More shopping in Perth... and Ikea...

When i was in Tasmania my friends forbid me to go into a quilting store (and i was even driving)... so when i was in Perth again i couldn't help myself... I only had 2 hours to get on a bus from the city centre to Booragoon, quickly get a pair of jeans (as i forgot to put jeans in my suitcase and was wearing my work dress with a jumper over the top to try and hide it.), then walk to Textile traders.... have some fun picking some fabric, then get back to the hotel in time to get ready for work. I just love retail therapy...
I just love the pink flannelette fabric at the front. I just have no idea what to do with it. I might use it as a backing fabric for a future cot quilt. While the girl at the counter was cutting my fabric i just had to run back to get the bird fabric... it was just screaming at me to get it.



Even at Ikea i have to buy fabric... Well I did need some heavy fabric to use for a floor pillow... This was the only fabric that my man could deal with in his lounge room. I love the amy butler pattern and couldn't wait to use it. Hopefully i have the patience to try and match up the hearts as i go. Another thing to add to the To Do list....
Having gone to Ikea twice in 3 weeks and spending more then we should have... i have been told by the man of the house that we can't go again until next year.... So January 1st... Ikea here we come...
