There is nothing quite like a delivery of fabric to lift your spirits when you are recovering from the flu!
I love the Be Merry by My Minds Eye by Riley Blake fabric because you can never have too much Christmas fabric.
The Moda Lamour Circles Red fabric reminds me of sashiko embroidery and will be incorporated into my next sashiko project.
Sarah loves the Just Dreamy by Minds Eye for Riley Blake fabric. She has signed up to do Textiles as an elective at school next year so hopefully we will have more of her sewing projects to share. Meanwhile she is building up her stash.
These fabrics are all available from

I also stocked up on delicious Heather Bailey wool felt last week at Calico and Ivy for a project that I am working on. Aren’t the colours delicious?
My kids have been really busy at school this term with loads of extra curricular activities – such as debating, Tournament of the Minds, etc. I want to surprise them after school today with a special afternoon tea.
I made up some pikelets that we will have with some cinnamon sugar. (Recipe from Exclusively Food).
I also baked up a batch of Carrot Cupcakes with Lemon Icing. (Recipe from “How to Be Domestic Goddess” by Nigella Lawson).
I think I might go and have a cupcake now myself and do some stitching before it is time for the school pickup!
That Riley Blake fabric is really nice!
A lovely stash of fabric, nothin better to help you get over the flu.
The pikelets look like dropscones, a favourite in this household.
My, you certainly know how to present your cupcakes, it looks gorgeous.
Lots of lovely fabrics, and yummy cakes! Afternoon tea will be a hit I’m sure 🙂
Scrummy fabrics, Lisa! I love Sarah’s new stash… also one of my favourite ranges! I’m so excited for her starting a textiles course – sometimes I wish I was back at school again!!! 🙂
Those moments before school pick up are precious aren’t they?! 🙂
Hugs! Vikki x
Lovely postal delivery Lisa, cant wait to see what you do with the sashiko fabric.Enjoy your afternoon tea.
Love the carrot cupcakes, Nigella’s recipes are great – so long as you avert your eyes at the quantities of sugar and fat!
Fabrics look great, I must go and do something with my stash.

What delightful fabrics! I esp. liked the last picture before the felted wool. I don’t know what’s yummier, the tasty treats or the fabric!~karen
I have the entire collection of Be Merry (since last year). If only I could think of how to make use of it. Looking foward to seeing what you do. Great circle fabric too. All of your baking looks delicious, especially in the presentation. I used to secretly wish my daughter would become a textile designer so she could make the fabric and I could sew the project. Looking forward to seeing Sarah’s future projects.
ooooh that fabric is fabulous. I’m so looking forward to christmas, only 124 days to go !!
Very pretty new fabrics Lisa — I love the Christmas prints!
TASTY! Love all the fabrics & wool, Lisa… That red/circles fabric does remind of sashiko! Funnily enough I was just baking carrot cupcakes too! mmm… Happy Week ((HUGS))
Oooo. Don’t you just lurve Calico and Ivy. I could spend all day there.
I am really busy at school too. Can I get some pikelets and cupcakes? I am working really hard too. ; )
I love the WORD fabric! And I think I have some FQ of the Christmas line. Good to know I can get it at the LadyBug etsy shop!
Mmmmm love those woolen felt rolls!
I have NL’s book too. I think I should have a closer look again. It is full of dust …
The pikelets look almost like our pancakes in the United States yummy!!
Love that red circle fabric and those luscious pieces of felt! What a great fabric day for you!
Dear Lisa, you bring in this post two things I ADORE: fabric and sugar!!!! Lovely, dear!!! The fabric are gorgeous and I figure what they will be…and the sweet, oh I keep trying to guess how it tastes…
Kisses!!! Bela.
Love the Christmas tree material. I’m bringing my children over to your place for an afternoon after- school snack 😉

What great fabric! One can never have too much. There is always a project just waiting…
I learned about pikelets today! 🙂
Sorry you haven’t been well! If anything was going to make you feel better that fabric would, not quite sure which is my favorite!! and the colors of that felt! I love having something special for afternoon tea for the kids, doesn’t always happen but nice when it does.
Christmas fbric is so cheerful, you can’t feel even slightly miserable looking at it. No wonder you’re so happy. What fun you’ll have with it all. Can’t wait to see the results.
Love the fabrics but am absolutely swooning over the yummy looking baked goods!
Very nice fabric selections!
Pikelets – that’s a new term for me.
Sarah’s stash looks like some of my scrapbook paper – close enough that I checked to see if it was the same design.
Lots of lovely fabric and congratulations on making the front cover of Quilting Arts you legend:)
mmm…i love a good pikelet

Well Lisa, you know how I feel about that Riley Blake fabric 🙂
Your baking is making me hungry…lucky I have a fresh batch of cupcakes cooling on the rack (don’t you just love birthday season LOL)
Hope you are feeling better soon xxx
LOVE the Christmas fabric — it’s true you never can have too much! Can’t wait to see what you will do with it.
Oooh! I love that red fabric! At first glance I thought it was sachiko!
