Well of course you want to see what I came home with, don’t you! First up is the lovely selection of fabrics that came home with me. I thought some other people were being very restrained walking around the store deciding what to pick, whereas I’m more get in there and take what you want as soon as you see it and lug the bolts around the store with you!!
I also love these little liberty rolls for hair ties and will also use this for hexagons for the current quilt I’m working on
and I also picked up this little panel for a cushion or canvas for retro daddy, the melbourne boy that he is.
and lastly here is what I was working on at the crafting session, large hexagon flowers for a quilt. These will be appliqued to a white background. I think I need a scary amount of these to be finished to make a large quilt but I’ll get there, they are perfect for night time when everyone has gone to bed and I can pull out the scissors and needles.
These are hunky dory charm squares and I’ll mix in a range of pinks, greens, yellows and blues from my own stash for the quilt.
ooh i like that panel! who’s making those?
i’m missing out on so much crafty goodness over here in perth…
Are you going to join karens One flower wednesday. Its on my blog. I love doing the flowers.
Sounds like you’re my kind of shopper Corrie. I like to grab bolts of fabric too.
Gorgeous fabrics, I’m a little jealous! I’m the same and carry bolts around the shop with me, not easy with a buggy!
i love your fabric choices! I’m a bit like you too – i tend to grab the bolt if i like it and end up trying to juggle half a dozen! can’t wait to see what you make with them…
Looking fab Corrie.
A great couch project for you.
I’m very inspired by your hexs.

Your stash makes me want to drool. I’m so jealous of people with great fabric stores nearby. Maybe you could give your fabrics some love from me.

Love the fabrics in your hexies! So neat how you have put them all together
Love the loot and the hexies.
I have the melbourne panel that I covered a canvas with. I just had to buy extra black linen to sew on the 4 edges to get it to fit over a square canvas. I get lots of comments about it!
Love your hexi flower, the fabric is really pretty.
I’m so incapable I don’t know what I’d do wiht them but I love the prints! Especially the headscarf one! 😀
