Fun at the craft show

Yesterday i spent a wonderful day at the craft show with my friend Cindy(no blog). First up we wandered all the lovely stalls & bent our cards a little then it was time for a fortifying cup of coffee & carrot cake & back to browsing & spending.
My haul of goodies. Lovely Natalie Bird was on her stall & signed her new pattern book for me. :)
I also picked up this show special(photo taken from Horn web site), the sewing table. It also comes with a free insert.

 After lunch Cindy & i wandered around the fabulous quilt display. Oh some very stunning quilts there including a hexagon quilt. King sized made up of 1/2" hexagons. The tag said "thousands" of the hexagons. Last time i saw this particular quilt the maker had finished the centre which is a beautiful rose & was working her way out from it. I'm so glad i got to see the finished quilt. Now it was time to head home with our goodies, sore feet & dented bank accounts but before we left i picked up 1 last show special.
I've been wanting one of these for a while & at the show price i wasn't leaving it behind.

Happy Stitching,

I see you also collected Na;aie's new book - those light pads are great - a shame I only bought a new one a few years back - probably one show before those new ones came out. Some other lovely goodies too.

Great purchases there! The Somerset Designs pattern looks interesting...

Marilyn said...

You did very well with your goodies. I recently bought those type of quilting stencils, have yet to use them though. I bought the white pounce and so far the only quilting I have done is on light backgrounds. I need to buy one of the coloured ones as well, I think.

#4 Chookshed Stitchers Challenge.

 At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt...
