Roxy field note happy mails & vintage feed sack style fabric haul

Sharing some special happy mail recipients who will be receiving field notes inspired stamped fabrics, inspired by the #Roxysjournalofstitchery Field Notes project.
Plus a haul of gorgeous vintage feed sack inspired fabrics that I was lucky enough to purchase for a bargain from Crooked Quilt Fabrics: www.crookedqui...
I just love the spring like designs on these fabrics - so cheery!

Yay 💙🧵🪡

Thanks a million, Christine! I'm so lucky to get something from you and I am so grateful. Those charm packs remind me of 40s/50s casual dresses - they'd look great as vintage dresses on some pieces being slow stitched.

Congrats Rachel!! :) xo

Wonderful idea for these fabrics and so happy they bring back memories. Looking forward to getting the little packages out this weekend 🤗

Thanks Giusi 🤗

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Christine for your video and congratulations to all the winners. Lovely fabrics and thank you for going through them so thoroughly. Often, especially if we need to buy online we don't get to see all the fabrics in a charm pack so this was really appreciated. I think if you are a maker it's never to early to think Christmas. It does creep up on you and it is so nice to be organised.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Carol - Im glad you enjoyed the charm pack flick through. I enjoyed seeing what was in them too. I did love those little bees with leaf wings 🤗And you’re very right about Christmas prep. Cheers, Christine

[@anne-marielewis7529]

Aww congratulations to the winners, what a lovely prize. 😊 I think charm packs are one of my favourite things in the world, haha! As others have said, the world is in turmoil, but love and prayers are the most powerful forces we have! ❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you Anne - lovely to find other charmpack-fanciers 🤗 They are mini packages of joy! And like you, continuing to send lots of love out into the world. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@bestcrossroad]

Hi Christine! Cute & happy colors you got on those packs. Yes, we do need a lot of love and understanding & kindness in this world ( re: sad event yesterday at the rally). Thank you for verbalizing it. We are in a subdued mood . But, we’re optimistic that good will always triumph over evil. We go on with lots of hope. And we need to, there’s a lot of stitching to do and lots of fabric to conquer! Have a good week. Take care. Hugs. 🌸tess

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

I like that Tess, let’s all stay optimistic about good triumphing over evil. Sending love to all xxx

[@debrablanson2288]

Of course want to see Christmas stuffs 😊😊😊

Thanks Debra - time is whizzing my so I better get started soon! ❤️💚

[@DottyBeeVintage]

Love all your new fabrics and you know me so well! I love the feed sack style prints ❤️💛🩷

Thanks Sally - hope you manage to find some of these closer to you 🤗

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Congratulations to all the winners!🎉 lovely bunch of fabrics Christine. You certainly got a good deal. No, I don't mind seeing Christmas stuff already. I agree, you have to start thinking about gifts or decorations you are going to make. It's perfectly reasonable for you to mention the tragedy that happened here, we are all affected in some way. It doesn't matter if we are a republican, Democrat or independent, what happened yesterday was a tragedy for all of us. We need to pray for the families that were horribly affected by this senseless act. We need to pray for all our leaders and those in their courts. And, by the way, your sneezes are so cute and dainty. I inherited my Daddy's sneeze, It's very loud. TFS 😊

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you Kim and for your perfect words. We need compassion and care in this world for sure. Alex has the loudest sneezes I have heard and the first time Travers heard it he came running up to Alex and jumped on him excitedly, and he still does it every time now. Makes me laugh. I hope you’re doing ok and have a good weekend. Cheers, Christine

[@lovecraftwithme]

Thank you for another lovely video, and yes it's totally valid to acknowledge the strife in our world. Congratulations to the winners - I'm sure they'll love the stamped fabric. Thank you for showing the fabric, it's nice to get some insider information on where to buy some fabric besides spotlight and opshops. have a good week

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Clove tea sounds wonderfully warming and always great to have some Suffolk puffs for stitching onto our pieces. I do love second hand fabrics but those charm squares are such a good way to have lots coordinating variety in a small space 🤗 Continuing to send lots of love out into the world too 💛 cheers and hope you have a good weekend. 💙🧵🪡

[@Ann-eh7ii]

Beautiful fabrics I am also a quilter so this is a great reminder to locate my charm squares. ❤❤❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Ann - yes, definitely look out those charm packs and have fun creating 🤗

[@artyfartyannie]

Well done to all the winners, what a sweet and inspiring prize! Love stash of fabrics there Christine, such a bargain too. hehe that sneezing thing is strange - I've heard people say that if you feel a sneeze coming on, you can make it happen by looking at the sunlight through the window, so you're not alone :)

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Annie - love the charm packs (loved the one you were gifted from your friend too) and sunny sneezes are indeed strange but amusing ☀️🤗

Congratulations to the winners . Lovely fabrics Christine . As for Christmas I’ve already made nearly all my Xmas cards . Plan to make a Christmas Tilda doll for a friend and start making it very soon . So as you may guess I’ve got no problem with you sharing your Christmas bits and bobs . xxx

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Wow you’re going so well with your Christmas preparations 🤗

[@patriciapage7197]

@@createandcraftwithchristine I’m in a group where we make a themed Christmas card every week right through the year . Must admit I’ve not been doing them every week just bulk make when I can put my sewing down. It’s taken over my paper crafting 🙄 x

[@judyantczak8180]

" jaunty and fun " ... lovely description!! [ thank you for your mention of the ugliness going on here in the States ... some days I despair, and hand-stitching is my happy place ]

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

I’m glad you enjoyed the jaunty and fun reference. Meanwhile continuing to send love out into the world and sending an extra hug your way xx

Oh yes please Christmas in July it’s the only time in Aussie we get cold weather and always luv to be getting organised for Xmas 🎅 luv your videos

Thanks Eve - you’re right that it’s a good time to get cosy and Christmas craft 🤗

[@elizabethrobinson5706]

The charm packs are so lovely and remind me of dresses I had when I was little. Mum made my sister and I the same dresses, then I got the hand me down so the same dress again a couple of years later. The Lori Holt fabric is fab especially the pattern pieces one. I am so happy to be back, don't let me wander off again lol. Elizabeth 😂🦋🐌🌺🌻

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Lovely memories Elizabeth even if the dresses probably felt a bit like dejavu. I grew up a bit of a tomboy because I ended up with my brothers hand me downs but did have a family friend who shared her daughter’s lovely dresses and I was always so excited when one of those bags came with lots of pretty things. I still love wearing dresses in the warmer weather. Cheers, Christine

[@merridithnewman2400]

thanks for showing all of these fabric samples - I love a good bargain as well - I’m going over to her website e now :)

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Merridith - hope you found some lovely goodies at a great price 🤗

[@creepycutiecrafty]

Congratulations to the winners! Those are such lovely goodie bags! I love those tiny charm sets. The variety is so good. I’d love to see what you make with them. Thank you for acknowledging the incident in the USA so sensitively. We absolutely need more thoughtful and loving to our neighbours, whoever they are.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you my friend - charm packs are like miniature stashes - great for space saving variety. Continuing to send love out into the world 💙

[@candicepierce5726]

Congratulations to the winners. I checked out the crooked quilt site and it looks like Lovestruck was the only charm pack left. Good price but unsure if they ship to Canada, or how much shipping might be.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Candice - hopefully you can find some charm pack bargains closer to home. I keep an eye out across online quilting stores as most have sales at different times and often discount older charm packs when new stock arrives. Cheers, Christine
