Happy quilting!
thanks for that I need to go to pound shop in the week to get cheap notebooks to cover for xmas so will get the colour magnets then all ready for after the weekend when I go to sturminster newton as they have a wonderful fabric store there - two hours there and another two back but so worth it

Dina thanks for- the colour ideas - I love the simplicity for the few colours - patchwork is busy and too many colours are just not me - and definitely NOT DH so we need to compromise on what I produce (he said he would fund my hobby when I finish a project he will pay for what I have needed) he thinks I wont complete - little does he know
