Brilliant that Carol was able to show the finished quilt to Carl from Panicos, it was lovely. I have Already read her Blog. Love your purchases. As a Moda designer I love Robin Pickins and have some of that range already on order from Shelagh Folgate at Moda Fabric Treasures. I will have to find Japan Crafts online because I love that charm pack with Shibori inspired fabric. I have already bought the ruler that Juliet Nice designed for UKQU but it will be interesting to see what you and Andy come up with in the future.
