The one stop fabric shop ......

Yes iv been to mum's again the fabric shop lol , while i was there she had some fabric out and was looking for some pinks and blues for a friend i mentioned again how id like to learn to quilt ... but i need a quilting Matt and rotary cutter ...well don't need but would love to have , any how she gave me one of her rotary cutters , and some quilting rulers thingies ,,,and told me when she has finished the quilt she is making she will hand the quilting Matt and 1/4 inch thingy for my sewing machine ,and i guess any other stuff she is done with
also she gave me some patch work tops she has started but not finished ,and asked did i wont them to finish of .....well yeah sure i do lol
and a king size quilt top that must of taking for ever to sew all together ,the backing and stuff ya put in the middle is all there just needs all putting together ... i never took a picture but i will and post some time .... it will look beautiful when its finished but i want to learn how to quilt first so maybe it will be a next year job once our youngest starts kindergarten i will go to a craft group and see how i go with it , i don't wont to stuff it up so best i learn first .... and also she gave me another project and asked if i would do it for her  a panel of fabric that has the verse of FOOT PRINTS IN THE SAND   so i would like to start on that over the winter but not until i learn the basics .. and i have soooo much scrap booking i wont to get thro and so much other sewing .....I so need a sewing room ....oh well maby in the distant future .. lol
all i know is i have some much fabric in my craft cubard that i really need to start using it up again and i have so much crafts to do that i really need to use my time more wisely i think less time on the computer i have days were I'm so good and waste no time then there's days were i spend to much time reading blogs and what not tho i do try to keep it to night time to do but some times like today iv slipped up and here i am ;-o 
any how i better finish this here so as i can get some cleaning done and bake a loaf of Hamish bread yum !!

  1. You sound like me - many years ago. I had a whole closet full of fabric and patterns and made a bunch of stuff. It all went the way of all things when my eyes got bad. Now, my eyes are fixed and I spend w-a-y too much time on the computer! :-) It really is hard to spend your time wisely when the blogger calls, LOL!
