You didn't need to say that all of you enjoyed a good time together. Your faces are telling us. Nice to see all of you.

Yes, it was lovely in that shop! Except for the smell of the fabric. The lady who owned it was a smoker and it permeated through all the fabrics. I washed all the fabric when I got home! Love Chris

Ha ha! Marg, it was something like that - instead shop till you ran out of money. Love Chris
by nonna57 13 Oct 2013
And that we did "run out of money" :))

Thanks Pauline for posting the picture. Carolyn, you would be drooling there were so many purple fabrics in this shop. I actually ended up buying a beautiful turquoise bundle of fat quarters. A magnificent piece of green and gold threaded fabric and some antique English floral fabric. I also had a bit of a spree at Hobbysew at Pennant Hills. Got some gadgets, a Snowman panel for Christmas, a new 2 inch bias binding aid, huge quilting pins, snap closures etc. etc. etc. Plus a lovely Thai Beef salad at the 'local' pub. Love Chris

About how much does a yard of nice cotton fabric cost in Australia?
by pennifold 12 Oct 2013
Me, but hey, it was my birthday money so I splurged a little. Love Chris.

The fabric I usually buy costs me around $24.00 Australian a metre. I got some for $20.00 and $14.00 at this shop. A bargain.
by nonna57 13 Oct 2013
Yes it was Chris then Meg. I was under strict instructions (by DH) not to spend anyting Yea right, No i did shop and show DH.

I bought 2 meters of the antique fabric, and nearly 2 metres of the green fabric and then the roll of turquoise fabrics where there were 10 fat quarters. Oh! yes there was stacks of fabrics in that place. It was in a garage at the back of a ladie's home. Love Chris

That's why I stood in front of Purple Kerry, it's my favourite colour - there was a bit more on the shelf behind us where the burgundy fabric is peeping out. Love Chris

Thanks for sharing. It is so nice that you had a good time together. Would love to go shopping with some friends/cuties ? (Hello who lives close to me ?) and discuss things about our hobby. If I visit such a store I always have a sort of "blank" moment, at home so many things I want to do, but not the right fabric, but when I'm at the shop I'm overwelmed and can't decide what I want.
