Yesterday I called in at our local church Opshop (Opportunity Shop). I bought 3 blouses (not shown) and this pile of goodies: 9 quilt mags, 2 panels (sailing ships folded to show 1), a small roll of mystery fabric which I intend cutting into lengths - potential quilt back I think, 2 metres of brown corduroy, and a sizeable piece of a Jacobean style print. The total (including the unshown blouses) $16.00. All in good condition, but the one on the roll is very old and a little musty/grubby but there is a heap of it (haven't measured yet).

So thought I'd share my happiness....maybe you will find something out there next time you go looking.

I did :-D - not usually a fan of panels, but two at a bargain - well, who can say no. Today I see Linz83 has a post with a beautiful attic window using a panel with trees/blossom. I thought I may do something similar with one of the ship panels
