two in one day

Last year I was fortunate to "meet" Gudrun, who has a lovely blog, and we have been keeping in touch.

In a picture in one of her recent blog post I saw a fabric I liked very much. I need to make some new cushions for our sofas and I though this fabric would do very well.
Gudrun was very kind and emailed me a close up of the border with the name of the design, "Jolie Jardin."
I could not find it on any of the UK sites, eventually I tracked it down on ebay, from Sew-Creative-Fabric, for a very reasonable price. My fabric parcel arrived today. I like it as much as I did when I saw it in Gudrun's picture.

But that wasn't the only parcel I received today.
The second parcel came from Sweden, a surprise from Gudrun! A beautiful, beautiful present, using the same fabric.


THANK YOU, GUDRUN!
I LOVE IT!

    Ooooh, I can see why you love that fabric, Radka...it's gorgeous! And how thoughtful and sweet of Gudrun to send you such a lovely gift. Someone recently said to me that my "blog friends weren't really friends because I didn't really know them" - well, I so disagree! I think all of us bloggers have made some very special friends all over the world, and I'm sure that you agree! :o)

    XOXO,

    Cyndi

    What a gorgeous colour that fabric is. I'm sure you will enjoy your cushions and they will look so bright and cheerful. Thoughtful friend to make something for you in a fabric she knows you will love.

    Wow, that fabric is lovely, and so is your blog. I cannot stitch, knit or sew, just not talented with my hands. I am following you immidiately, perhaps I can learn something from you. Greetings from Rome! I am actually Sicilian and live in Trapani, Sicily.
