  3. How patient Mr. Sparkles is – although I feel another Thermomix coming on! He can move from one to the other like a DJ spinning discs!

  4. Cheryl says:

    I wish my husband was as patient as your in a fabric store. After about 3 minutes his eye starts to twitch 🙂

  5. Mr. Sparkles is a winner, for sure. And I am totally digging your bee blocks, by the way!

  6. Amy says:

    I love the star blocks!

  7. Sheryl says:

    Just hearing those prices hurts.

  8. LOVE those scrappy hexagons!

  9. I think your post perfectly summed up why I avoid Canberra at all cost.

  10. Lovely bee block eye candy. Say hi to Thelma and Louise! And Mr. Sparkles – of course!

  11. Next time you should try the coast road 🙂 We have an awesome little shop in Milton (45 mins south of Nowra) and we stock just the kinds of fabric you use! (My Patch Fabrics) Hugs Paula

    Hey There! I just tried another fix regarding my possible no-reply issue. I'm commenting now as a test.
    Thanks Molli. I'm enjoying the pictures of Australia. Thought I might want to relocate there…..hmmm…it's got it's beauty, but I don't see any pine trees and forest??? In fact, where's your trees? You know, those tall things that grow out of the ground that have green leaves…….I'll send you a picture……just messing with you. Always enjoy your blog.

  13. Thanks for the heads up on the 'no-reply', Ms. Molli! I swear, Blogger annoys the ever lovin' heck out of me sometimes!!! It's fixed…………I THINK.

    You and Grandma Sparkles are too damn cute! Love the quilt and that gorgeous tulip- they're my fave~!

    I think, quite randomly, that I've been into that shop in Mittagong! Anywho, right with you on the insane colour sorting, my local fabric shop (which only has a small part dedicated to quilting fabric) arranges all it's quilt fabric by colour. It has few modern prints at the best of time, but trying to track them down among the dross is a nightmare!

  15. I live in Canberra and hate the fabric shops here!! Not enough range of fabrics and so very expensive. Also the staff…arrghh..they think they own the world! So full of themselves, when you ask something they just point it out and dont even bother asking if you need help with anything else. That's the reason why I buy my fabric online. Maybe I pay a little for postage but at least can find anything I am after and i dont have to deal with silly staff members! Pffff.. That was a vent 😀
