Box of Fun

Another great box of goodies arrived in this month's Quilty Box. I really love this color of thread, it's called "orange" and it's definitely in the orange range, but I'd say it's a lot towards the yellow side of things. It's a Wonderful Tutti 50wt, so I'm going to try some hand-stitching with it. The fabrics are not necessarily all ones I would pick, but I like the colors, and when it's all cut up the designs will not be at all bothersome. I don't care for the quilt pattern included this month, so I think I'll use one of my Sizzix dies instead. The folding scissors are so pretty and quite sharp, very handy. And I've never seen one of these Yazzii bags in person, I think it's well-made, a useful size and a nice color.

The receipt of this box full of fabrics, calls for some fun laundry time with my other recent purchases that were waiting for enough to fill up the washer. I forgot to put in the usual two or three Color Catchers, and there was one white fat quarter and several very pale ones, but it was A-Ok, no excess dyes jumped over, phew!
