New fabrics, a couple of bits and any ideas?

I bought these rather gorgeous fabrics on Saturday, not sure what I am going to make with them - any ideas?
They are Michael Miller - Gray Citron and Back - yum yum yum!



Been busy with my leftover squares and scraps from Freya's quilt and made a little kitchen set, tea cosy, pot stand and pot holder.  Nearly every scrap is used up now - the quilt was strip machined from a jelly roll so there were lots of strip end etc and two squares,  I can probably squeeze out another potholder but that will be that.
Valentine's day I made this pillow, out of yet more of my silk scraps - not much of those left either!
Finally, these came in the mail - some train fabrics for a quilt for my son, I need to think of a pattern, which maybe tricky because some of the prints are quite large - I shall get on EQ5 and have a play. Once again I am accepting any ideas!
Have a look at what everyone else has completed this week on Sew and Tell Friday, there is some amazing work.

Yet another snowy day...


Well, the kids are off school yet again and I am snowed in yet again, starting to go a bit stir crazy now.

Seriously staring to run out of fabrics now, other than scraps and sample fabrics my interior designer friend has given me.  I had a small jelly roll which I made up yesterday into a garden trellis pattern but I have no  fabric for the borders or binding and I so wanted to get today to get some and some fabric for another project.  I try not to buy fabric unless it is for a specific project and I have finished all my UFOs so am a bit stuck!  This is when it is a problem living out in the middle of nowhere!

The kids are being brilliant, they are playing together really nicely and not fighting - I wonder how long this will last!



Well I shall get on with a couple of small things and pray for warmer weather!  Maybe the postman will get through and bring me some of the fabric I have ordered.
