pocket quilt from the UK

The postman has been bringing me very happy mail lately - first there were the good results on my language exams, and then a very cheery surprise packet from London.


The sender of the goodies is Helene from Petite Laine. My missing London blues has been coloured over by the contents of this parcel - I feel very spoilt. There were even sweeties and tea included! The tea was consumed  instantly and enjoyed immensely!


I have been thoroughly admiring the pocket quilt that Helene made me. It's not just that it's super to go through all those pockets, like a kid, rummaging for goodies. It is also a wonderful sampler for printed fabric lovers like me. Have a gander at the cute details.




Helene made this as a mini version of the advent calendar she'd made for her kids for Christmas. I adore the sleeping babes tucked up in bed idea!

Thank you Helene for making me such a pretty thing and for sending such a lovely parcel!

(I have to hurry up my Craft It Forward process, it's been nearly half a year since I pledged. Luckily there's still some time left for wrestling with my perfectionism and to compile my packages before the year expires... but a sneak preview shall come earlier than that!)

    1. Hi Steph! We've been having very nice weather for at least a week, then the thunderstormy business started a couple of days ago, and now it's forecast cooler temperatures with rain, same as in Germany... One thing I hope for is that the rain will ease my hayfever, but I miss the summery weather even if it's a bit sniffy and throat-scratchy and full of mosquitoes :)
