From the top, we have 2 fat quarters of 3 Sisters Faded Memories ... these were $2.00 each. Next is 1/2 metre of Sweet Romance by Blackbird Designs .... this is earmarked for Anni Downs' Christmas Story Quilt and was 40% off. At the bottom are 2 metres of Cinnamon Stars by Figtree Quilts ... at 60% off I just had to have this!
This is an At Water's Edge by Blackbird Designs jellyroll I found very cheap on the internet before the Australian dollar plummeted. At least the dismal dollar has curbed my overseas fabric purchases for a while. There is already enough in my stash to keep me busy for a very, very long time!
Don't you love the swirly pattern the strips make?
Block 5 of Truly Scrumptious is finished, with block 6 about 1/2 completed.
Couldn't resist a close-up of this pretty lady.
A few people have queried why it is a long weekend in Tasmania. Well, it's actually only the north of the state that have the long weekend as the south have a holiday in February for the Hobart Regatta. Tomorrow's holiday is just to even things up. I am busy sewing log cabins blocks today. Will take some pictures tomorrow if the weather is better .. very grey today.

ReplyDeleteAs to the fabrics -- yummy is definitely the word! Absolutely gorgeous.
I too have had to stop buying fabric from overseas now - the high Aussie dollar was fantastic for my fabric stash while it lasted!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little visit - have really enjoyed stumbling across your blog. Love that stitchery of the little lady and dog - is it something I can buy here in Australia? Yes, so sad about the $ affecting our retail therapy in the US - maybe we should all be a bit more frugal, anyhow!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Lurline!

Beautiful fabrics and bargains to boot! I'm also a fan of The Quilted Crow, such lovely displays, can never leave without a little something. Thanks for the welcome back to blogland.
ReplyDeleteThat was some bargain hunting!
ReplyDeleteAm blog-hopping my way through Chookyblue's SSCS list to see who else is playing along.
I have just discovered your blog. Is this Scrumptious needlework a pattern or is it your design? I have never seen it. Your work is lovely and so is your blog. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely fabric Christine I love your stitchery's too.
