I'm not sure if this where I am to post this, but I received our mail today, as we have been overseas for 6 weeks, our mail was on hold. It is my Secret Sister birthday present. I am not sure what they are, but they are Roosters with a pocket on the back. I think they may be for napkins, thank you to my Aussie Cute Sister who made them. Love and blessings Chris

Did you find any great fabric shops on your travels
by pennifold 18 Oct 2012
Hi Carolyn, first of all thanks for the well wishes. Secondly, I only found a couple of places and darling Christief from Germany - who we spent part of our day with gave me a bundle, it was so nice. I bought some lovely fabrics in Dubai, but they are for me, not to make quilts. Love Chris

Thanks Pauline, WE HAD A BALL! Saw wonderful countries and met great people. We visited Italy (my personal favourite) Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, an amazing city. I can't find them on EL, but thanks for your comments. Love Chris

Very cute gift! Yes, they are silverware holders from EL, but I don't see why you couldn't use them any way you like. I have added the link for anyone interested.

Thanks Anita, yes I will put up some pictures, I have yet to categorise them and place them in correct country folders etc. As there are thousands of them, it might take me a while! Love Chris

Welcome home Chris! I bet the time flew, apart from when you were missing your grandies :) Glad to hear you caught up withChristief -what fun. Hope you had the camera handy then too. You know we love pics of Cuties catching up. Your SS did a terrific job on the roosters and kept blue to the forefront I see. Nice job!

Thanks Marianne, the time did go by so fast. And yes, we missed the family a lot, but it was still great having the time to ourselves. Thanks for the comments about the cutlery holders, they will come in handy. Love Chris
