I got 2 pieces of beautiful fabric, about 7 yards in total, for the cost of about 1.5 yards at a quilt shop, plus a very large piece of fleece, which I'll use as batting for practice pieces. I think I'll be going to Manchester again...
So you found MY Abakhan treasure trove did you?? Sometimes they have LOTS of great bargain cottons, other times nowt! Glad you had fun and next time you are thinking of coming over to visit, give me a shout and we can meet up there!
