Yes, more fabric!

I have been naughty...

I have been shopping again...

For fabric, of course!


I did need this fabric...

And even though I only wanted three quarters of a yard, the shop girl gave me what was left on the roll...

Cos she didn't want to cut it into fat quarters!

I ended up with nearly three yards for $5.00!!


There's nothing I like better than a bargain!



And just fell in love with this!

It is a wonderful linen by Lecien!


which I've teamed with a fabulous red spot!


It will make a fabulous bag, I think!

And I am also getting ready for some serious handquilting...

 I haven't used these before and couldn't decide which colour to buy!

Or, as you can see, which size/No.???!!!


Pretty, hey?

I do have a definite plan though....


Have I given you enough clues.....? ? ?

I'm hand quilting my tree quilt, and I have the backing now too!


Now I just need to find the time!!

Happy sewing!

    i love the backing fabric. That's me to a 't'. I can't find a sharp enough needle to go with the heavier cotton - what size and type are you going to use.

    Hand quilting this piece will really make it sing. It is such a great quilt, it is worth the time to hand quilt. Love the backing fabric.
