Australian fabric

I have been oodling this off my LQS website since they put it up, about 4 weeks ago. DH left today for the week and I am on my own! I didn't buy a lot because it was a little more expensive then the regular fabric, but I got

1/3 yard of all except the rust (which isn't Australian), of which I purchased 2 yards. It may be enough to make this free-form jacket made with strips. After I get the fabric out of the drier I will have to lovingly iron it, then get out my pattern and check the yardage.

(Floating with a big smile on my face.)

OOPS, check my webshots under Australian Fabric if you want to see it. There are 9 different patterns. I got a piece of about 1/2 of their collection.

Well, so much for that ideal. I can't find the pattern! It must be sitting with my 12" square ruler which I use to square my blocks! ACK!

Oh well, back to working on my Dresden plate.

I will take a picture of what I have and post it under a new subject called Dresden plates.

The fabrics are just beautiful. I'm such a sucker for ethnic prints, and your stash is really something to "oooooh" and "ahhhh" over. I love them! Is that what you're making the Dresden Plate from?

Nope, I bought the material for the DP about a year or so ago. At that time it was hard to find fabric with the gold in it, so I looked at all the LQS and then tried to find something plainer.....mostly whatever I liked.
