and I really hate shopping and shop browsing so I decided to go to a fabric shop about 35minutes drive away (Craft Depot). A friend of mine had told me they were having a big sale and with nothing better to do I figured why not?It was soooo crowded but lots and lots of fabrics.
I came out with a couple of metres of backing fabric (the purple); two metres of each of the cream and the purple floral. They will be used as sashing and borders for my 'healing heart' quilt; half meter of red chrissy fabric and a metre of the other cream 
(which has a lovely gold overprint that is showing up as grey on the photo).
(which has a lovely gold overprint that is showing up as grey on the photo).I intend to make a long table runner with the last two, using the red as binding. I have some really lovely poinsettia designs for my embroidery machine that I think will look lovely. Will make it with pointed ends and will put a gold tassel either end.
I have also started sewing out the designs for my new quilt. And yes I have finally finished the two quilts for my sisters' Christmas presents.
Surprise, surprise my new quilt (for me) has purple designs.
This is the original from Skeldale House but I have changed the colours to cream for the candlewick, mauve for the flower, soft green for the leaves. Also I am only using the full designs and putting them on point. Probably only one or two long strips with patchworking either side and in the sashing.
Have already got the fabric for that - the mauve for part of the sashing is similar to the cream fabric for my table runner except it has a silver overprint. Also have some pastel green floral almost a tone on tone that I will use as a peeper on the sashing (I think). The blocks themselves are done on cream.
