You can hear me swooning from wherever you are in the world right now, can't you? Two of my most favourite things - Heather Ross fabrics and Auriful thread. Could a girl get any luckier than this?
The thread card is such a brilliant thing to have. No more guessing games in the thread ordering. Besides which, it is just mesmerizingly beautiful to look at. Kim chose the three larger spools to match the Heather Ross prints perfectly. Surprisingly for me, I love the brown. Maybe that's because it is such an excellent chocolate shade.
And the Heather Ross! What can I say? Other than the night before I found out I won, a very close friend emailed and asked if I had any of two particular HR prints that I could spare. Exactly these two prints. Serendipity! I will be sharing with her as she is as much a Heather Ross fanatic as I am. And it would be cruel and unkind not to make her smile as much as I am.
So life is good in this household today. Despite the child still being ill. And the car coming home from the garage with a hefty price tag. How can all that get you down when you have these wonderful things to cheer you up?

Congratulations, what a fabulous prize to get! No wonder you squealed.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get my grubby little hands on some of this fabric as we have two lovely goldfish. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to find some.
This prize had your name on it even before the number was drawn. Lucky you and well deserved.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The prize definitely went to the right person! Hope the child is better soon xx
ReplyDeleteP.S. You do realise we'll all be asking for thread consultations before we buy, don't you?!
Yay for great prizes and deserving winners!
ReplyDeleteWonderful winnings, and perfectly you! Keep smiling! Jxo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - what a fabulous win!!!!!

Kim is so amazingly generous, I've also been a lucky HR recipient in the past (although shamefully I haven't got as far as turning them into the thing I planned yet)
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I love when my friends have good news, so...go stitch with your winnings and whip up something brilliant!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have been better suited to you really! Just need child to get better and hefty price tag to disappear or be offset by lottery win and it would be a perfect week!
ReplyDeletePerfect prize for you! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteIt's serendipity! HR fabrics and Aurifil - it had to come to you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations...you'll have a blast with those threads and fabric!
ReplyDeleteHappy dance, happy fabrics, happy threads...that calls for a happy quilt!!

ReplyDeletehooray!!!!!! What a lovely prize :-D
ReplyDeleteSqueee! goldfish in bags! Having seen your recent HR cushion in person, I just know you'll do something fab with these :) x
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous mini!
ReplyDeleteEek!! Goldfish envy over here. But so perfect for you, with your known love of these prints and also the fish addiction I've seen coming through some of your recent projects. Plus all the thread!! Omg, best prize EVER!
ReplyDeleteE xx
Fab prizes!!! I was just thinking earlier I never win anything. Until I remembered I haven't entered anything for ages. So behind with blog reading and you have to be in it to win it. Hope car and child are fixed soon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a fab win - how could you not love those wee goldfish in a bag? Enjoy playing with them!
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky duck! That prize definitely went to the right person! When I saw the goldfish and the orange thread it just screamed your name! The colour cards are great, I have the RK Kona Solids one and I couldn't be without it now. :o)
ReplyDeleteLucky you, gorgeous prize!
ReplyDeleteSqueals from here too!
ReplyDeleteWe had a GF once, it's name was Edwina. Such googly eyes!
Fabric fishies are much easier look after....cant wait to see how you look after these cuties.
Those are perfect for you, also two of my all time favourites. The thread and thread card are also the best, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the intro to Kim who I haven't come across before (where have I been?) and congrats on your win - perfect for you!
ReplyDeleteExcellent win! I entered that one but I suppose you can win it, lol. Very kind of you to share it with a friend.
ReplyDeleteOooh, lovely fabric winnings
ReplyDeleteSerendipity indeed. It couldn't have gone to a better home!
ReplyDeleteJust what you need to divert from the trauma of the car bill! :o)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, such a fabulous prize, and for such a lovely person. It's about time you had some goodness come your way!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm YOU win a giveaway? Surely not!
ReplyDeleteImagine my shock!
:) Lovely prize though!! :)
