Confession Time

I received a box in the post yesterday. There might have been a little bit of fabric in it. Honestly, I blame IG, and those pop up sales. Westwood Acres, Knotted Thread and Pink Castle have a lot to answer for. A lot!


Shall we break it down a little bit?

Two bundles of Alison Glass.
A little bit more low volume.
A rainbow bundle,
and various FQs (several should be in the LV bundles actually).
 
Some half yards I couldn't resist,
and a charm pack of Katy Jump Rope.
And some scraps from my friend Di.
Emily already has her name on the Dr Seuss - especially The Grinch!
If you break it down into individual bundles it doesn't seem so bad, does it?! It wasn't my fault! Really, IG made me do it. That's my excuse, and I am sticking to it.

  2. I looked and I tried real hard, but I can't see anything that that you could possibly have turned down. It's a burden that I feel you were right to carry.
    (don't tell Em, but I have yardage of the grinch fabric)
