This gathering of quilters, aka fabric collectors, is also a good opportunity to move some of my superfluous fabric on to good homes - the contents of a (small) chest of drawers are in the trolley. There is room for my pjs and other essentials. And the workshop requirement is in the picture too, mustn't leave that behind! -
By Sunday afternoon I'm sure I'll know how to do lots of things other than check emails and watch tv.
Although I tried several times to put this piece of "ecru voile" into the "moving on" bag, it insisted on staying with me for now -
Bought from Nice Irma's, on Goodge Street, way back when ... must have been the 1990s. Nice Irma's Floating Carpet opened in 1972 as a hippy emporium, says this 1997 article on "the new Asian cool". Then - can't remember when - the shop shut, and a little lunch hour excursion fell out of my life. Nice Irma's is still trading online -- but without the shop it's just another company name.
Just think - we could well have been lunchtime browsing side by side in Nice Irma's. I used to love that place. I also miss the lovely times I had in Sanderson's tea room, just round the corner. Happy days!
