John Lewis made me buy brown fabric! I needed buttons and a magnetic snap, I bought buttons, (but not for the original project), bobbins, ribbon and fabric. Lots of fabric!
It wasn't my fault, they were selling Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow at £5.10/m (c. $7US/yd), that's half price!
5 meters found their way into my basket, but it was too good an offer for me to resist.
I am now re-thinking my Swoon and Stained fabrics, and a few other projects I have in mind too.
Tomorrow I promise you colours-galore, and touch-wood, a Cherry Star finish. The top is now complete - and I am hoping to get the fleece backing on this evening.
Monday is an Inset day, so the kids and I are planning a pyjama day!
Yeah for pyjama day! Nice fabric Hadley and looking forward to those three quilts!
ReplyDeleteDon't be telling me these things! I have no money!!
ReplyDeleteMore brown eh? Jxo
ReplyDeleteHeh, I might have had some of those sorts of bargains leap into my basket earlier in the month. Mine were in the navy and orange colourways though ;o)
ReplyDeleteSee....brown can be a great colour! Love the fabric! "Inset" day??????
ReplyDeleteSEE ...brown can be not only good but GREAT xx
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric choices. No pyjama days for me, all my youngsters all grown up, and no inset days any more.
ReplyDeleteBTW I've just read that M&M are releasing a "Ms. Brown" M&M during the Superbowl next week!!! Looks like brown might take off after all!!
ReplyDeleteWho could resist a bargain like that! Hope you enjoy the INSET you lucky thing (INSET is in service training - a day for teachers to keep up to date on their subject and teaching skills and new initiatives, the kids have the day off)
ReplyDeleteOMG! Well Jel! Googling my nearest JL store now! xx
ReplyDeleteNow, that's a great deal...but Hadley? Brown?
ReplyDeleteA brown convert, is the sky falling in on you? Nice fabrics.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics! Now quit teasing about the Made in Cherry and put up some pictures!
ReplyDeleteBlue water hadn't tempted me, (I'm not much of a shopping centre shopper) but a John Lewis with fabric certainly ticks boxes!
ReplyDeleteGood old John Lewis - such a pain you can`t order online. Love your purchases Hadley!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I missed commenting yesterday and already you are not just allowing as there are some nice browns, but you have gone and bought them. Before we know it you will be making a brown quilt, and then what?

ReplyDeletemmmm. lovely! my cherry star is all cut. now to sew!
ReplyDeleteOh to live on planet mainland... Very jealous.... Love JD... Have a wonderful PJ day, I'll be doin that too!
ReplyDeleteOh those are beautiful! And I know exactly where you are coming from with only being able to go into certain shops without the kids!I will have to be more careful from now on though if shops are MAKING you buy fabric ; )
ReplyDeleteI have bought almost the same bundle..heaven is a john lewis fabric sale!
ReplyDeleteSee all browns are not evil. Great bargain, lucky you to pick up those very nice Joel fabrics.
