I came home to some wonderful mail yesterday!First, there was my Four Seasons spring quilt from the lovely Tracy - very funny two Aussie gals making spring quilts in autumn! Look at the lovely tulip block - very spring indeed!
And Tracy spoiled Romily with some hair clips, hair ties, sticker ladybugs and a magnifying glass (which you can't see here as Romily has claimed it all for herself already!) all in a cute zippered bag. Thank you Tracy!
Then there was my fabric order from Virginia Quilter - yes, Very Hungry Caterpillar fabric. A centre panel x 2 and four metres of matching fabric. I am planning on making matching quilts for Romily and Bub#2 - a single bed quilt for Rom and a cot quilt for the baby. It's very cute fabric - the colours are exactly as you'd expect them to be!
Also last week a beautiful book arrived from the Book Depository - the Alabama Stitch Book. It's a wonderfully presented book that shows you how to recycle old t-shirts and make them into things of beauty. Lots of lovely ideas in here - and everything, I mean everything, is stitched by hand :-o - I was inspired to buy this after seeing it on Blair's Wise Craft blog. Gorgeous.
Finally, and by no means least, I have ordered some gorgeous quilty notecards from Doodlebug Gail. Get ye on over to her blog, where she's having a giveaway of some sample packs of her lovely cards. She's such a generous woman and now she has some fab notecards for you to buy and share with all your quilting buddies :)
No more progress on my Four Seasons quilt - better get a wriggle on! I have just been too tired to do anything. Tonight is the night - I MUST get that appliqué happening!!

I was admiring that caterpillar fabric yesterday at the quilt store. I think you'll be able to make some beautiful quilts for your little ones with that.
So now you know The Hungry Caterpillar. I followed the VQ link in your last post and wondered if you had ordered it. You really ought to get the book for Romy and Bump.
Lucky Romy to get so many girlie things.
Don't get too tired and take it easy. You'll have time for everything later on (well at least after the first few months LOL).
The Spring quilt with tulips is lovely!
We have the book and it’s called Rupsje Nooit Genoeg (Rupsje = caterpillar, nooit = never, genoeg = enough)! Funny to see the caterpillar fabric!
The book is great indeed!
What's better than treats in the mail.
Beautiful fabrics and the book looks very interesting.

I'm another who adores the VHC - I just heard that there was fabric available in that range at Reprodepot. I mentioned it to DH and I think he knows some will have to come and live at our place soon!

Love the Hungry Caterpillar fabric - I used to love reading that story to my kids when they were younger. The colours really jump out at you and will make a great cot quilt.
