The Mother Load!

I've just received an email from a relative who plans to relocate from the US back home and offered to ship stuff in their container! Hooray! I buy most of my supplies online because the range is wider, and frankly even with shipping, its cheaper. If we take out the shipping costs.... :) possibilities are endless . So many choices, so little time.

Just ordered 2 sets of fabrics for 2 quilts I plan to make. Summer Song by Riley Blake, Forrest Fun by Amy Schimler with 2D Zoo. (The theme for the week seems to be birds.) Couldn't resist and requested for international shipping. Have some vacation days coming up and can't wait to start these projects. the pink themed one will probably go to a good friend who just had a baby, I say probably because not sure if it will worthy to give away. Stay tuned for the results. In the meantime, NEED to get down to taking pics of the completed works to upload.


Anyway, thinking of buying a roll of batting, Its incredibly expensive here, $21 per m for Japanese cotton. Don't have many types available or I just don't know where to look. Its also bulky so international shipping is out of the question. Gonna do the math and see if its worth it.
