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!

Wow this will look amazing when finished. Look forward to updates.....Gee I wanna shop at your fabbie shop what a bargain. My shop measures to the exact metre, no more no less, and if you come to the end of the bolt you don't get it they put it in the scrap bin....grrrrr

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.

Hugs - Marie

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.
