I bought this today. I went in for 1 skein of DMC in red for my woolaholics kitchen swap, and saw this fabric. Loved it immediately.
Its 2.6m wide backing fabric, but far too nice to go on the back of anything I say. I would like to makea pinny for Jenna from it, teamed with Denim, and I think I would like to make a skirt from it for me. But I have no idea what pattern and I just dont have time to do anything now.
So it might go in the box for NZ where it will get used.
I think Tikki may like it too, so I might see if she wants a swatch to make something for her little girl.
The other thing I could do is use it for a bedspread - just an all over quilted pattern on it, some batting, a binding (I'm thinking scalloped) and voila - a new bedspread.
Thankfully the shop keeper marked it down for me in order for me to take the last of it on the bolt. There was 2m, and I really only wanted 1.5, so she knocked the price down from $35 to $26 for me. Ah a bargain - I love a bargain ;)
Wont let me load the picture on.... Grrr

New Fabric!


Yay for spotlight sales! It seems crazy to buy fabric when I can get it from mum, and I have plenty in my stash, but I saw these today and couldn't resist.
The spotty one I think will be for a new bag for me. I want a nice large sturdy bag, like a lined tote or something, I shall hold the fabric until I find the right pattern.
The red fabrics are going to be a new quilt. I think I'll make a sampler with it - I have 4.5m of the red floral, so thats the borders, and I have previously made a red/green quilt for my niece as a present, so I have lots of scraps that will work well in sampler blocks!
Fun fun fun - now just to find the hours in the day :D
