Old fabric

These fabrics are usually safely tucked up in a trunk, but Sue came round and we looked through them. On pulling these out, I realised they came from the late 70s. "Time to get rid of them," said Sue. I felt happy with that decision.
Those polkadots (lawn bought in 1988, £1 a yard) are destined for a blouse: "It's a polka-dot moment now, " said Sue, "so you'd better make that blouse right away." We also identified some fabrics for kimono-type dressing gowns for various people.

Sue brought along her almost-finished "bowls" piece - a delightful counterpoint to the piece by Margaret Anderson that's been hanging on my wall for a few years.

Wow, quite the old stash LOL.

Are you going to the quilt show in Birmingham in August? I'll be there all the way from Canada.. August 17th from 10.00AM to 5.00PM (just in case you're thinking of going).
