Today has been a great day! I found out that ALL the fabric I'd sent to the quilt guild on a sale or return basis was sold! On the one hand this is so pleasing as we are talking a lot of fabric, but on the other hand it means a lot of dyeing to get stuff in hand again. But it's worth it! And I've had an email from an internet friend with the possibility of selling fabric through a shop in another part of Cornwall.-
My seeds have started coming up and the garden is looking lovely. I now need to dig up the end of the lawn and turn it into garden so I can plant my blackcurrant bushes. I am slowly turning parts of the garden into vegetable areas so that I can have fresh salads in the summer. Martin bought some hanging baskets so that we can put Tumbler tomatoes in them. As we face south they will get loads of sun. During my mammoth clear out I unearthed my Kenwood juicer and I am now going mad on juicing anything I can lay my hands on. It is amazing how much vitality I seem to have and the juices are great if a little bizarre!

Tomorrow I am going to use my time in the morning to make a small bag for Fenella. This Friday is my first class for the summer term and we are making a quilted bag using a very interesting but simple pattern and because I already have and use one of these bags I thought I'd make a smaller version for Fen which I shall use as a sample so I won't finish it completely tomorrow. I shall be seeing her in just over a week so it seemed like a good idea. Time is racing by and we still haven't had any really good Spring weather. My fingers are crossed for this weekend.

Congratulations on all your sales! Your fabrics are so beautiful that I'm not surprised. I'd love to get some to make some unique clothes for myself, if we were closer.
ReplyDeleteWow Valeri that's fantastic news. I'm really please for you... see it's happening (grins)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the many sales! WONDERFUL... time to celebrate big time!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Sarah
Gorgeous fabrics, and I love how you bundled them in matching ribbon! Beautiful bouganvillea (I think that's what it is-- is it?). Your garden is way ahead of mine-- mine's still in the "thinking about it" stage. Congratulations on your selling your fabrics-- so much incentive to keep it going, huh?
