I'm Baaaaack!! After the most glorious and amazing wedding and honeymoon a girl could ever possibly dream of! Every part of it was complete perfection and I promise to be back here with a wedding blog post very soon when I receive all of my photos! I simply cannot wait to share my wedding fun with you!
But in the mean time I just had to share with you the exciting delivery that arrived while I was living it up in paradise. Yes.... eeeeek, my advance bolts of "Toy Tales" arrived and are in my hot little hands! I am just so excited and so thrilled with how this collection has come together. I keep looking at it and dreaming of what to do with them... and yes, there is a little stage fright, as always!
I have so many faves in here, and half of the problem is just in deciding which ones to use first!
So while I ponder such important dilemmas, I have had some fun making up some delicious fat quarter bundles!! "Little bundles of Happiness" as I was calling them last night to my husband (hehe, had to use the "h" word). And of course to celebrate I need to offer a fun "Toy Tales" giveaway! I would love to share 2 advance bundles with you all. One will be drawn from the blog here and one from my facebook page (feel free to enter both!). Please just leave a comment to be in the running and maybe even mention what you would like to see me create from these fun fabrics. So much fun!!! Good Luck :)
And of course while I am talking about giveaways, I cannot forget to draw the names for the pattern giveaway I left you with. I have decided to draw five names, which are.....
Deborah, Michelle Dickie, Cara Rotter, Bard Conroy and Erin. Make sure you all email me with your choice of pattern from 2012 and your postal address so I get them out asap, and congrats.
So, until I can come back with my fun wedding post, make sure you comment to be in the running for your own pre-release "little bundle of happiness". I cant wait to see what you will do with it! Oh an just so you know, "Toy Tales" should be hitting stores in the next month or two (YAY!!) and is produced by "Windham Fabrics".

Oh, what to make?! I'd do a pram blanket, a taggie blanket and use the scraps to make fabric covered buttons for hairclips and hairties. Gorgeous!

I adore this fabric. I'd love to make quilts for my little nieces and nephews. I'd also use it to make the characters from your book 'Sewn Toy Tales'. I'd also love to see you create some kids clothes out of it and some cute bags as well.

Congratulations on your recent marriage - looking forward to seeing the wedding photos. What would I do with the bundle of gorgeous fabrics? The first thing that came to mind was cute clothing for toddlers.

I have a new little "bundle of happiness" in my life - my baby grandson Flynn. I would love you to make a new quilt pattern especially for little boys. I would be happy to have either bundle of fabric though, as I have 4 special beautiful granddaughters as well. I am truly blessed :) Can't wait to see your wedding photos!

On this glorious sunny Melbourne day...I was thinking of a kids picnic blanket. How much fun! Eating yummy food in the park talking about the characters on the fabric. PS. can't wait to see some pictures of the wedding - Congrats.

Yum yum, not sure what I'd envision, perhaps something from your honeymoon? Or a new critter, what cute little Aussie critter you ask? You know me, I vote kangaroo, hedgehog?

It seems to me that whatever anybody makes - it just has to be beautiful. Amongst a huge range of possibilities I would like to make some pinnies and some patch bibs for the little ones in my life.

Congrats on the wedding, wishing you many years of happiness together.
I would use the fabric to jazz up some simple white t-shirts and onsies for my little girls.
