A BIT OF THIS AND THAT

I have been keeping my eye out for fabrics with text on them forwhat seems like ages. Where I live however there really isn't much around. I'm not in a hurry but I have had an idea for a quilt in mind for a couple of years. I fill my cart at Etsy with lots of fabrics, only to disregard them as they are from too many different sellers and the postage is way too great. SIGH.......
So here is my little stash (I also have heaps of selvages to use up).

I bought these books from the Book Depository in England last week. Unbelievable that the books are heaps cheaper than out here and free postage world-wide!!!! These books both contain 3 books within each of Elm Creek Quilts stories. I have wanted to read them for ages and of course our library doesn't keep them. Jennifer is an amazing writer, boy she gets you sucked into the story and just learning about the history of quilting in this way is fasinating. Well worth reading and I can't believe I'm hooked on something else other than the Twilight series!!! Yes I've read them all 6 times!
