeous fabrics!
ReplyDeleteIt must be tough being a beer namer, there are so many whacky names out there :)
birds and bees beer, does that lead to the "birds and the bees"? Great name! And a great win!
ReplyDeleteThey always say things come in threes, so look out for your next lucky happening! And it's funny you should ask about the beer name. I know nothing about beers or their names, but recently heard an interview about it when they were saying how critical the name of a beer was, and to look at the example of Cobra Beer, which started out as Panther Beer, but the name didn't work so they changed it and then sales took off. So, no idea whether it's a good name, but it's critical!
ReplyDeleteLucky you - how wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLucky! Those solids look wonderful! Can't wait to see what you make with them!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I'm sure you're going to make excellent use of these, but no pressure! Enjoy & wait for the need to arise! Drink one of those beers while you wait! I wax going to draw attention to that lovely looking label & ask, then I thought oh no it's from the giveaway blog, but then you commented-so lovely looking altogether!
ReplyDeleteAlso maybe it's not the thing to do but just wondered about your views on the Scottish independence vote? Feel free to ignore the question if it's irrelevant or rude or something!
