Once upon a time, not so very long ago in the grand scheme of things, I bought some pink floral fabric on ebay.
There it is, in the photo above.
When it arrived, there was absolutely LOADS of it. Far more than I had expected.
And so, I still have quite a lot of it left to this day.
Then, just recently, I bought some blue floral fabric on ebay.
Here it is:
When it arrived, there was more of it than I was expecting. And it was a different texture from my expectations, too.
It was cotton, but instead of the flat, matte finish of most cotton it has an expensive, sateeny finish. The sort that really good quality, old fashioned curtain material has.
Suddenly, I remembered that I had some pink fabric with that same texture. Quite a lot of it, in fact.
And when I put the two fabrics together, blue and pink, it was like a reunion.
It was meant to be.
So much so in fact, that I just had to make something with both fabrics together.
It was only right.
So I did.
It’s not yet finished of course, but the zip etc. will go in tomorrow.
All together now…
“Reunited, and it feeeels so gooood!” ♥
The fabrics by themselves are so pretty and putting them together, even prettier. I agree, it was meant to be. I think I had my eye on that blue piece too on ebay too. 🙂
beautiful!
…”me minus you is such a lonely ride’…..oh dear now I will have to sing it all day…thanx!!

Ah, now that would be telling Daisy!
Actually, I don’t usually search at all, ebay alerts me to any new goodies based on my previous purchases!
Fabulous Fabric!! Do you ever just sell bits of fabric or willing to swap for some?

Always willing to swap Cass! I’ve sold bits before, but I’m too much of a hoarder to be a fabric seller!
Eeek–now I’ll be singing that song all day! The fabrics really do belong together, though–serendipity!
In an amazing bit of synchronicity, that very song was playing in the Sue Ryder Shop I visited this morning! And I have had it on the brain too!
What gorgeous fabrics! I must go and set myself up some eBay alerts – I like the idea of them coming to me – I never seem to have much luck when searching 🙂
That song was the first thing that popped into my head but then I thought you’d think I was a loon if I posted it! So glad I wasn’t the only one.
Thank you! I got it finished this evening. Quite pleased with it myself!
