Beginning to fill up my Etsy shop with lots of lovely fabrics.

 Well we had a good SALE of textiles and textile related items, on Thursday.
Because it is Easter at the moment, I thought I would leave the SALE up on facebook as I know some people go away for a few days
You can see the link at the image on the previous post.
i must admit I am beginning to feel more rested now, especially as I've had a few good nights sleep. I hadn't realised how rushing backwards to the hospital for almost three months, had worn me down.
I still go to see mum but now that she is in a nursing home the stress of her care and well-being is under control.
SO
I have spent today sorting out some lovely fabrics for the shop and the one's you can see on this post are now listed at
Everyone is welcome to have a quick browse.

Vintage French floral fabric - c.1930s - TS23



 This is a beautiful 1930s piece of used French cotton fabric. iI has gently faded over the years giving it that shabby chic appeal that is so popular.
The colours are my favourite being in a duck egg blue, yellow, pink and red. A great design.
 The fabric is still very strong although I have found a couple of tiny pinholes from previous stitching but still ideal for the front of a boudoir cushion/pillow.
Measures - 53cms x 45/43cms ( 20.9" x 17.7/16.9" )
