The village next to Ampthill is Maulden and the local church St Marys had a fabric sale on Saturday, it included all sorts of fabric, patterns, yarn and haberdashery that had been donated.
It was well organised and very popular, we walked there from Ampthill and arrived at around 10 and it was already busy. Just didn't realise that so many people sew.
Should have got them all together and we could have started a sewing group!
So this was my little haul, 3 pieces on top are just offcuts, but enough to line a bag or make a tissue pouch for the market stall, and the other larger piece should be good for a few things - suggestions welcome. And the cotton lace I couldn't resist.
They were only charging 50p or a £1 for most things, my friend bought a pattern and some fabric.
Then we had a drink and a piece of delicious homebaked cake.
So a pleasant walk, shopping and a cake - what more could you ask for!
There are a number of walks to the Church it is just off the Greensand Ridge
Must get back into using mapmywalk, forgot to switch it on until we were half way home!
