I couldn't not take you to the fabric shops for a little look around!
Saturday morning the shops opened and we tried our best to make our way to the fabrics through the crowds.
I think I will just let you enjoy browsing around. I hope that you find something that catches your eye.
I loved this dress so much that I had to ask the shop keeper if I might take a photo of her. She made it herself. I so like the clever way she has recycled the vintage embroidery.
I hope you have had fun on this virtual shopping tour, it does tend to be easier on the pocketbook.
I'm rather liking those tins and the dyed cotton threads.

Wonderful things! I especially love those wooden spools of trim. Thanks for taking us along!

Are those beautiful spools ribbon or elastic? They're stunning! I wish we had items displayed like that here in the States.

Oh my goodness. I just ate up every word of your workshop post, and now I'm loving this eye-candy! I don't know how you exercised any self-restraint!

All those fat quarters in such scrumptious colors. Most of the fq here are in regular quilting designs. I like yours much better!
Deep breath Yvette, deep breath ...

Those tins are wonderful!!! They say Spring all over don't they? That dress was cute! Were the sleeves attached too? They look as if they were and taken from a sweater. What a cute idea! Thanks for taking me shopping..

So much eye candy, i have no idea what to choose as my favourite. I do love those beautiful tins though.

Jeg tænkte nok at det var der du skulle. :-) Jeg har set en del billeder rundt omkring, fra årsmødet, men dine er af helt andre ting. Og så var det hyggeligt at se Merete Nybro Berg, hvis lille atelier i Grimstad jeg besøgte for 5-6 år siden, tror jeg det er ved at være.
