When the postie just isn't fast enough!

Patience is not one of my strong points...I admit it.

I have, however, been waiting quite patiently on the postie to deliver some fabrics so that I could start a new project...(because I am sooooo low on fabric around here LOL)...

A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a happy little group on the net who've started stitching A Gardeners' Journal by Anni Downs, following a month-by-month plan. This quilt has been on my to-do list for, oh, about 5 years now, and I left a comment on one of the posts to that effect. Miss Chookyblue , the organizer of the group, decided I needed a little persuasion and encouragement...LOL...and invited me to join the group....several times :) I've had several false starts...I couldn't find my book, couldn't decide on the fabric, and then ordered the fabric, and it still hasn't arrived!

Yesterday I went fabric shopping with my bloggy buddies (you can read all about that trip here)

and ended up with this little bundle...

Mmmmmmm.....it's mostly Nicey Jane by Heather Bailey, and I have had those bolts in my hands on more than one occasion, and resisted. Not yesterday :)

Can't wait to start!

Thought you might like to see the card I made for Janelle...it's her birthday tomorrow!

Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday...after a cold and somewhat early start to take Riley to training, and a trip to the markets to stock up on fresh produce, I baked a zucchini slice, some yummy cheese and bacon pies for lunch (with fresh garden salad), and some fresh hot scones with jam and cream for afternoon tea. Does anything beat winter comfort food?
