Hi, I just thought I would share what I see as great fortune, I spent Christmas up in Basingstoke in Berkshire England and my DIL and I went into Town on Monday to see if there were any deals on Fabric and woe and behold I found enough fabric )4 different types ) to maKE MY MIL's lap quilt for when she is out and about on her mobility scooter. Beatifull shades of Buirgendy plains and florals.
They were only asking £2.39 per metre for 100% cotton.
I am so chuffed as around Cornwall I would have paid double (and possibly more) than that.

Yea! Don't you love when i all comes together!!!!

Wonderful news. Looking forward to seeing pics of this quilt.

WOW! Where did you find fabric at that price???? I.m going to see family in Windsor on Thurs. might be worth a detour!!

What a great find. Have fun making the quilt and post pics please.

Fabricland in the main shopping mall in Basingstoke. Worth a visit and the young woman who served me was really helpful especially when I said I was a learner, she worked out how much fabric I needed and gave me some great tips to.
Enjoy your visit.

Sure will, but please don't hold your breath. LOL

How exciting for you! I have a question, what does "chuffed" mean exactly? I've never heard it before.

I think 'chuffed' may mean excited. But I am not sure, but that is how I understood it in the post.

WOW You sure got a bargain.

Ah! You sound like me so I'll be sure not to lol :D

Chuffed means I am very pleased with myself and very happy.

Many thanks!!! May just have to take a look!! :thumbup:

Thank you. Since there are so many different nationalities on here sometimes I see a word that I'm not familiar with and want to know the meaning of it. Who knows? Now that I know what it means I just might introduce it to central Illinois! It is rather cute afterall.
