There seems to be an ongoing obsession in Clover Cottage. I wonder if you can guess what that is?
Baskets of it, drawerfuls of fat quarters....
Pretty boxes full of it..... (a great way of using old shoe boxes, and leftovers, or samples of wallpaper!)
Cotton & other threads to stitch it with!!
Gorgeous spools of Vintage thread, and wool for darning!
I love the artwork on this card of thread : )
Bought these two on my last trip to Bicester Village.
How I wish I could buy this by the metre!! I'm certainly not cutting it up though!
Here are three quilts I 'made earlier'! The first one is made from a combination of two Vintage Laura Ashley cottons called 'Campion'.
(This was originally a pair of curtains found at a car boot sale!!)
This one is made of a selection of some of my favourite scraps in pink & blue & bordered in a cute Ikea Rosali fabric. I was lucky enough to find the Rosali as a damaged single quilt cover on Ebay, at a very good price!
This is one of my first attempts at handquilting, a small wallhanging made with calico, and a few toning blue prints.
You can use it for applique .....
You can embroider it !
Make your home more comfy with it!!!
As you may have guessed, I love fabric, and admit to being a fully fledged fabricaholic!! I love working with it, it makes me happy, I have met so many lovely people who love it too. It even found me a new job, as I started working at a lovely gift & craft shop & boutique that I sell my crafts to, when I lost my last job in October!!
Be inspired & get your needle & thread out, you don't know where it will lead to!!!

Glad to hear you are now working in the craft place, seems ages ago when you were afraid of going in with your work :) I have taken some of my things to a crafts centre which has just opened, I'm hoping it takes off over the Summer.
Must have a go at some cushions.
