I SPENT MORE THAN HER!

Yesterday Scrappy and I went off on one of our fabric buying jaunts. You know the ones - train journey, Costa coffee, fabric shop, lunch, train journey, Costa coffee. Anyway, this is what I bought,

Aren't they just gorgeous? They're all backings for quilts I have had ready for ages, so now I have no excuse for not getting on and finishing them do I? Oh yes, and Scrappy insisted that I had to write the title just as it is, cos it's such a rare occurrence, and in block capitals, so I have.

I can go for weeks with almost nothing happening, then suddenly I get a busy week like this one where "things" keep getting in the way of quilting. Last Sunday we had to go down south to be at a funeral on Monday, Tuesday was the above mentioned outing, today it was dental check up day (all clear for another year) and the oven cleaning man is here now to give it it's annual deep clean, tomorrow will have to be housework day and Friday is the start of Easter and son and family are coming up, so I won't be quilting any of my flimsies this week. Now I'm off to research to try and find an Easter egg hunt locally that we can go on. It's no good doing it in our garden; it's so small there's really nowhere to hide anything!

  1. OOh yes they are definitely yummy looking. Especially that top one and the light grey/white. Can't wait to see the quilt that goes with each of them(all quilted!).

  3. I can see 3 of them are so you. Are they widebacks or for something smaller to do on the domestic? Nosey aren't I? Good luck with your Easter Egg hunt and hope the weather is kind over Easter. Take care.

  10. Sue - how pretty your fabrics are. When we lived where the yard was small we had the egg hunt in the house. So many hiding places in there. Now that the girls are older I hid there baskets. I hide them really hard, once it was in the dryer. Another time in the oven. Just fun. I do hope you had a great Easter.

  11. Sorry I am so late catching up with your retail therapy. What lovely fabrics, I especially like the first one (top right of the pile). If you change your mind about it I am sure I can give it a good home here :-}
