Title: Lovely Batik from Doughtys

Gorgeous colours.
So bright I feel the need to pre wash, just in case.

The roadshows I've been to were mostly patchwork fabrics, but they are organised by a P&Q group.  They do have quite a lot of batiks, and other cottons suitable for summer dresses, and the prices are very reasonable.

If you know you want something in particular and ask in advance they will take it to a roadshow for you.

I've never been to their roadshows or shops, ordered mine online. But, they are in Hereford and the teenager works in Hereford - might be time to offer him a lift to work one day  |O :fabric: :fabric:

It's a nice shop, in a lovely little courtyard with a cafe (in the courtyard rather than attached to the shop!)  Their haberdashery shop is just around the corner and has really good stock too, although not as exciting as fabric of course.

Last time I was there they hardly had any batik  :o , but it's the only time that's happened, and I'm sure they will have rectified the situation!

I have some canvas-weight batik from there which is lovely, but I haven't found a pattern worthy of it yet.

Lovely fabrics. I couldn't resist. :)

it looks remarkably similar to my purchase   I certainly bought about 5 of those .. and similar colours although no yellow this time as I want to make a more jewel colour quilt... I have secreted my new Batiks amongst my old ones so nobody notices them..  ;)

You think I might have had a plan!?? Ha, ha.... 0_0 No. I just needed it in my life. It'll come in useful one day  :[....until then, I'll be able to admire the pretty colours  :)

Yes. Blame Vegegrow. I knew I shouldn't have looked.

It was just irresistible. :loveit: Such gorgeous colours. I could have bought pretty much all of it. It was difficult to choose.

Noooooooo!!

I clicked!!  0_0 0_0...but I only looked  :angel:

Lovely gift ideas. I don't have a 'significant other' to buy me stuff like this, otherwise I'd be sending links out to give a big hint.
I must NOT buy anything else for me for a while....Christmas is looming closer and closer.

Little disappointed with Doughty's this morning ... snuck in a little order as I had a look at their site and spotted several really nice batiks in the Bargain section... yum.. £23 later my order was on its way... not >< it arrived this morning 3 bits.. I ordered 8.. 5 out of stock they had been put on the website when they did a stocktake and were not available .. the 3 bits that came were the same cost as the postage.. I wish they had phoned to tell me and I would have cancelled the whole order.. whats really irritating was that I had unchecked the box to ring and checked the box to refund..
 oh well :S

They're usually very good. They phoned me when one of my pieces was out of stock and gave me a choice of 3 other similar batiks or my money back. I chose an alternative and was pleased with how it fitted with the others.

None of those divine Christmas hampers from Doughtys has arrived at our door this week ... :(

and as Imself is currently out of the house at work from 6am til 7pm I can only  assume that one of them will not be in my Christmas present pile this year! :(

Never mind, I need more fabric like a hole in the head  ;)

contacted Doughtys and they have refunded my postage :D   and they have changed the website so its not possible to buy out of stock items....... apparently they were stocktaking for their winter sale...  gulp
