Good morning blog world have been missing in action for a while due to lots of inputting on the fast growing web site.  So since last we met I have put on 39 Kona solids Photographed and put on the cottons, really pleased with this section as you can see the colours well even better if you magnify it. Pins and needles are on So things are progressing nicely.  Got a delievery of batting which I need to put on and this lovely collection Ashbury Heights by Riley Blake. Lots more to come including pre cuts from Robert Kaufman (Hexies, Roll ups and charm squares) batiks and lots more between now and January next year.
