I finished off Connie's Christmas Pinwheels ---in blue --- last week. Guess I am a little late for the season, but it will probably go into the gift stack for next year. I had several things to bind, and some string blocks to work on. Since the internet was out, an afternoon was free to me.
I wanted some company as I stitched......I watched several episodes on our recorded list. Enter my latest heroine..... Miss Fisher of Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries. This is an Australian production, and I am hooked on it. Found on our local PBS stations on the weekend. Phryne Fisher is a gutsy flapper with a heart of gold to match her gun. Her outfits are amazing to see and she carries them off well. Great characters and a period story line make me happy. Of course, Dr. Blake runs a close second, but that's another story.
Happy stitching.

That's a beautiful win, Connie's quilts are always gorgeous. Thanks for the tip for the show, I'll see if I can find it.
What is not to feel great about winning fabric? Especially gorgeous fabric.
Winning is always fun and the batiks are gorgeous! Keep us posted on how you use them. ~Jeanne
I second your endorsement on Connie's patterns. I won some and they seem to be very well written.
Looks like a lovely bundle in the mail! I can see that quilt pattern made up in those batiks, or your pretty florals.
Christmas Pinwheels looks great.
I caught an episode of Miss Fisher recently. Very well done. My recent PBS favorite is Death In Paradise.
Oh soft squishy packages are so much fun!!! And I'm a batik lover. You'll have fun with those. I love the Doctor Blake series too! Keep seeing the Miss fisher ads so will have to DVR it asap. I mostly listen to novels. Just finished The Orphan Train and Cold Sassy Tree (an absolute treasure of a book) and Patty Janes Jouse of Curl. Who doesn't love ❤️ A well written mystery or interesting characters while creating??
I've been watching Quantum Leap in my sewing room. No cable, and no internet in there, only a DVD and VCR player. I listen to audio books when I machine quilt.
Connie's blog is one of my favorites. She has so many great tutorials, clearly written. Can't wait to see how you use the batiks.

The Miss Phryne Fisher books are even better than the TV Series in my opinion.
Death in Paradise is excellent!!!
Great fabrics - you'll have fun working with these. I love Connie's blog, her designs are always so do-able and she does a great tutorial.
I love the way your Christmas pinwheels turned out. ...and all those lovely batiks!
Thanks so much for the shout-out Debbie! I can't wait to see what you create with those neat batiks and I'm so glad you like my patterns!
