Hi and Welcome, May has begun, the days are shorter and my office here is cold, so I will quickly give you an update of what has been happening. April was so busy with 4 shows! Fairholme quilters had their 30th Anniversary show and it was a gem as always and  Caroline Bay had its 3rd quilt exhibition and the only disappointment on the weekend was the weather. The rain just had to make an appearance! One day later I was off to AQC in Melbourne and thank you to everyone who made this a very enjoyable show. The response to my patterns and items was overwhelming and I have only just completed the after show orders!   This stand was just amazing. They sold lovely braid and habby items. As you can see it was like going back in time....beautiful.   And of course my favourite stand at the show Somerset Patchwork...always something good to buy from Karen. The last weekend of April saw me at the Springwood Quilt Exhibition which as always is a wonderful event. The big news for me is that on Monday May 12th my husband I will be heading over to America to exhibit at the Spring Market Wholesale Market in Pittsburgh. After lots of encouragement from friends we made the big decision to go ahead and do this and oh how that time has come around so quickly. We have no expectations, only to enjoy ourselves and have a bit of a holiday afterwards. Louise will be here on Tuesdays and Thursdays to help you so give her a call if you need anything. I will keep you posted via Facebook. So be sure to jump on over to FB and take a peek next week.

It has been quite a while since I wrote a BLOG on what has been happening at Cherry Pie Designs.
Well don't think that I have been sitting with my feet up watching the telly (I wish!).
Lots has been happening, we had the Shop Hop in February which was a great success, the prize winners of which will be publicized at the end of next week and  March is all about getting ready for April and May.
And I have found a little time to make these two lovely projects in linen. You could of course use cotton fabric.
