Well I had a great day in at the Craft & Quilt show today....I am very weary and I am sure I am shorter from all the wandering from stand to stand. I wasn't too wicked but I did buy some lovely notions, a NEW rotary cutter (I've killed my old one) which is a lovely pink one supporting Breast Cancer Research, a beautiful book to help me make sense of what on earth to do with these jelly rolls I love the look of and have to have but not being to crash hot in the piecing department leave me flummoxed. I also bought a few little bits for swap pressies.
I also had a lovely wander amongst all the quilts on display and I don't know there is something wonderful about being surrounded by a whole host of quilts.....my favourites were 2 restored vintage quilts, one a double wedding ring quilt. Sorry no photos as I didn't know which ones to take and which ones to leave.

| Danielle and I at the Express stand. |
One of the primary reasons I went into the show was to meet in person the lovely editor of Country Threads Magazine, Danielle Tebb. She is such a delight to work with. We talk on the phone regularly and emails fly thick and fast between us but I had never met her in the flesh so to speak, so when she told me she was hosting the Express Publications stand in Brisbane we arranged to catch up and it was wonderful to finally meet her face to face for a chat(and assure her I was on task with my commissions lol). Promise!
I then popped along to Thread & Gingers lovely stand to check out my quilt and bits and felt very chuffed indeed to see them up there on the wall. Even saw one of my pattterns bought while I was there and got to thank the purchaser...Woo Hoo! I did take a photo but it is not that great as I didn't want to shove the customers aside to get a better pic....not a good look. LOL! So if you look over to the right above Nats head you will see them on the wall. Natalie's stand looks beautiful as usual.

How exciting for you Michelle, I hope your patterns sell out!
ReplyDeleteHow fun, and how gratifying to see your patterns being sold, that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas Bakeshop quilt Michelle. I am sure these patterns will sell out.
ReplyDeleteI had a great day too Michelle. Your quilt looked beautiful. What a fun day my friends and I had. I bought some buttons and lovely background fabric. I was really looking for the stripe for "Christmas Bakeshop", but didn't see anything I liked. We are off to our retreat next weekend and go via Maleny Magic Patchwork Shop so will look there. Have a lovely weekend.
