material possessions

I love fabric.
However I don't really purchase a whole lot.
Now that my struggle is over, I felt I deserved an unashamed
bit of comfort purchasing!
I don't have much in the way of red,
and I'm really fancying a red and white quilt.
How cute is this!!!
They had it in blue too.
I'm not into any designers,
I just buy what I like.
I'm not interested in the newest thing,
sewing isn't a competition for heavens sake!
I chose fabrics that I really loved,
instead of ones on sale.
 Oh how did that turquoise piece sneak in?
LOL!
These came from fabric rehab who are a UK based company.
I thought rehab was a place where you went to get clean?!?
If you have a serious habit or maybe just want to have a peep,
pop over, they have a great selection.
If you follow on facebook they sometimes have special offers.
I got 10% off my order.

If i've not managed to thank you for commenting on my quilt festival post,
THANK YOU!!!!
It was amazing, all the links can be found here

Also hello to my new followers, I'm really glad to meet you.
I have 297 only 3 more to 300!!
Awesome!

Oh no. Another fantastic fabric shop to shop around in. Thank you so much for sharing. I love the shop, more European in its style. I usually shop on US online shops or Etsy. Have been searching for something more Scandinavian or Dutch in its style and here we go - perfect! And I just spent lots of money on fabric recently. How am I now gonna justify another big shopping spree... Love your stash. Looks very seductive. I am a sucker for red. White. Blue. Flowers. Dots. Folklore style... And what a fab chair. Love everything about this post. Lucky girl!

Wow, great fabric. And I so agree with "I'm not into any designers,
I just buy what I like." Hear hear!
