Buttercup bundles of bliss!

Some may consider this lucky or unlucky but I have a husband who travels overseas for work quite often. I've never really taken advantage of it (other to ask for the odd face cream here and there) as I know he is always too busy to shop and just likes to go over, do his work and come home. However, on this occasion I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to purchase some fabric goodness I had been oggling for a good while now..........I had it shipped to his hotel just in time for his checkout!how good is free postage within the USA for such a large bundle!). Isn't it just gorgeous..........



Fig Tree Buttercup 

 1930's Buttercup - Robert Kaufman



I have decided to do the Vignette Hexagon Quilt in the 1930's Buttercup fabric. When I bought the fabric my friend suggested I do a hexie quilt with it and then Vignette Issue 2 came out - voila!! I haven't got around to starting yet. I might add that it has taken me six weeks to download these photos - been having problems with my computer and internet connection. Hopefully its well on its way to being fixed now.......

For the Fig tree buttercup material I have another pattern to show you later......it takes one jelly roll and two charm squares..........it also has some stitching in it which I love!!

Happy Stitching everyone!
