I have just received a delivery of the most fragrant, fresh lavender - harvested this month. The farm had an amazing crop this year after all the rain and the lavender is plump and bountiful. It's a distinctive and engagingly scented modern lavender with a captivating perfume. I am packaging it into 100gm packs.
The little Lavender Puffs pictured are from my kit range and will have some of the new lavender in each pack. They're made of lavender/grey dupion silk embellished with silk velvet puffs, beads and French crinkle ribbon leaves.These little puffs make beautiful gifts and Mothers day is not too far away.

More Progress
At last the centre block is finished and I've started designing and cutting out the shapes for the smaller blocks. Pictured is the block for the top centre. It's just pinned in place at the moment as I'm still trying out the colours to see how it looks.

Crazy Patchwork Passion.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtOBETJH6oVcIwGNQp9mh8ZeNuhIoi27MLv_1BAAyMkbpRP8dzdlR-cPE64-v5qbxR-GHFLej7jGCKue4FrY20LkHdIf_k5iY76feVvmp9Ut0dNRo8l0Jm0iq4M6gQ7808ARdBlw-Z1k/s400/trims2.jpg)
Mokuba trims are of such quality and are so beautiful to use, they are impossible to pass over for cheaper varieties and of course there is nothing as elegant as the French ribbons and braids. I love to work on crazy patchwork just to have an excuse to use little snips.
Along with the trims, ribbons, silk fabrics and bead embellishments are the Au Ver A Soie perlee threads. They have such gorgeous antique colours and they slide through the fabric like butter. They come on little wooden reels and you'll be hooked once you try them.
