I practiced a minimum amount of restraint before we returned here and partook of a tasty lunch (if I may say so myself), and talked for England. It's always a good day when you can hang out with friends.
And just in case you think my life consists of fabric shopping and eating, and little else. Here's the latest update on the hexie quilt. Making progress here folks. It is starting to really show the pattern up nicely.
And, yes, my slippers are super comfy.

Such beautiful hexies!!
ReplyDeleteLove the spotty slipper!
ReplyDelete& and the hexis are nice too!
That's the way to spend a lovely day: chatting, food and fabric, and a little sewing, bliss! And your hexies are really coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteLove the Bramble Patch! My favourite 'real' quilt shop. Feeling a little envious... Gorgeous hexagons.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be huge! Love it and your shopping
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely - except for the bit where poor Ange gets the blame! Your hexies are coming along brilliantly and the look great!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! You bought beautiful Fabrics! Who goes to a fabric shop without buying anything ... or a yarn shop? Your hexies are sweet and makes me miss hand piecing. x Teje
ReplyDeleteWell I think that wee haul makes up for missing out on stuff during the destash, no? Lovely picks as always.

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful are these little ones! And yes, very cute slippers, indeed! :) That looks like a yummy lunch, can I come over, too? :)))))
ReplyDeleteHexies look great. I suspect if I was close to a quilt shop I could just pop into my fabric diet resolve would waver a lot! Where is Bramble Patch?
ReplyDeleteShe's a bad influence that girl! Those tomatoey things look scrummy
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are growing. Watch that Ange -she is a bad 'un! Di x
ReplyDeleteThe hexies are looking great!
ReplyDeleteOh you have covered all bases! Jealous!
ReplyDeletePurdy!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely day, but too quick as always, grr! And hardly my fault about the shopping, i just said I hadn't been, it was you that suggested today! :o)
ReplyDeleteFabric shopping, lunch, sewing. Sounds pretty darn good ;)
ReplyDeleteThe hexies look amazing!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I don't think shopping the other day actually counts -- your were there for a flat. It wasn't your fault.
ReplyDeleteHow big are your hexies? btw, the hexie quilt looks amazing.
Gorgeous fabric, yummy bruchetta and beautiful hexies. Oh and wearing comfy slippers are the only way to be. Perfect day!
ReplyDeleteLunch does look delicious - and you needed to re-fortify yourself after all that shopping.Blaming someone else is my usual MO too!
ReplyDeleteCute slippers....
I often like to just blame Ange... ;o) Hope you all had fun!
ReplyDeleteOoooooh I like the look of that number fabric!! It would make a great background I think. Please to tell the name etc? Purely for research purposes of course :)
ReplyDeleteThe hexes are great, much bigger than I thought they were.
You could never be accused of just eating & shopping Ms Prolificus
Agreed, you cannot be expected to go into a fabric shop and come out with nothing!
ReplyDeleteYou practised precisely the right amount of restraint, all that could be expected!
Hexies are great. such patience..admire!
Your hexies look gorgeous! And given the range of stuff that Bramble Patch stock I think your were very restrained :)
ReplyDeleteThat Ange is a bad influence!! ;-) Hexies are looking great!
ReplyDeleteThe hexie quilt looks super! Wish mine was making such speedy progress. I blame my mis-printing of the 3/4" hexes instead of 1" hexes. Totally not my slow sewing AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteAny news on computer yet?
ReplyDeleteI love the Bramble Patch! Good memories! Sounds like you two had a blast! Fab hexies (& slippers) Jxo
ReplyDeleteYou have a free pass to buy fabric when you're with friends though ;) But that only applies if Ange bought too....
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are fab! I think we should all blame Ange when we buy fabric...
ReplyDeleteLove your hexes, they are looking fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLoving the hexies. Can't wait to see the finished result
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern that's emerging from the hexies. And that lunch looks so tasty.
