Thanks for all you lovely comments on my last post.............it's friendships that keep you going............
Last week in the mail I received these goodies from Loz..........the charm pack is lovely...........can't wait to make something from it.........
Also when Jenny came to visit she brought me some presents..........funny thing is we met in town and she found a great bird brooch at the shop and I had looked to see if they had any chooks but no.............then I open this parcel and look what was inside..............love the chook brooch.........some great fabrics.........and also some binding clips..........which came in to good use on the weekend binding marathon.............and Jenny had to borrow a couple of mine since she forgot to bring hers...........there are actually 10 clips but some were on a quilt at the time...........
But the best thing Jenny brought with her is below..............
Yes that's is an air conditioner you see...............she replaced some with split systems in the house so gave me the old ones...........this is so exciting..............I was actually testing it out on Monday afternoon when the fires struck.............it won't be big enough on a stinking hot day but it was 35 the other day and it was fine for me............I had it sitting through the window testing it out............my shed is such a "hand me down" "recycled" shed it isn't funny....I am so lucky Jenny thought of me..............with the week that's been it seems like Jenny was here weeks ago but it was only on the weekend.........such a nice time together.........
&&&&
2 more quilts for Caring with Quilts....................thanks Kerri.WillowGrove Quilts.......it's not to late to help out........don't forget quilts can be dropped in at The Home Patch Bathurst and Cottage on the Hill Nundle.....
Catch you later..............

Hope the next week brings you some happy times and some air conditioned stitching comfort! take care :-)
Great pressies and that air con. will make a difference in the heat I am sure.
Paisley fabric is nice. Hope you don't have to use that air con for too much longer, but they do come in handy. Sharyn:)
What a beautful brooch and so fitting and I love the fabrics.
Lovely goodies in the mail, love that flower fabric. Your chookshed is pieced together like a quilt, enjoy your aircon.
Lots of lovely gifts Chooky especially love the chook broach. Hugs...
I think you need to think of your Chookshed as a WIP or UFO - a long term project. Lovely collection of goodies for you.
How lovely to receive such great gifts. The chook brooch is gorgeous. Those binding clips are so good arent they. How did we manage before them? Enjoy the air conditioner - any help against the heat has to be good.
Beautiful fabrics there Chooky, you will make something lovely I'm sure.
And how wonderful to have an air con for The Shed That Chook Built... well, furnished anyway!! x
I must tell you that yesterday our guild had Linda Klop lecture. She deigned that fabric line Le Petit Poulet. Saw her quilt. She is an amazing talent.
Hey.... you are right on trend! Recycling is 'THE' thing to be doing these days. I know that Chooks belong in sheds but maybe if you started calling it your craft studio...... ;o) It has air con now... how many sheds have that!! Enjoy! Lovely fabrics and brooch...

Love the brooch. Great fabric, can't wait to see what you make? Air conditioning unit will make things nice for you to create in. Have a great day, Michelle.
I can come visit now you have air con LOL
Love all your gifties, that fabric from Jenny is gorgeous!
Lovely goodies and just love that pic of the quilts in he tree awesome. Also just listened t the radio link about your caring for quilts, how proud u must feel for organising it.
How 'cool' is that to have air con, anything to allow more time in the Chook Shed has to be a great thing! Your gifts are lovely, have fun with them too....
Ohh who has been spoilt!!!! Such lovely pressies especially the air con !!!!
How great is it getting surprise parcels in the post ...Sorry to hear of your friends passing I lost a friend last Nov aged 50 so sad just remember the good memories xx
Beautiful fabrics and I can imagine the air conditioner was welcomed! Enjoy it!!
