Weekend Stash, Fabrics and Yarns!

Hello dear friends!!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend . Thank you all for visiting my blog and writing those encouraging words which helps me a lot to look forward in the world of needlecraft without looking back at the career I left behind !  I must say I have found great admirers and sharers in all of you ! :) And there are lots of ideas in every blog to learn from.

I did some unusual shopping this weekend . I always yearn for making quilts and beautiful patchwork that I see on many eye-catchy blogs . But making quilts is a farfetched dream for me . Another reason is that, here in Hyderabad, the winters are mild so we do not use quilts. But I can make other things ! I had earlier made a bed sheet with patchwork some 10 years back, but after that I had been just warming my eyes on various needlework magazines and blogs :)

So, this time I decided to buy some cotton fabric pieces . Please suggest me a beginner’s tutorial for patchwork . For now, I have to manage with available tools that I own – needle, thread, fabric and scissors:) I do not have self-healing mat or a cutter .

Also, last weekend I fetched my Anchor knitting cotton order from shop . We do not get that in any of craft shops here . So I am supposed to order, that too, full boxes! :( Few more light colours are pending. Enough for me to survive for more than a year! :)












I am glad to share with you all . Keep writing and have a Happy week ahead!

Preeti :)

  1. Lovely colors. Why don't you order from Pradhan Embroidery Stores? They deliver all over India and how many ever balls you need. Check out their Facebook page, add them as a friend and you can view their albums.

    Great fabrics, i too collect them, but i dont have a sewing machine and hence just keep looking at them :)

  4. Hello Preeti! Saw your blog address on your Rav profile where you recently joined our South Asian Crafters group. Saw that you were in Hyderabad and couldn't resist :) I'm a non-resident Hyderabadi, currently in Kerala. Do introduce yourself in the group over there. Where did you buy the fabric, by the way?
