Somebody in my blogroll, I can't remember who unfortunately, gave a link to a fabulous site for fabric and put temptation in my way! Truly Scrumptious Fabrics run by Kate Wyatt is Scrumptious by name and scrumptious by nature. These two carefully wrapped packages arrived today within a few days of my ordering. Easter added maybe a day to the delivery.

The first pack is the Neutrals pack which has silks, linens, voiles and taffetas among other beautifully textured fabrics which have already got my imagination drooling! I think some of these are going to go straight into my Journal Quilt for May.

I am not sure that you will get the wonderful vibrancy of this Aquamarine pack which has a wonderful range of glorious blues, turquoises and greens in gorgeous textures that I just want to sit and stroke! I don't even know the name of some of the fabrics but they feel beautiful. Sizes of the fabric vary from fat quarter to smaller pieces.

I have tried to get the colour as close as I can to the actual colours in the photo above. The vibrant turquoise is similar to the fabric I used in my March JQ and I only had a tiny piece of it so I am delighted to have a fat quarter to play with again! (Are these taffettas?) * See Footnote

Each of these packs cost £12.50 (plus postage)/$18.63 and Kate has been very generous with the amount and variety of fabric she has supplied. Added to that, the fabric had all been very carefully pressed/ironed before despatch and looked immaculate on opening the parcels. I don't have any affiliation with Truly Scrumptious but can you tell I'm delighted? I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Kate again in the future. She obviously cares very much about the service she provides.
* Kate sent me an email today with these details

Thank you for the link to the fabrics, just what I needed as I cant get all the fabrics I need for the workshop I am on next week.
I cant wait to see what you do with your selection. Truly scrummy colours in the aqua pack.
That looks like a fabulous selection of fabrics Julie.
Thankyou for sharing the good news with us - your fabrics look lovely and very tempting. I keep saying I wont buy any more stuff but have just sent off an order to Ario and want Maggie Grey's and Carol's books out next month. I shall never be a good saver!
Lovely fabrics Julie, look forward to seeing what you make with them!
beautiful colors
really neat
You are going to have fun with those fabrics, they are gorgeous and although the Aquamarine pack is stunning the neutrals look really exciting - sounds a funny adjective to use about neutrals!
What gorgeous fabrics. That fabulous selection of blues and greens, my favourite colour combination. Can't wait to see you what beautiful creations you make from them. Have fun! Tee Hee. xx
Oh wow!!!! This one will definitely have to go in the favourites, your packs look wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing the link.
Blue and green..... blue and green.... have my two little friends been brainwashing you?
