Last night I was simply too tired to do anything but look through my Kaffe Fassett books. I did 2 loads of laundry, mowed the grass, prepared packages and made 2 trips to the post office during the day. I finally met one of my new neighbors while I was outside. She is into gardening too and I will be helping her identify some of the plants around her yard since I know what 2 of the previous owners planted. Today is day 3 of my 6 day pop-up shop. I have 2 more packages ready to mail this morning.
Mailing packages must mean you sold so things from your pop up shop - that is great! How nice it will be to share your interest in gardening with the new neighbor!
I have a couple of his books, but I had no idea he had so many! I love to sit and reread some of my quilt books I have acquired. Some of my favorites are state document quilt books.
I bought a K.F. book last week from a charity shop. I zoomed in on your titles to see if you had it. I thought you did, *Passionate Patchwork*, but mine also has the name *with Liza Prior Lucy* in the title. We've had lots of sun all week which means getting out the hosepipe every 2 days, but it's worth it to see all the buds on my Clematis getting ready to burst open. The Fuchsia have lots of buds, the Fox Glove and Peony are doing well, so I should have some colour soon. Not bought any new plants yet for the wall planters and tubs but still time for that (hopefully). Your neighbour will be glad to know where their hidden plants are :)
i know you will have fun designing with your triangle blocks, that are now ready for your next top. Keeping up with your pop up shop and spring yard work is a full day for sure.
What could have been better after a busy day than going through the KF books! One which I never ;purchased was the Shots and Stripes, I'm still mulling over whether I should or not!

ReplyDeleteWhat would you say is your favorite, or most helpful Kaffe book?
