Shopping and birthday presents

I recently discovered via Facebook that the public can buy direct from Elegance Novelties and after browsing their webpage, I discovered a whole range of ric rac braids in all the colors of the rainbow and more.  I was so excited as I struggled to get packets of pastel colors, so I ordered some to add to my collection.


I also got the 10mm wide brown ric rac which I used to rescue the Stack and Wack quilt with, this post refers.


I also bought sewing needles at an astonishingly low price of about 50c each.  I thought it must be a misprint, but not.  I have been using this brand forever, so was really glad to discover them on a local companies' website.


At our year end function, the members of the Rotary Cutters quilting group, gave me some money with which I bought embroidery thread.  Yes, again.  This time a set of 12 variegated threads and two huge 9000m cones of white and black.  I thought about getting the glow in the dark set as well, but will do so at a later stage.  These were acquired from Embroidery Warehouse.


And for my birthday, my husband and son bought me some jelly rolls.  Yeah!



I spoiled myself with the latest novel of Robin Cook named Spasm and fellow quilter Frances got me a Karen Kingsbury book to add to my library.
