Sunday stash

 

Last Wednesday we spent in Leamington spa and Warwick with our son Matthew who was celebrating his 29th birthday. Not sure taking his parents shopping was top of his birthday list, but he did receive an advent calendar from us.

Matthew was excited to share a new discovery with us - Sostrene Green which he thought I'd love. He's not wrong as when I'm in London and Liverpool I usually find my way there for a quick mooch. I bought these illuminated mushrooms and house which survived the journey home.

Driving through Warwick on the way to Leamington Spa, I spotted the shop front of Quilter' Den who I have followed on Instagram for some time. We returned there later as it would be rude to not support local businesses! I also bought some more cute heat erasable pens from Ryman.

I use a lot of red and white spotted fabrics in my Christmas quilts so that was a quick choice, and the stripe was a bargain from the sale shelf. You can never have too many striped fabrics.

We left England on Thursday afternoon and now we're home we are so grateful that we didn't stay any longer as flights both yesterday and today are all cancelled due to storm Darragh.

I persuaded my husband to make a smallish detour via Guthrie and Ghani on the outskirts of Birmingham and picked up the dark blue version of Chicacheetah, I already have a metre of the same design in pink. Also, The Edit fabic by Nerissa is in the same colourway as another design of hers that I have in stash so I thought I could combine the two.
