Oakshott... seriously drool worthy
Last weekend, Sunday to be precise, I ordered a fat eights bundle of Oakshott Colourshots from the UK. On Tuesday, a Fedex truck pulled up to the house and delivered my fabric. Seriously. Now, in case, you didn't know, I live on the west coast of Canada. That is service. Seriously. I had emailed back and forth with Michaeal, the owner, to inquire about the Twelve Trees pattern. Michael sent the pattern along as a freebie and included a gift voucher and 2 sample packs showing all the colours of the colourshots range. Seriously. That is service.
And the fabric is gorgeous. Drool worthy. Intense colours and the cross weave gives such a sheen to the fabric. Yummy.
We have been having incredibly lovely weather. Little bits of rain and then warm sunny days. My roses are still going for it. I took these pictures yesterday and today. The red roses are HUGE.

What a treat, Cathy! And I love what I can see of that Twelve Trees Quilt Pattern.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for that pattern too!
ReplyDeleteThose colors are intense and beautiful. I love your roses! We have been having pretty much the same weather.

Those fabrics look yummy and your roses are absolutely gorgeous! I think I can smell them! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the button jar rack! Your are a lucky gal to have a husband who can, and will make you such great stuff. Beautiful Oakshott fabrics. I wonder if that is available in the US?
ReplyDeleteOh yum, that is fine service. Wish I could get service like that with Canada Post!! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteNo one delivers as fast as Michael Oakshott, if only all the other fabric companies could figure out how. That is a beautiful bundle of fabrics!
