Deja Vous?

I blame Ange. It was her idea for us to meet up at the Bramble Patch before she came over here for lunch. Does anyone really expect me to step foot in a fabric shop and buy nothing, even if I was there only a few days ago? Thought not.


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.

  2. 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.

  6. Hi 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

  7. Well I think that wee haul makes up for missing out on stuff during the destash, no? Lovely picks as always.

  10. Hexies 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?

  16. Sounds great! I don't think shopping the other day actually counts -- your were there for a flat. It wasn't your fault.

    How big are your hexies? btw, the hexie quilt looks amazing.

  18. Lunch does look delicious - and you needed to re-fortify yourself after all that shopping.Blaming someone else is my usual MO too!

    Cute slippers....

  20. Ooooooh 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 :)
    The hexes are great, much bigger than I thought they were.
    You could never be accused of just eating & shopping Ms Prolificus

  21. Agreed, you cannot be expected to go into a fabric shop and come out with nothing!

    You practised precisely the right amount of restraint, all that could be expected!
    Hexies are great. such patience..admire!

  22. Your hexies look gorgeous! And given the range of stuff that Bramble Patch stock I think your were very restrained :)

  23. That Ange is a bad influence!! ;-) Hexies are looking great!

  24. The 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.

  25. I love the Bramble Patch! Good memories! Sounds like you two had a blast! Fab hexies (& slippers) Jxo

  26. You have a free pass to buy fabric when you're with friends though ;) But that only applies if Ange bought too....

    ReplyDelete
  27. Your hexies are fab! I think we should all blame Ange when we buy fabric...

  28. Love your hexes, they are looking fabulous.
