Feel inside (and stuff like that)

Inside the letterbox this afternoon was a package from the talented and very witty Rebecca at Frybread Quilts. She chose little ol' me as the winner of these precious out of print Heather Ross Mendocino fabrics during the latest Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day.

*Squealing*. I started my fabric hoarding collection too late to purchase this line, so I am beyond thrilled to have some.  The cuts measure roughly 7.5cm x 112cm.  I have folded and refolded them twice already.

Not only did I receive these amazing fabrics she also popped in some extra goodies including another piece of fabric from this collection. Rebecca, I love everything you sent and the sticker made me laugh. I feel a bit like Texas some days around here. That slogan sure beats "Taranaki - Where Family Violence Is Not OK".


Look at the size of that one cent coin! Things really are bigger in Texas.


Thank you so much, you have made my week start off in the best possible way.  I feel a bit stink for the winner of my giveaway now, who got, well, fabric. And a New Zealand Post bag...

Here's a song for you Rebecca, if you're reading this - I know how much you love Jemaine Clement.

    Lucky you Chick. I loved this interview which explains some of those weird lyrics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py_30jZGUYk

      Ooooh, yes a bit of back-story is a good idea.

      Thanks for stopping by to comment, Christine. I just checked out your link - I think you are pretty clever to create patterns, it's not an easy thing to do.

    Yay! I'm glad it got there safely. Every time I travel somewhere, I always find the cheesiest gift shop and buy obnoxious souvenirs. So, I thought I'd do the same for you! From Texas, with love! Rebecca

      Well Rebecca, I'm pleased so much time and care went into making your selections for me ;). I love them and smile each time I look at them.

    Yeah I missed out on the fabric line too! So lovely...can't get over the size of that coin!! And yeah Taranaki Slogan vs Texas! Shame!
    I like Wanganui's.....travelling down the windy Parapara's Rd from Raetihi to Wanganui you get "wanganui - Well worth the Journey" ha!

      There are some beauties out there, and even if they aren't currently used, it's still good to drag them up for laugh: Hamilton - More than You Expect. Dannevirke - Take a liking to a Viking. Foxton - the Fox Town of New Zealand.
