My friend Thilly posted new fabric in town on Facebook. I recognized that it matched and was from one line. You don't always get that here ya know!!
So I got to the shop just at 9:30 and Jo and Wendy had already done some damage! I waited and had a bit of a chat with Jo while Wendy shopped. Our eyes were glossy and we had stupid grins on our faces!!
I did not allow myself to look at other fabric. Nope! Nuh uh! The two gals are leaving Oman :( and cottons are MUCH cheaper here than in Europe so they were having a blast!
It's 11 pieces of Lola Violet's 'Blooming Lovely' line for Anthology Fabrics. I've yet to research the entire line. I think getting 11 pieces is fantastic for here!
Now on to the visuals!
It's sweet and I think it might be an old line. We do get America's rejects here. Before you guys laugh at us; we pay a fraction of the cost too!
This one is a little blurry; but still worth it's 15 minutes!
I really like the circles. They have a little scallop around them. I really like the multi-colored one and that one we almost missed! I need to decide what I will do so that I can go get enough fabric for the backing. I think I know which pattern I will use it for! So many of us here in Muscat have this line now! Oh well! Nevermind!
Thanks for stopping by. I wish more people would comment so I know who is actually reading my blog!
See you soon!

Wow! So many comments! I am feeling the love ladies! Thank you! Now, to answer your questions:
Jean: Yes, that is what I was told when I researched the why and the where and the who and the what!
Maja: I remember you! Thank you for reading my blog and sticking around (as well as Jean) during my long absence! Sweden! So exotic!!!
Kathi: So many of us wish you were here too!
Odette: I know! I hope it is enough because girl, I am planning on making a 2m x 2m quilt to fit my bed. Am I insane? I went back and got 7 more meters for the backing yesterday and there was still quite a bit of them all on the bolts. Thank you!
Alya: I sent you a reply via email. Let me know if you are in Oman; I'll tell you!
I haven't received any email, and yes I do reside in Oman.

Ok. Lades check your profile. Most of you are set to 'no-reply blogger' which means that I can not send you an email. Well, no one can from this profile. If this is how you want it; so be it; if it is not, you need to make sure in your profile that you have a valid email address.
Alya: Al Bawader in Al Khuwair. Do you know this place? It's close to Radissan SAS. Do I know you??
I don't really know that place, but i'll look for it.
And i don't think that we know each other :)
Thank you
Alya
