The Elephants Came Two By Two, Hurrah, Hurrah!

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.

    I too would love to know the inside scoop on where you purchased your perle. Enquiring minds want to know!

    And also, I was here first again today, but sat in my kitchen as it was raining. Manners these days! This country is going to the dogs!
