Hey! Come In and Save Textile Traders!

Today Helen and I decided to go to Textile Traders SUPER STORE in Booragoon. Oh my. All fabrics on the bolts (bar homespun and flanelette) were on sale for $4.99 a metre!!! Breathe. I bought 30 meters, oh my, it was delightful.

Too many fabrics to show close up photos of, (plus blogger pic issues) and it was so hard selecting my must haves. Luckily the sales on for 2 weeks so I will just have to go again!

An OMG Textile Traders find!

Called into Morley Textile Traders this afternoon, they have there buy 2 get 1 free on, this promotion has been on for a month now, so not good for the bank balance. Had quick look around and what did I spy? Heather Bailey Freshcut fabric on the roll for $6.99 a meter, insane.

So of course I bought the last of the roll, paid for 5 meters and got 2 free, plus there was a line through the last meter so I got that for free, so 8 meters for $34.95. One happy shopper today!

Mrs Edwards - Ragged Edges Quilt

Mrs Edwards was Oliver's kindy teacher for one term in 2004, then his Pre-Primary teacher for 2005. She also taught Stuart and did relief work within the school. Sadly she left our school this term so I had to make her a goodbye quilt! Ragged Edges, using Wuthering Heights 5 inch charm packs and a cream moda backing.
