This week was one of those weeks where I wasn’t planning on buying anything and other than the arrival of my Japanese quilt block book, I wasn’t expecting to have anything new. But then I got some squishy mail!
I won these 2 fat quarters from Richard and Tanya Quilts for linking up with their Friday Finishes linky! The bluey green floral print is so beautiful and the dragonflies remind me a little of Good Fortune… but pink! No plans as yet for these pretties. And is the card Richard sent with the package just beautiful?! Very quilty!
And then on Friday afternoon my husband finished work early so that he could look after the kids while I did some substitute teaching. As I left, he told me to feel free to stay out later and grab a coffee or whatever… So I grabbed a little whatever…
I just realised now as I added the picture that I got dragonflies. Again! These three are headed into my Japanese sampler quilt stash. It’s hard to photograph properly, but those swirls are actually slightly golden in colour. And that textured solid is only a 50cm cut… I’m thinking I should get more and use it as my basic go-to solid for this quilt.
Got any new additions to your stash or notions? Link up with me at Sunday Stash at Finding Fifth!

Some very lovely additions. I really like the subtle crosshatching in that blue print. I would definitely get more. I’ve been following Richard and Tanya too, and it’s amazing how much he’s done since he started earlier this year.

I have a thing for Japanese indigo fabrics and dragonflies too. So am interested in your Japanese sampler quilt. You made me laugh with the ‘whatever’ comment!
