So now, we've fallen in love with New England - the countryside, the people, the architecture - were just amazing, and very inspiring! Whether we ever move there or not, it's given us plenty of ideas to bring over here.
Anyway, back to reality, we did find a gorgeous quilt shop in West Barnstable, on Cape Cod, called Tumbleweed Quilts, where I spent an embarrassing amount on some lovely 1930s fabrics, can't wait to start using them, after I've stroked them for a while!
I also stocked up on US quilting mags, Generation Q is particularly inspiring for more modern designs, with loads of extras on their website, which means I can still read some of their articles, even though I can't get the mag here.
I will post some of our holiday pics another day, we're struggling to keep awake at the moment!
Ah.... Wondered where you were! Sounds like you have had a fantastic holiday. Hopefully will pop into the shop this week to say hello. Linda.x
ReplyDeleteOh i love those 1930s prints, i just made the Farmers Wife quilt in this kind of fabric, what do you have planned for it? I'm almost considering getting on a plane its so lovely!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say this... I actually bought the Dear Jane book a couple of year's ago, which is even more detailed than the Farmer's Wife, so I may try that, it's just the commitment to such a big project! I'm also thinking of finally getting round to doing some foundation piecing, watch this space... Obviously now I'm wishing I bought more fabrics! :)
