Hi, there are NO quilting shops here in Manchester U.K., so a girl has to do what a girl has to do...trawl the local charity shops!!
Here is my latest batch of goodies!! ;)

AND I am doing my bit for the environment, mind you, when I tell the shop assistants not to worry about folding them up neatly as I will be cutting them up soon, they nearly have a fit, saying what a waste....as patchwork just isn't popular here, they don't 'get' it!!
:lol:

It breaks my heart to think about it but at least it went to a very deserving group of quilters :-D

Your fabrics are beautiful! You have a great eye for fabric and colors. I know that new fabric is very expensive in the UK and you did not let that stop you. I do the same thing here and have been able to find some things. Here in the US we have Garage Sales and Yard Sales. No, were not selling our garages or our yards, LOL! People sell things they no longer need and put up signs on street corners and advertise in local papers and on the internet and display them in their garage or yard. I have found an amazing amount of quilting related items for very little money. If you have those types of sales in the UK I recommend you try them. I admire you for your perseverance.
