gifts
The nicest things of blogging and Flickr are the contacts with all sort of crafties all over the world. When I placed this photo at Flickr, little Dutch girl noticed the dutch farmer fabric. We soon came to an agreement: I would send her the desired fabric, in return she would find some quiltfabric for me.
A few days later, these flowers were sent to me from the usa: thanks again, Jennita!
Another blogfriend (closer to home) commented on my post: I have some fabrics if you want: you would really help me, because that will give some space in the house.
Well who am I to say no to a blogfriend?
This is the huge box I took home, filled with josé's "leftovers":
Some of the contents:
Little retro flowers, especially the third from the right is perfect for my quilt.
Dutch squares!
This is how José got her talent for foreign languages: By reading her clothes...
Look at the blond German: ER LIEBT MICH NICHT! (what else did you expect when you are drawn this awful)
But this is my altime favourite: a 70's childrens fabric.
Tomorrow I will go to Crete, Greece for a two-weeks vacation, hoping to look as happy as the couple above.

Yowza!!! How glorious is that??? What a great haul of "free" fabric - you are a lucky lucky blogger :)

Thank you so much for adopting my fabrics, they were sooo lonely, some of them having been in the attic for about 30 years ;-)
Pity you had this parking ticket, I will take better care of my visitors in the future, and warn them beforehand (to anyone willing to visit me: beware! parking in front of the house is NOT free!)
Enjoy your holidays!!!

Gorgeous! Indeed, the childrens fabric is so nice...
And yeah, I have started the wedding shawl according to you; had a question but I'll leave you in Greece and find out myself. Makes me strong. :-)

Leuk, leuk!!
En... je bent al bijna weer terug uit Griekenland! Hopelijk is het daar niet té warm voor je geweest en heb je een heerlijke vakantie gehad!

Het is haast jammer dat je weg 'moet' nu met al die mooie lapjes erbij.
Maar veel plezier op Kreta en voorzichtig met de hitte (veel,veel drinken en weinig inspannend bezig: breien dus)
