Souvenir shopping?
I am slowly unpacking from our travelling about, and am unearthing little bits of shopping. Who needs postcards or teaspoons when you can buy fabric & sewing treasures! These lovely fabrics were purchased in
Corowa
&
Echuca
, both wonderful country towns on the Murray River between New South Wales & Victoria. I was very excited to find the '
Follow Your Imagination
' fabric by
Prints Charming
- I have seen fantastic things made from this print. And there is some Sis Boom & some
Robyn Pandolph
in that little stash too!
And a few more pieces to add to my Dear Jane stash. You may remember when I started Dear Jane, that it would be made entirely from my existing stash? As if that was ever going to happen!

I visited a
favourite quilting shop
in Berry, and was very self-controlled, leaving with the smallest of parcels. I had been told, more than once, that the only thread to use for
needleturn
applique on my Dear Jane quilt is pure silk.
Expensive
? Yep! The beige colour will be used for light fabrics, the grey for
darks
. Also, a little packet of 'the only needles for
needleturn
'! Hoping to try these out soon.
And also from
Echuca
, some very cute buttons to be used for who knows what, and a divine black velvet buckle.

Now aren't you glad I didn't buy postcards?! And the crazy thing is, I will remember where each one of these things was purchased, & the little towns we visited. So perhaps they are souvenirs after all!
