4415 New Things to Do

Some days are Christmas, and some days feel like Christmas. Today was one of those second types. Walking back to work after lunch, I got an SMS - DHL was telling me my package had arrived at the Packstation.
My long-awaited, deeply-desired package had arrived!!!
Buecher.de is one of my favorite online stores. It's much easier to use than Amazon, and doesn't have nearly the crap that Amazon puts on its pages. It's far more pleasant to shop there, and I watch the prices carefully to make sure I'm getting the best deal possible.
This time I got lucky. I was looking for a couple of quilty things, and ended up finding the quilt book of my dreams - Jinny Beyer's The Quilter's Album of Patchwork Patterns: More Than 4050 Pieced Blocks for Quilters

Additionally, I had already ordered Nancy Martin's 365 Quilt Blocks a Day perpetual calendar.
Both of these packages came today, and I'm in quilt block heaven.
Jinny has 4050 blocks, and Nancy has 365. Do the math and I now have 4415 wonderful new blocks to play with.The nice thing about these resources is I now have thousands of public domain quilt patterns (not Jinny's or Nancy's own designs, of course) at my fingertips.
Here are some pictures of my lovelies. I showed Feb 3 in the calendar, because that's my birthday. Heehee.

I really enjoyed your blog and was so excited for you. When I get a quilt book I am waiting for, it is up in the sewing room and it had better be an emergency if you want to bother me. LOL. Not really but close. Enjoy. Love Lois
