You will have a wonderful time in CK's with your quilting friend - I hope you have a spare suitcase each with you for all that lovely fabric!!

I had a great time, took lots of photos, bought lots of fabric. Sadly I was by myself. I will hopefully visit again in 2020 as my daughter is getting married in England. My quilting friend will be with me, so it will be much more fun. I have your dragonfly fabric in another colour way. Your fabric choices are lovely and soft and pretty.Emmbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714452750111235488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-1737586912972605992018-12-14T11:28:49.296-08:002018-12-14T11:28:49.296-08:00Hi hart - it seems to be everyone's favourite ...Hi hart - it seems to be everyone's favourite and I just clocked it out of the corner of my eye and thought "PERFECT"!

I love the layout with all the adjoining little rooms and the sheer amount of fabric takes your breath away. I have a weakness for their Japanese fabrics too. Plus there is an excellent cafe next door.

It is an added bonus to have the wool shop just round the corner and the museum next door. I would love to find a quilting group near me. I have found another knitter who revels in colour so that side is covered.
