Tis the season in the flesh!

I am in Qld for the meeting of the Gum Tree girls and we got to visit Thread and Ginger which is Natalie Bird's shop. It is adorable and as we walked in there it was right next to the door, in the flesh 'Tis the Season'...I was so excited and bought a couple of fabrics to go with mine, but I promise Chooky that I will finish this month my GJ and the two 'TIS'  blocks..... Happy Stitching from sunny QLD...he he..... its been pouring with rain the whole time..LOL
