Glady & Cloudy Craft Blog

Last weekend our local quilting society held a Quilters’ Market Day, from where you could find around 20 little stalls in one church hall, and they sold a lot of fabrics (mostly fat quarters), magazines, books, patterns, notions, etc, basically a trash and treasure for quilting and patchwork and fabric lovers.

I had a lot of fun search through a lot of fabrics, some in a more dated style and some newer ones, I bought a few things, and the most exciting treasure for me (aside from 27 magazines), was a few stacks of off-cut bits and pieces from a relatively new fabric series called City Girl by Kitty Yoshida that came out in 2008. The lady who sold them told me that she bought the fabric from the big Houston Quilt Show a few months ago, she made a quilt with them and these are the off-cuts. Apparently this series is not available in Australia yet.

I really love this type of more contemporary design fabrics. The other stack of yummy scraps is also from the same lady, it’s a stack of Amy Butler fabrics off-cuts.

Although Amy Butler’s fabrics are available in Australia, and I dearly love them, I haven’t buy too many of them because of $$ and well, looking at my existing stash… So I’m happy to own a little piece of everything

I haven’t decided what to do with them yet, but I’m happy enough just staring at them at the moment. One day when I turn these yummy fabrics into a project, I will certainly put it up here.
