The day Viv and I went shopping .....

....... I bought


A lovely book by Susan Briscoe full of lots of lovely tips and great ideas and some gorgeous FQ's.  (Actually I didn't buy the book with her.  I got it the next day;)

Some ric rac, pale lilac solid and some lovely fabric for my new niece's quilt. The rotary cutter I got the next day too.

We went round all the charity shops looking for bargains.  Viv got some lovely corduroy.  She's making a corduroy quilt à la Gee's Bend and she also got the bargain of the year.  She found this http://tinyurl.com/2arqm3g for the princely sum of £1.50.  I had to content myself with the Katherine Guerrier book for £1.00.  it's got some good ideas for colour combinations.


However, I did manage to get these lovely FQ's with a ric rac design before she did!  She was busy buying up the whole stock of ric rac LOL!


 I just love those FQ's together.  The colours are amazing.


And I just had to have that blue spotted batik and, of course, the spider web fabric.


Thanks for a brilliant day Viv.  Did you tell your Mother I'm not a mad axe killer!
