Isn't buying fabric addictive? One piece just isn't enough and you try to tell yourself "I'm going to be good and not buy anymore"..............yeah right!!! I bought these fat 1/4s at my local Newsagent. They have a lovely little corner with all sorts of quilting bits and bobs and every time I go in there the fabric calls me over. Good thing I live 125km away from the Newsagent. I'm planning to do a Stack n Slash with them and thought I would add lace here and there. I have never made one before but can't wait to get started. Just have to finish what I am doing at the moment. Don't want a UFO flying around :)
When I went to Hetty's Patch with my sister I just happened to pick up this fabric. I could have picked up more.........lots more.........but was trying to be good. Now I am home I wish I had been bad, very bad!! The 2 top pieces I just had to have and the 2 bottom pieces have already been cut to make the sashing and borders for my Friendship quilt from my quilting group. Once it is all finished I will post a pic to show you all.Patchwork Hugs,

I wished my newsagent sold stuff like this.
Nice haul there Deb. Never mind more to get next time - something to look forward to.
How lovely Deb , I'd have to stop reading the newspaper though , lol !
I have never heard of a newsagent selling fabric :) It would be my first stop shopping. I like your choices of fabric too Debs and look forward to seeing what you make with it all.
Lovely fabric - I can't believe you bought those from a newsagent.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. The wife of the Newsagent lives at Roxby Downs and has a Quilting shop up there. The husband is in Burra and she puts some of her stuff in there. Wonderful for us Burra Quilters!!
