I had a wonderful weekend away at Avalon, in Toodyay, sewing a bit and generally relaxing.  The most exciting part was finding some retro fabric in one of the antique shops in town!  I've taken some photos.  I am also thinking I might sell some of it on ebay.  I won't part with the little folk print, however I thought the little cross stitch print and the large fruit/flowers print may be quite attractive to some collectors out there i.e. they would just HAVE to have some. A taste of what I found in the photos above.  Still excited!!

Hexagons and more Hexagons

I had been looking for some of this fabric in order to finish a quilt I started about twelve years ago (!).  I posted a photo everywhere I could and finally a lady in USA sent me an email to say she had some.  She sent me just over a metre.  I was so delighted to have found the fabric that I put it in the box with the unfinished quilt where it remains to this day!!  So now it is about fifteen years since I began this quilt.  I promised myself I would finish it THIS YEAR.  So far, this has not happened.  However, I have finished many, many projects in those fifteeen years.  Where does the time go?
