I made an order from Fat Quarter Shop and received it yesterday. Yeah, I haven't bought any new fabric like this in a long time. I assure you that it was a heavily thought out process. Nothing was ordered without great thought as to what it would be used for. The kids are all excited about me making them a cupcake out of fabric from the above pictured book. The layout of the book is very cute and feminine. The projects inside are great for someone that might be holding a bridal shower, or a baby shower, or a birthday party for a dear friend.
I did order one splurge item. On the left is a grab bag of 30's fabric with a cute pattern. It also came with the tri-recs tools needed. Too bad I already have one set. I have noticed that people on quilt blogs like to do give aways, so maybe that is what I will do. If you would like to have your own set of tri-recs, leave a comment below and dependant upon the response, I will pick the friendliest quilter!
I love the fabric in these packs! I ordered almost everything from Michael Miller's Pod Posey line. Very bright and fun without being childish. I also really loved Lakehouse's pretty and feminine fabrics.
The fabric on the left is going to make some fabulous curtains and dresses for my girls and the pattern on the right is a full kit for the pattern shown. Too much fun and not enough time!

Those fabrics are lovely. I can't wait to see what you do with them. I'm a new quilt blogger (despite my cat's image in my icon. You can see some of my things over at patcherymenagerie.blogspot.com
I'd love to win the tri-recs rulers, as I love the 54-40 (?) or fight block.
Wow! You bought some really nice things! I love the FQ Shop too. The book looks like it has some fun projects in it. I can't wait to see the cupcakes! I don't have the tri-rex tools so I don't know anything about them but I would love to win them and try them out!
I got your link from niki's new site! I love the fat quarter shop, very dangerous place to visit! LOL
I dont own any tri rec's tools and would love to try them as well.. I am a fellow 30's fabricologist by the look of things!
take care

PS I can't wait to see the cupcakes either, these ones are fat free too! :O)
It's always fun to receive quilt goodies in the mail! I received two jelly rolls from the Fat Quarter Shop from my sisters for my birthday. So fun! The cupcake sounds so cute. I've made pincushions and balls lately, maybe a cupcake will be the next stuffed patchwork I'll try! I'm glad I found your blog just in time to have a chance to win a tri-rec ruler! Have a great day.
It is so fun to read a blog about orders that come in the mail. I feel like I am right there sharing in the excitement of getting a package. You ordered such fun things and pretty fabric. I hope you will be blessed with extra time to work on all your wonderful projects. I have never ordered from the Fat Quarter shop but have always wanted to. The tri-recs rulers sound fun!!
