Recently we had new neighbours move into the house opposite ours. Previously rented by students thankfully it was sold and a lovely couple moved in. They spent some time renovating the house and then had a party! We were kindly invited though I let my husband babysit and I went over for some Pimm's. Obviously I took a gift, a monogrammed tea towel - really everyone should have one - and a little pinchy oven glove (that I must have forgotton to take a picture of).
'G' enjoys baking so I thought he would appreciate the gifts! Having already been in the house and seen glimpses before the party I knew they have modern, sophisticated taste and I thought cool graphic prints would look good. I'm really pleased with how it turned out and so glad to have such a sweet and fun couple living on my street!
Just to let you know the Fat Quarter Shop currently has a great special offer this week of 25% off all Moda fabrics, make sure you enter the code MODA at checkout.
Have a great weekend!

What a lovely gift for new neighbors, and that is super cool that they had a housewarming party and invited you.
That is awful nice of you, Lucy! Thanks for sharing in TGIFF!
Hello, just visiting through the Crazy Mom link up, what a good idea for a new house gift, I love the urban style fabrics you've used.
I want to be your neighbour if I get gifts like this! :-)
Great gift. Love the fabrics you chose for it.
Aren't you a kind soul! Lovely thoughtful gift!
Wow- so much better than a plant or casserole. I've got new neighbours due any week now. I'm afraid they'll get a cake at best!
Lovely gift Lucy! :-)
Yay for fab pressies!
Great gift, you will be their favourite neighbours now. x
Thoughtful and pretty.
Nice gift but I'm more G&T ! Not really Pimms though and you have me!
Very creative but I wouldn't expect anything less from you..
It makes a big difference having neighbors you like, doesn't it? I really should have made some cute towels like that when my neighbors moved in...
They'll be inviting you over for pimme again after receiving that cool monogrammed teatowel.
What a thoughtful gift, Lucy!
Great gift! And yes, I made that discovery on the FQS website! Dangerous business 'window shopping' on that site! Luckily the NZ dollar is high against the US$ at the moment!
What a fab idea for a gift! I bet G was very pleased!
