Vintage and other finds! ;-)



I stumbled across a lovely patchwork quilt at the fair. It was on Donna's fab stall .

I've put it in its temporary home for the mo!



My other fabric finds:

The gaudy green is actually a scarf

but I thought it might be useful in some way!



I've been collecting FQs of vintage fabric,just for me!

Lately, I have added a few more to my small stash.

The larger pieces are earmarked for cushions!




I came across the CK Lupin fabric on Etsy.

I'm especially fond of this fabric as I've a bag

in another colourway..and love it!




One day,when things are not as hectic,

I might put all of these together, to make a quilt!

Meanwhile...










I've found just the place to sit and enjoy

these:



I'm certainly enjoying the new Mollie Makes mag!

and then there's this lovely book...




'A Second Helping' arrived today. I ordered it back in January

having been given the first helping for a birthday present!





Finally, I picked up this gorgeous little book at the fair.

More pics next week when I show and tell a few books !

And I'll also be getting ready for a new vintage fair ,

to be held next weekend, at Tavistock Town Hall.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

I'm off on a jolly tomorrow...naturally!!

  6. Mollie Makes is a really interesting read isn't it. I don't make very much, but it still appeals. Love the new quilt.
