new home

This book shelf I got of my son in law


It has been hand made out of scrap wood . It is ideal for my fabric . So I started sorting out all my fabric last night . I started stacking my fabric into the book shelf .I have got a lot more fabric to put in to the shelf but I will get it gone .Now I can find the fabric I am looking for . I use to keep them in a tub .When I went through the tub to look for a peace of fabric I would have a mess. It was going to end up on the tip so I have gave it a good home .

Fabric From Calico Crossroad

I went for a drive with DH on Tuesday over to Exeter .



We called in to calico crossroads .DH drop me of to look at some fabric.But Pauline and my self got talking and before long DH was back . So he decided to come into the shop while I was picking my fabric out .DH said he would go and sit in the car because picking fabric out was as boring as watching paint dry. This is the fabric I picked out. The brown with small flowers on it is for the binding for my car quilt ..
