Best friends don't stop the postman from coming. Woohoo! Today I got my emergency order of perle I required for stitching my solids quilt. There were two colours that I didn't have. Somehow, inadvertently I managed to order several other colours while I was online. How
does that happen?!

| I doubled up on my favourite lime and turquoise. |
I also got my last purchase of HR from Etsy. I ordered this a while ago but it took the long postal route here, not the seller delaying posting. But it is here and I love it.

The seller added in some fussy cuts of the kittens in flannel.
Sweet! |
There are a lot more of these elephants than can be seen in the photo. It is a front pannel from a cari leg of a pair of Munki Munki pyjamas. It is a very light weight cotton that almost feels like voile. If anyone wants to trade two rows of elephants (approximately 11"x6") for a small piece of Heather Ross that I don't have yet, please let me know.

Fab post, where do you order your perle from?
ReplyDeleteI love all those threads! And you have the best HR collection I know of it seems.
ReplyDeleteoooh I'll swap you for some HR that you haven't got! I'll send you pics of what I've got in case there's anything there ;)

look at you, lucky girl! one best friend, one awesome panel of ellies and a gazillion balls of perle. Who is a lucky girl? Who? :)
ReplyDeletelove all those colours of perle: I really should try using that: I use embroidery thread and its probably an expensive way of doing it!
ReplyDeleteThat's the 2nd elephant quilt I found today it looks cool.
