Christmas came early.

I have been so blessed to have very sweet and generous quilting friends by way of the web. Other than my friend Mary, I don't know anyone in the "real world" who sews at all. I really appreciate my blogging friends, they are a constant source of encouragement and inspiration.
Speaking of those friends, Christmas came early this week via this wonderful package from my friend Aneela!
She made me this beautiful mini quilt featuring many fussy cut prints...
...and this pretty little mug rug, featuring her very own fabric line, Sherbet Pips. I've used it the last two mornings with my morning cup of coffee. And how cute is that Cath Kidston pin cushion?? That is one of my favorite shops.
And last, some of her Sherbet Pips. I'm so excited to make a couple things for myself out of them. What a sweetheart she is!! I love everything. :)

Projects for ME are definitely next on the sewing agenda. I'm a little burned out from all of the Christmas sewing that has been going over here the past couple weeks. I'm thinking a patchwork zipper pouch, a needlebook, maybe a crochet hook organizer...

Okay, off to wrap a few gifts with the boys and watch Spiderman. Weston is really into superheroes right now, it is pretty fun.

Hope you are having a really great Friday!
xoxo, Angela

oooh what a wonderful package! I found Aneela's blog about a week ago and I absolutely love it. I also love her new fabric line, do you know if it's available yet? I didn't think it was.

cuuute!!

I know what you mean about bloggy quilt friends. Until we started a modern quilt guild chapter in St. louis a few months ago, I knew NO ONE locally who quilted in a modern style. My blog friends were/are my lifeline!
