If this<br />was going to be a really special quilt I'd be saving up for all designer<br />fabrics, but it's just going to be a lap-quilt for the living room and it<br />won't have that hard a life or be expected to last forever. I've learned the<br />hard way that the Spotlight fabrics really do mean it when they say not to<br />put them into the dryer - the creases fade and you get lines across the<br />fabric. The Bo-Peep skirt I made Hazel earlier in the year is looking a bit<br />more faded than I'd like already. And I think ALL Spotlights are<br />demoralising and soul-sucking, it's company policy. At least our shop<br />assistants have changed and aren't so clueless and rude. Sometimes they<br />actually know something about what they're selling! But yay for delicious<br />fabrics from proper stores run by people who know their stuff. I'm so glad<br />I've got one near me now :)Hazelnutshttp://www.hazelnutgirl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-12152500032933225762012-01-30T21:16:18.068+13:002012-01-30T21:16:18.068+13:00PS - I've also found that the Spotlight quilti...PS - I've also found that the Spotlight quilting fabrics are much lower quality compared to the designer quilting cottons. It's a pity, as they are getting some prettier prints in (though my local one is still totally demoralising and soul-sucking...... luckily the quilting store just across the street has expanded and now stocks more of those delicious fabrics I always drool over online).Ellie - Petalplumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-6421562557628930802012-01-30T21:16:17.783+13:002012-01-30T21:16:17.783+13:00I love the little addition of the sea horses - and...I love the little addition of the sea horses - and the good thing is you'll be able to enjoy that piece for many years. {I'd normally make something like that into a dress for the little one, and then she'd grow out of it and we'd have to pass it on and wouldn't see it ever again!}.<br />Perhaps you need another red with some more blue in it - just little bits though, to go with the blue sea horses.<br />Can't wait to see it underway, and then finished. Hope the deciding (and having to buy more fabrics) isn't too hard....Ellie - Petalplumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-22911930516085601482012-01-30T21:16:16.066+13:002012-01-30T21:16:16.066+13:00Ooo!
