Shopping

Last week I received a text message from a local quilt shop advising the shop was closing down.  All fabrics were $10/metre and everything else was 50% off.  While feeling sad that another quilt shop is closing its doors, Sharon, Paula and I did our best to contribute to their closing down sales figures.

Fabrics, ruler, patterns, templates, blades, needles, threads

I bought the three fabrics on the left in the sale and they tone in so well with other Lakehouse Dry Goods fabrics, plus a few others, in my stash - plenty of plans for these fabrics.

The big bargain of the shopping trip?


A new sewing machine for the frame - at 50% off, how could I leave the machine in the shop? I've been looking for a larger-throated machine for a while now.  Haven't unpacked the machine yet as the quilting I've been doing over the weekend has been ditch-stitching small quilts.

Criss Cross - love the Peter Rabbit flannel backing

 And, lastly, the rosebud I showed last week, has bloomed.  This is a big deal for us - 2 roses now on the archway.
