Being an independent quilter I don't rely on sponsor's*
for my fabrics.
However I do have my own fabric sponsors
they are my family and friends.
Last week was my birthday week
and it was overflowing with fabric.
The first was a luscious bundle across the pond from my pal Mary
from Molly Flanders
I'm sure you have all met her by now,
but if not go take a look,
she is a true inspiration.
Thank you Mary!!
Another bloggy friend who is never empty handed
Lisa from Jumble and Jelly
gave me these two above.
Fabric is fabric,
I don't care if they've had a past life,
I can give them new lives.
The turquoise has already been chopped!
The very pretty rose floral is a huge pair of rescued curtains
courtesy of my Mother in law.
I thought they would make great outdoor cushions or
hang them as they are!!
That was until I found this beauty.
£5 from a charity shop!
I think it's vintage...it's called anemone from fothergay.
There is at least 5 metres of it.
I think it would make an awesome door curtain for our new extension,
just don't tell the old man!
How lucky am I?
I think I shall make a new resolution
that my birthday week will always
contain fabric in some form or other.

*ps I'm not immune to the idea of a fabric sponsor,
I'll do anything for fabric!
