I found that fabric at a LQS http://www.wineberryfabrics.com/wf/home.html I originally bought it to make potholders to take to Germany!

So, thimblebug6000, did you have fun at the retreat? Learn anything new?

Poor QuiltE, Ontario gets all the international fabrics while BC gets the Canadian ones.

Blue Button, will you be joining us in this challenge and starting a new project?
I will have to pass on this one. Too many things on my plate right now. Just wanted to share my quilt. I'm looking forward to seeing all the nice quilts.

Hi works4me: I did have a great retreat, here is the picture of my batik top so far, I need to see if it fits the bed right down to the floor on the sides then I will decide the next step.[ATTACH=CONFIG]330029[/ATTACH]

Oh don't worry Works4Me ... I don't want/need any for this project (and won't be starting this project til June after the LQS UFO challenge deadline!)

I am hoping that I'll see some nice Canadian fabrics in the next month or two in time for Canada Day .... as I want to share some with my PC friends! I saw some flag material on the weekend where the design/print was perfect, though the fabric quality was terrible ... as in one step short of cheesecloth!

That is beautiful thimblebug600.

I guess, if I want to try to find more Canada flag fabric, I'll have to go into a few stores, huh? I'm trying to be good and stay away from temptation.

4 more cross stitch rows done last night. I have an eye appointment today and thought I might take it to work on while in the waiting room but then figured I might get what-for so I'm taking a book instead.

I'd be more worried that I'd get the wrong x-stitch in the wrong place! I learned a long time ago, that x-stitch was not something to do with confusion around me.

And yes dear
Works4Me, you do need haunting the odd store is required to acquire!

Not much to show yet, but here are all the colours I will be using, and today I started on the rose's leaves. Keep cheering me on, please, ladies!
