... and after a bit of this...
 |
| Jan caught me in action! |
... and I only bought this back as I felt a bit daft walking round with just one left! Thank you again to every single one of you who helped me out!
Which was a good job really, because I had to supplement my spending money somewhat after my first foray to Shaukat...
A couple of half meters, and a quarter meter that even has brown in!!! Considering the sheer amount of fabric to chose from, I think I was very restrained.
Not so restrained at the Saturday night quilt market though!
A Pina Colada & Mojitos FQ bundle, selected by my lovely and dearly missed friend Sarah from Cindy's Fluffy Sheep Quilting stall...
A pair of Liberty button badges made by the blooming Ceri...
Two F8th bundles of Oakshott; Michael was even kind enough not to make me go back to my hotel to collect my £5 voucher I stooopidly left packed in my goodie bag...
A super star of Liberty Lifestyle FQs from Fabrics Galore; and why I didn't buy any of the Liberty Hello Kitty, I will never know!...
A pair of green Architextures FQs from Pin It & Stitch...
...and last but most certainly not least, my own bundle of Leanne Fanny scraps, they are so beautiful.
OK so I may also have come home with a Simply Solids pre-order too...
And also my FAL win from Justine...
Mary and I struck a deal a while back, I sent her my Retro Flowers/Drunkards path templates, and she has sorted me out with a couple of lovely vintage sheet FQs...
And that is almost all I came home with.
Tomorrow I will show you the gifts, as they deserve a post to themselves, and then on Friday I promise to show you what I actually made, because I wouldn't want you to think it was all about the shopping, socialising and having fun!
I am now on my summer break, the kids have broken up, so who knows, I may even get time to sew with some of these beauties!
Well done on the swag gathering front. Seriously good choices. Oh and I did check you weren't being mugged before I took the picture. :-) I'm blogging my swag tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWow, good haul! I am having architextures envy, I have somehow managed to fail to buy a SINGLE print from that line, and I neeeeeeed some. Am off to track some down now.
ReplyDeleteOh Hads, best haul yet. Am deeply envious!! Oakshott was going to be where I spent my pennies... Beautiful beautiful haul. xxx (missed you tons too)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous haul! I'm trying not to go crazy gifting myself fabric for my pre-bday.
ReplyDeleteGood work, I too relieved Oakshott of one of those lovely bundles (the brighter one), and managed to nip in with the last scraps from leanne, although a few people cursed me for it, as my little one says, you snooze you lose!
ReplyDeleteYou look like you're dealing tabs not fobs! Love what you bought, particularly the Oakshott (although I had a personal shopper to get what I needed!) and can't wait to see what you're going to make with it all!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of you wheeling and dealing :-)
ReplyDeleteAs personal shopper to Helen - not a bad haul! Not sure whether I should admit to mine!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had bought your last fob! I got hooked on the Oakshotts too - no regrets though! They are just the prettiest fabrics ever x
ReplyDeleteWell obviously you needed to reward yourself for all that hard work...
ReplyDeleteHang on just a second, did you buy solids?!
ReplyDeletewow - that's really good! Glad you managed to subsidise your impressive Oakshott habit!
ReplyDeleteWow - great haul! :o)
ReplyDeleteFabulous haul....we always need a little treat here and there.
ReplyDeleteNice bunch of goodies there my friend! Can't wait to hear more about the retreat!
ReplyDeleteYou did great selling all those fobs and financing the shopping. Happy days!
ReplyDeleteyummy goodies!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove my fob, lots of my colleagues were asking where I got it from :D Great haul too!
ReplyDeleteYou not only did well selling those fobs but you did it all before the quilt market. Hats off to you! Di x
ReplyDeleteI knew you would sell them they are brilliant. I have a double sheet and pillowcases made from the purple leaf fabric in the photo of two vintage pieces. They were my Mothers and I'm keeping the sheet to back my Liberty quilt when I get around to making it. You certainly picked up some great finds!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! love the vintage fabric. looking forward to the next instalment!xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great haul of goodies!! I really resisted the oakshott's but could kick myself now!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd have breathed in if I knew I was being photographed in the fob queue!!
Love my key fob and the other made a great gift for my weekend hosts! Forgot my oak shot vouchers too, must spend it online.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I managed to nab one of your fab key fobs, it's revolutionised my ability to find my keys!
ReplyDeletecongratulations on the sales and the purchases
