Fabric Rehab is just fab!




Yesterday I was delighted to receive my first ever order from Fabric Rehab 
I came across the link on Twitter, and you know what it's like - you can't resist taking a quick peek!

Well..... that was me lost for quite some time!

The site is full of fabric gorgeousness, just screaming "buy me, buy me".  

All completely my style - I could have gone mad, but my bank account said no!  Instead I spent ages picking a few choice pieces that I couldn't possibly leave there.  What do you think of the little bird fabric above..... Isn't it darling?

 There is such a wide choice of fabric on the site.  Absolutely perfect for me - as it's choc-full of bright, zingy modern and retro prints.  It's not often I find it hard to choose - but believe you me, with enough
resources, my shopping basket could easily have turned into a trolley
I'm loving the retro look of the leaf print, it reminds me so much of 50's fabric. The background is a wonderful duck-egg blue, and the leaves are so zingy and fresh.  I was rather arf-like* when I opened the package.


I'm loving the quirkiness of this chicken print fabric too!


With limited funds available (aka my overdraft), I rounded off my order with this fabulous selection of fat quarters.  I'm rather partial to a pink and red combo - I find it so cheerful to look at.

If you haven't come across Fabric Rehab before, I do suggest you scurry your fingers across the keyboard pronto.  As well as having a great fabric selection, the prices are very competitive - and best of all - the  standard postage charge is just £2!  Isn't that fantastic?  I certainly thought so. 

My order arrived quickly - and I am so pleased with my fabric choices.  I will definitely be ordering again.

Here's the link again, in case you want to pop over and have a peek at all the fabric loveliness.

Hexagon hand-towel

A super quick make this afternoon - a hand towel for the kitchen.  I had no idea I was going to do this until I was rummaging through my fabric stash and found this piece of heavy linen that has been forgotten for years.   It's the perfect weight for a hand towel and I've managed to use up a few more scraps to match the colours of my kitchen. The little piece of aqua fabric is one of my favourites.  Had it for years and my supply has been dwindling, finally down to the last little piece.   It was a quick pin-down and run along with the machine. As you can see, a close inspection of my hexagon shows rather uneven stitches.   I blame it on my eyesight (and sewing whilst watching the TV).  Pinned into place and then edged around carefully with the machine.   I've even managed to add a little loop which is the tiniest scrap of ribbon I spied in the corner of my sewing table just as I was stitching to the corner.... I'll have that...

Hillarys Blinds - Country Crafts Competition

A vision in Teal - front view Towards the end of February I saw a competition advertised on Twitter by Hillarys Blinds .  I can't remember the exact wording, but it was along the lines of "would you like to receive some material and enter our competition?" Of course I would! After sending an e-mail, I was delighted to hear I'd been chosen to take part.  I was able to pick from 3 fabrics.  I opted for the peacock print as I adore teal.  About a week later I received a packet from Hillarys containing a metre of my chosen material.  I wish I could get the colours to come out properly.  I don't think any of the photos I've taken do the fabric justice.  The background is a light cream, with the branches and blossom in subtle shades of brown and pale yellows.  Sitting on the branches across the fabric are a selection of beautiful peacocks.  In shades of teal, they are quite wonderful.

Once upon an Embroidery

This story takes place many years ago. Imagine we are at a time in the gentle years before the Great War. In a time where the motor car was a recent invention and a plaything for the very rich, seldom to be seen on a public road. This was an era when people worked hard and expected little. An era when life was lived at an altogether slower pace. Let me introduce you to Alice. Alice is a gentle soul. She has never strayed far from the village where she was born. She has spent her adult life living in the same little cottage she moved into with her husband as a newlywed when she was 19. At one time she was surrounded by family, but over the years they have all passed on or drifted away. Her husband died shortly after his retirement three years previously, and her only remaining sister lives half the country away. They correspond regularly by weekly letters, but haven't seen each other in years. It would be possible to travel by train, but it's altogether too expensiv...
