Yes, I had a shopping list. I did buy proper quilting needles for my sewing machine. I passed on the ultra expensive Best Pins for quilting. RIDICULOUS prices esp. as made in China like everything else. I pondered whether to improve my rotary cutter by buying a new one with titanium blades. As I had recently bought blades (non Titanium) for the one I have, I let that rest. Fabrics it was then. Some felts to take the place of the woollen fabrics suggested in the cushion I want to make from Kim Diehl's Simple Harvest (they are wool felt anyway).
That's my dehumidifier they're on (currently drying my clothes and extracting moisture in the Utility Room, under the laundry poles in the corner. The single ones were 80p each and I think it was just under £11 the lot.
A Christmas bundle. I think this was £11, so not bad value. I want to make a tree skirt this year.
These gorgeous different colourway variations on William Morris' s Strawberry Thief tempted me on Doughty's stand, as well as the half metre below I bought from them too. £3 per fat quarter.
This is from the Fine French Linen stand and it will go with these below which I bought at the Builth Quilt show back in the spring. They had a kit/pack of pattern and fabric for a gorgeous triangles quilt but that was about £120! I will make up my own. Perhaps just a lap quilt. This was 1/2m for £7.
Plus a metre of this gorgeous pink print which won't go to waste with grand-daughters in the family. £7.
I nearly forgot, this is the cushion cover for me to embroider for a friend for Christmas. £8. I shall start on that this evening. There should be a new video from Rewilding Jude, and I'm looking forward to that.
I have lots of fabrics to make things with over the winter now, as it could either be very cold or very wet and windy or a combination of both.
Podcasts for the last two days were from Three Ravens (ghosty stories for Halloween) and two brilliant podcasts from The Rest is History about King Arthur and his Knights.
