That's what some kind person should have done to me this morning in my local 'all things fabricy' shop - carried me away, right out the door, escorted to the car, and seen on my way home!
Instead, I lingered! Oh dear!
I only went in for denim and muslin!
But I came out with this lot!
What had happended was the shop had recently acquired a house clearance of wonderful fabric remnants and were actively encouraging customers to have a rummage (oh how I love to rummage!) and then the clincher! They were selling these off at ridiculously cheap prices.
Now this stuff was top quality. I got some sumptuous Italian wool flannel in grey and mustard, and several other large pieces which were only a few pounds per metre. Most of them are 60" wide, so I might try the grey flannel as a quilt back to my Stained quilt (anything to avoid making a pieced back!).
And this aqua something-or-other (don't exactly know what it is) will go lovely in my bedroom, maybe some cushions or a throw or both - there's loads of it!
So you see, I did get a bit carried away, but I could have bought soooooooooo much more!
I think I should stay away from this lovely shop for a wee while!
I love it when someone has as much a lack of self control as I do!!! Great buys.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find - I can't wait to see what you do with it all!!
ReplyDeleteSelf control might have left you but isn't it fun to rummage and find some surprises! Di xo
ReplyDeleteOh wow great buys and lots of bag making potential with that little haul!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we'll be better or worse together at the Tikki.... lol
ReplyDeleteI love it, v jealous to miss out on a fabric romage!!
ReplyDeleteBargains don't count!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Hadley's rules.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!
ReplyDeleteROFL, I think sale fabrics don't count in the same way that birthday cake calories don't count ;o)
ReplyDeleteooo got to love a bargain!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love how much the bargains you did not know you needed cost you so much. I am far worse that you have been, I assure you and I am certain you will put all of it to good use.
ReplyDeleteDitto Susan!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric finds! The aqua reminds me of the m's and o's weaving pattern. I like the texture to it.
ReplyDeleteyou and me are peas in a pod, Mrs, I always look for a bargain, and it doesn't have to be quilters cotton! Love that aqua stuff too, very boho! x
