Finished Quilts

confessions...

... of a fabric nature.  As you know, I'm on a fabric fast, living off of my stash as much as I can this year.  Only I fell off the wagon, big style, with a huge thump.  Gluttony! Shame! The horror! And it all started with temptation put in my way by someone who knew better but did it any way (*cough* JoJo *cough*).  Oh and I had an Enternal Maker gift voucher staring at me from its washi taped place on the wall.

So in the name of full disclosure here's what happened in a mad half hour last week....

to bolster my desire to start making some of my own clothes, a wadge (technical term for waaay too much) of Double Gauze from the Eternal Maker....

beautiful print and great colours

because Kate at M is for Make was practically paying me to take them off her hands, some "in the sale" metre-age (flipping heck!) of Melody Miller....



I love them both (and I have the moth in dark too)  Skirts?  Tops?  Keep forever and stroke from time to time?  So many options!  Actually I've just piled up my MM fabric and it's shocking - I need to do something soon.  Like buy more?  Because that's what I did!

Some sparkly phones from Village Haberdashery, anyone?...


And that's it (apart from some butterfly fabric I bought for my sister to make dresses for Lady G but that doesn't count).  Oh and because I'm a doofus, I had to buy a charm pack to save the Bumblie Bee block I'm making for Tracey.

I feel a little queasy *quickly phones bank to explain*......

  3. that doesn't seem like much to me, and you have to take into account the savings you made, then deduct them from the total you spent - that's the LAW

  4. You naughty, naughty lady, i like your style! Beautiful buys, and maybe you should introduce a fabric budget rather than a ban, and you might feel like you get a treat for being good? :o)
