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.

You can join our group Sue! There’s a FB group and have a few virtual members. We sew together the second Saturday of every month. Its fun, and who knows, we could arrange one of our road trips to visit you one day. Wouldn’t that be an adventure!
