BarbaraJ Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) I bought a lovely book http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/0715331728/ref=sib_dp_ptu#reader-page which has lovely knitted toys with patches of material. i thought i had fabric with small patterns but i haven't and have looked online on the sites i have used before. Does anyone know where i can find fabric online like they use as theres not much choice in the shops here?

Valkyrie Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I need a new cutting mat - I might be tempted to get some rulers. I wonder if I can sneak some fabric in too. Oh that's just like chickens - see fabric want some fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Try the Quilters Haven site. I am going to QH at the weekend if you need anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's just like chickens - see fabric want some fabric. Umm me too I just can't resist buying more fabric all the time - tomorrow its pay day and I am spending the day at Patchwork Corner on a quilting course - I think it would rude not to buy just a little bit of something pretty whilst I'm there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Didn't sneak in the fabric (thought I better hadn't - I have sooo much), but I did buy some invisible thread and some flower yo-yo's to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 This thread has answered my question about online fabric suppliers for patchwork and small needlework projects - thank you! I've ordered some stuff from them and hope to try out my new sewing machine this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraJ Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 They look great. Are you going to do those bunnies next? i made one but the ears didnt look right as it said use 2 pieces of interfacing on each ear and mine was too thick so the ears sort of stand to attention The elephant is next. Don't even know who they are for yet but i like making them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Oh yes, rather fond of the nellie too. Although I don't think I'd mind a rabbit with upright ears. Hint hint for future secret Santa's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Love him! What a nice book that is. The pattern for those bunnies in in one of my magazines...hmm it's either Simply knitting or Woman's weekly craft special. I think Simply knitting. I'm loving the owl & pussycat..I always loved that poem, especially where the Piggywig with the ring through the end of his nose comes in!
