You may remember that Melissa was having a give-away recently. Well, I was lucky enough to receive this fab pattern from her today!!! I'm often short of ideas of what to sew (that's probably why I make several of one item). This pattern is just what I needed to give me something entirely different to try. I've made cloth dolls, cats, mice and chickens but I've never made a lion or a giraffe before. Also included are embroidered quilts and a bird (think I'll make him first). Thank you Melissa, you are a lovely blog friend!
Next I'll have to choose the fabric, this can be the difficult bit. Here's a picture of one drawer of my fat-quarters, looks very messy doesn't it. I like to keep things hidden away because my craft room would look very untidy if I had my fabric on shelves, not like this blog, where things are so neat and tidy. I tell myself it's because my craft room is small and I have so much stuff that it never looks really nice, I still love it though and spend many hours here.

Hi Ann, you will have great fun turning out crafty animals. You should see my room when I sew just one project!I have to have everything placed around me so I dont have to move from the sewing machine!
I also like the room to be nice and relaxing I could not do anything in that sewing room you linked to the colours were blinding!
Be sure to take photos of what you make from the book
wow Ann, that's quite a stash. If it was too tidy you wouldn't want to rummage and that's half the joy with selecting fabrics. Jenny's sewing space is too gorgeous for words - I wouldn't want to mess it up by using anything!
So, so happy that it FINALLY arrived! I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather send my first international package to. You've been a wonderful blog friend to me! You have quite a nice stash to choose from. Can't wait to see what you whip up. :) Melissa
