  28. I love the quilt work you have done, I have just put my sewing machine away for a while as I have an obsessed love for knitting and am currently embarking on a charity knit, making afghans for soliders that have been injured, so as beautiful as the fabric is I would have to pick the yarn ..I will post his contest on my blog also great contest http://countrycreatures.blogspot.com/

  32. As much as I love fabric and liberty, I would love the YARN. Both of our tiny yarn shoppes do not carry the M brand. I am always so jealous when I see knitted wears made of it!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  99. I am a knitter who has also begun a fabric obsession. I think the fabric would be a great addition to my growing stash. The yarn is great. I just have no idea what I would do with it.

    ReplyDelete
