Now that I'm home and have recovered from walking *hundreds* of miles (my feet tell me I'm not exaggerating much) I can show you day 2's shopping haul:
The Warm Company were giving away wadding (batting) in exchange for an email address: Warm and White on Friday, and Soft and White on Saturday - thank you, I'll have some of that!
There was a stall selling 150cm wide fabric cut into 50cm lengths (so nearly the size of 3 FQs) for £3:50 a piece, so I bought some red and whites from them, and I picked up some £1 FQs that will be great for Sunday school.
I also got some picture FQs, some buttons and some beads, some sea fabric for a lighthouse quilts I've been asked to make, and that wibbly pink frame is a pompom maker - the ladies on the stall made it look really easy!
I think that's about all :-)
I did take some photos of some fab quilts - they are on the Private Use page
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Nice haul!
ReplyDeleteYou did well! The pompom maker intrigues me though...
ReplyDeleteso good to meet you on friday, now when I read you blog I can remember the lovely chat we had. See you had a good spend, I only managed one lot of batting and that was a polyester one.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a great haul of treasures there and it sounds like you had a wonderful time :)
ReplyDeleteLovely - and it doesn't look too extravagant!
ReplyDeleteI spy VW van fabric. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe pompom maker looks intriguing, the stallholders always make these things look so easy don't they!
