It was a happy day yesterday with the arrival of Nancy's Needle 1850-1880, the newest fabric released from Betsy Chutchian of Moda Fabrics. Forty lovely bolts of florals and small prints, perfect for lots of small pieced blocks.
I have them listed on the website here.
It was also a happy day for three special men in my life; Arthur, George and Harold. It was finally sheering day.
This year the shearing was a public affair, done at school in front of my son's Agricultural class. The shearer even demonstrating hand clipping on Harold. Its amazing how much their wool has lightened off over the years, here they are in 2012. It's not just us who grey as we age.
With the postponement of AQC, I am now under huge pressure to spin the wool and knit beanies for the three human men in my life. I did agree to the condition that I could have the sheep if I kept the men in beanies, and as yet my husband is yet to receive one.
Happy stitching!
