Quilt Museum .
was really good if you want to see tiny hexies go there finished size 1/4 of an inch the quilt was on a dolls be the length was 11 inches by about 7( i think) it was incredible to see they have a lot of good stuff to look at david did not want to go in so i didnt spend as much time as i would have liked in there  (next time no husband )

of course they have a shop :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
 so these managed to jump in my bag they are from japan are 100% cotton and are gorgeous if you can zoom in you will see the gold on them .

Post that arrived !!! these i have never made a frame purse but i think i will use some of the new fabric for them i would have liked to join the swap but didnt want to commit then come up with a crap offering !!!
i went on to http://u-handbag.com/category.php?category_id=1 for the stuff below so i have a few things to be getting on with ...................forgot the glue  and the middle thing is a invisible magnet for a bag

the weather here is crap very dull but not raining at the mo so maybe i will get out and pull some weeds later ,when we got back the lawn was like a hay meadow ready to be cut !!!
