I have been through all the colour themed scrap boxes and they have been reduced to strips and 2 1/2" squares. The fat quarters are being kept for the Snapshots quilt. I hope to have 2 quilts worth of blocks at the end. It may well be so with the bedrooms, if you have 2 you may have to pay a bedroom tax.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-75170795029339520982015-03-15T12:12:33.534+00:002015-03-15T12:12:33.534+00:00The Red House is a fabric and haberdashery shop, t...The Red House is a fabric and haberdashery shop, the website pictures are very good.

I fancy making some summer clothes now as the weather has started to cheer up, even though today was icy cold again. I made a Belcarra blouse today with some lovely Liberty lawn I got on eBay and a bit of linen for the sleeves. Also made a reversible dress for my newest great niece and a pretty frilly skirt for her big sister. All in all a productive 2 days. I will be interested to hear whether you think the invisible zip foot is worth having. I am trying not to buy any more than necessary - it is so easy to succumb though. :)Jenny Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174438668766147257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-26272969894438365202015-03-14T21:14:34.528+00:002015-03-14T21:14:34.528+00:00Wow Pam you are busy .

I was at The Fabric Guild last week, resrtained myself, just spent £17!!<br /><br />I have spent this week, emptying the bits and strips box, I have a boc full of neatly ironed strips and several piles of squares, now I need to decide what to make with the squares!! Started on the fat quarter boxes, have found fabric in there to be cut up as well. I need to try and condense my fabric, I doubt we will get a two bedroomed place when our number comes up. I will end up sewing in our bedroom again.sweet blondie blue eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415902997410295811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-71351652476512215382015-03-14T19:07:16.284+00:002015-03-14T19:07:16.284+00:00Hello Pam,
