Toda, June 8th, is my birthday!!! I am going to share with you a couple of my recent purchases which I am in love with. First up, my new addiction – Aurifil thread…which I recently purchased three boxes. 
I love how it sews, whether I am using it for piecing, quilting or EPP. I love the colors…what a wonderful palette of inspiration. As you may be able to tell I have cracked open my Botanics box already (the middle one) for my current project….and can not wait until I get to the quilting with the thread.
The second thing I am loving and so excited about is Cotton and Steel. After seeing all the IG love of Quilt Market (ah…someday, when I grow up), I could not wait to get my hands on it….especially on the basics package from them. Anxiety is growing….I have pre-ordered everything. to my surprise, Laura @ Little and Lots emailed last week, and put me onto this wonderful bundle; Moonlit by Rashida Coleman-Hale (Cotton and Steel). I am loving those arrow prints, and everything for that matter :-). 
Those are two of my favorite things.
Lastly, in celebration of my birthday, I also have a giveaway. A fat quarter bundle consisting of 15 prints of First of Infinity Text. 
Just leave a comment about the one quilty purchases/ things you are in love with at the moment. I will draw a winner randomly next Sunday. Hope you all have a good week. Linking up with Quilts from the Attic for Molli’s Sparkles Sunday Stash.

4. Have a wonderful birthday! I’m currently in love with your rotary circle cutter, shown in the last post, and can’t wait to get one. And the three packs of Bali Pop batik jelly roll strips in my cupboard, waiting to be hand pieced into my Winter quilt. Beautiful jewelled winter shades….
5. Happy Birthday! Mine is June 21, the first day of summer! Love a June birthday ;c) I want to get some Aurifil too. It seems that everyone but me uses it. I also am in love with text prints. I think they add some fun to a quilt. Thanks for the chance to win. Hope you had a great birthday!

9. First of all, a very Happy Birthday to you, and I hope it was a day well spent. I am in love with the fact that baby blankets, burp pads, and all things baby are being made now in anticipation of great grandchild #6, due the end of July. Thanks so much for the giveaway.
10. Happy Birthday!!
I recently purchased some pretty yellow fabrics, and some great, from Intrepid Thread. They’re going into my planned “Good Morning Sunshine” quilt!!
11. Happy birthday! This year will be another good one for you and for us too as you share so much – are so inspiring! I’m still organizing my sewing room, but hope to find a baby quilt top that I started last year. I found the bright blue thread that I got to use on that project. End of the month is the one year birthday for little Adrian, would be great to come with a completed quilt for him. We have friends from other countries having babies soon too – those text prints would add so much interest to gifts for them. Thanks for the chance!

16. A very happy birthday to you! I am loving that I have just finished a 6 month old WIP. IT’S DONE! And I’m pleased with how it turned out! And now I can move on to the other projects which excite me. (I also love that my FMQ skills are just a wee bit better now that I’ve finished this one off).
17. Many happy returns! I’m loving April Showers right now. Thanks!
18. Happy Birthday! Hope it was the best ever. I’m happy about finishing a baby quilt for my friend who is going to have a new granddaughter any day now.
19. Happy Birthday! Right now I am loving pattern testing for another blogger. Just the thought of it is giving me quilty energy.
20. Happy birthday! Right now I’m knee deep in log cabin blocks and loving the simplicity of how they sew up.
21. Happy Birthday!!! I preordered Cotton & Steel basic collection about a month ago. Can’t wait to recieve my order.

23.Happy Birthday. I’m in love with Tula Pink Fox Fields right now. I love the pink zigzag. Thanks for the giveaway.
24. Hope your birthday was awesome! My birthday is tomorrow, and my best quilt gift, if you want to call it that, was the quilt I gave my 1 year old Great Nephew this week. The best part of it was him grabbing it and snuggling up in it! Best gift ever for me.
25. I am loving the kona cotton swatch cards I just got. So many possibilities!
26. happy birthday, make it a great one!! at the moment i’m waiting ‘impatiently’ for my bundle of Meadow, the dark green print, for some reason this year i’m finding all kinds of great greens, kona’s new Pesto is my new love for background.
27. Happy Birthday! I’m in love with text prints, low volume, and navy blue fabrics!
28. Happy Birthday, I’m making a couple of more contemporary designs. I too love Aurifil for everything.Thanks
29. Happy Birthday Michelle! Thank you for the amazing giveaway opportunity.
I am currently in love with quilting pillows. My dad just repainted our living room light grey so because it is a neutral color, you can accent it with many colors. So I have just finished making my third pillow and trying to change the patterns and colors to change it up during the year once in a while.
Great blog!
30. Happy Birthday. I’m in love with the new Retro Orchard prints from Dashwood, especially the apples and pears
31. Happy birthday. I’m loving the American Made Brand.
32. Happy Birthday! They’re some pretty awesome purchases, well done! I’m crazy about Cotton & Steel – ALL of it, particularly Mustang but I’m so far trying to resist. I do keep getting a panicky, ‘what if I miss out?’ kind of feeling & I know I’ll cave eventually but feeling mostly good about resisting. Thanks for the chance to win some lovely texty fabrics.
33. Happy Birthday!!! I have three mini charm packs from April Showers and just thinking what could I do. Maybe a pouch just for me 😉
34. Hope you had a lovely birthday. I’ve recently bought Jennifer Dicks’ The Modern Applique Workbook. Not a flower in sight! So, I just need lots of fabric…
35. Happy Birthday! Hope you’re having lots of fun!!:D Aurifil looks really scrumptious:) i haven’t bought anything quilty recently:p
36. Happy birthday to you!! I am also in love with cotton + steel and have preordered the basics (I had to be a bit restrained!)
37. Happy Birthday Michelle!
Something I love right now… well, I’ve been all about Botanics lately and even though I’m supposedly working on the Infatuation blocks, yesterday broke into a charm square pack I had of it to make a really simple patchwork quilt. It took me a long time to come around on Botanics as a collection. I was a big fan of the neutrals right from the beginning, but the rest of it took a long time to grown on me. (But now I’ve got a FQ set and a layer cake still to use, even though I’ve gotten started with the charm pack.)
38. Organic cottons and Oakshott, love both Latest purchase is reds for red and black quilt
39. Well, Happy Birthday to you Michelle! I do hope you’ve had a fantastic day and have been spoilt by your family and friends. I reckon my favourite purchase at the moment is some Amy Butler, Soul Blossoms fabric. I ordered it online and wasn’t disappointed when I received it in real life….love the colours and funky patterns…
40. First & foremost I hope you had an amazing birthday!
A couple things I’m in love with right now are 1. My new box of Tula Pink Aurifil! 2. Some amazing Japanese made text/newsprint fabric I picked up. 3. The Indelible line of fabric that will be out soon.
41. Happy happy birthday! I got the Botanics Aurifil too, and I just sit and stare at it sometimes. It’s just so gorgeous. I hope you had a great weekend!
42. Happy Birthday! I love Cotton and Steel too, especially the tigers!
43. I just bought three metres of fabric that has piranahs on it! I am going to make some pj bottoms for my trip home to see my sister and her kids in less than two weeks!! The fabric is red with white and a weird brown/green for teh fish with BIG teeth. Too funny! WOW look at all your Aurifil! Better get more home insurance with all of that indoors!!
44. I usually purchase fabric bundles, I can’t coordinate fabric to save myself. Thanks for your tutorials. Thanks for the giveaway.
45. Happy Birthday! i love pre-cuts, Not sure what to make, but can’t resist them.
46. Oh those threads!! I’ve gotten one box of Aurifil and it is such a lovely way to receive them. I’m trying to have a fabric fast–May was good, and the only thing I’ve bought this month was for a commission (plus a couple of extras since there was free shipping!).
47. Happy Birthday. Another year to look forward to. Love all those threads. The colors are so inviting. So funny, I have no fabrics with words on them. Hmmm, this will have to be changed.
Right now I am working with civil war fabrics. These are so wonderful. I am making a king sized quilt for my sons wedding.
48. Happy Birthday:) I just finished a cowboy birth announcement pillow. It should be on my blog by Wed. Thanks for the great fabric giveaway!!
49. Happy birthday, i hope that there was lots of lovely cake involved too. i am in love with my tumber die which i have just bought, effortless cutting and now i have pretty fabric all quickly made ready for a baby quilt. Thanks for a great giveaway too. x
