Happy mail by SewBlossomHeart, on Flickr
This week has seen some very happy mail for this lucky little girl! Many months ago now, I posted on Facebook about Sakura Park and how I was adding it to my Santa list as it was being released just before Christmas. Santa piped up and said that I should keep an eye out for it… Santa being my BFF. I knew she had ordered it and was expecting a charm pack, or maybe a layer cake if I was really lucky! But no, my gorgeous gorgeous BFF sent me a whole fat quarter bundle! It arrived a few days before Christmas and my mean ole hubby made me wait for Christmas Day to open it. I obeyed. It’s such a sweet line! I’m not sure what to do with it yet, but it’s definitely getting added to the Precious pile!
I also won a very generous prize from Nicole at 1 Choice 4 Quilting – a Little Apples jelly roll and 3 coordinating yards from the range for backing/binding!! She very nicely allowed me to pick 3 yards of 3 different prints so that I could play with piecing the backing.

I’ve previously played with this range with a charm pack that I ironically also won when it first came out, and I have used the Buttons Pencil yardage for binding for a couple of projects now. I like the pop of red!
