Containing five yards of all those building blocks fabrics I have been meaning to buy for ages....
Oooooh I am so impressed, the measuring tape is even better in real life, and after seeing snippets of it in practically everyone's projects, I can't wait to put that yard to very good use.....
Then, back to bed for a little while, then up again to get the car towed to the mechanic, and some eggs for breakfast...
Followed by a lift into town to buy even MORE fabric, I tell you what, the bank balance is looking a little poor......
So I'd better get sewing so I can open my shop soon and sell something to finance the next lot of fabric madness!
Before I go though, a question for my fellow Aussies - is there anywhere you can recommend to buy fabric online in Australia? At the moment I'm getting things sent from the States at an alarming rate, and some local suppliers for quilt fabrics in good, clean, modern prints (no pink country living florals for me, I'm afraid), and also dress fabrics like lighter weight cottons, linens, wool suiting, anything really suitable for dressmaking would be fine by me? Any suggestions, my lovelies?
Well, the patterns are calling to be cut..... see you all soon! xxx

Hi - Quilt Fabric Delights seems very reasonable. They are in Adelaide too.
Mmmm that egg looks delish!
There are some online fabric stores in Australia but I find it cheaper to buy from the US. I would usually pay around AU$8-$14 per yard which includes postage. Some of my favourites are http://zandsfabrics.com/default.asp http://www.ciaspalette.com/index.html http://www.contemporarycloth.com/index.html
The one's that use global priority mail envelopes for about US$9.00 are the best and can usually send 6-8 yards for that price.
Hi there - I have bought a few things from Duckcloth which has free shipping within Australia. They have great customer service and fast delivery
