today I went to a craft fair in Cardiff. I last went to it two years ago and it was good, so excitedly I trotted off to it today.
Well, this time, i was limiting myself to fabric only - avoiding the cross-stitch stands (as I have a few kits and patterns waiting to be done). And it could have a been a disaster, as there were only three stands!!!! But luckily for me, i wasn't really after something particular - just needed some fabrics to applique, and other 'staples'. And also luckily the prices were reasonable (for the UK). so I went a little crazy, and got quite a few fabrics.
so here are some piccies of some of the fabrics I purchased.


so my next question was - do I wash the fabrics or nto before using them .....

finally, the mother goose applique quilt is finally moving forward again after stalling. I have one block left to do, plus some little bits on each one (like the nursery rhyme title) and then will put together before I take another picture. I am thinking that for hte eyes, as they are buttons, to put them on after it is quilted. not sure though.
