Sydney Quilt and Craft Fair

Well  that time of the year is now upon us....the Sydney Quilt and Craft Fair opens tomorrow at Glebe Island.
Today we have spent time setting up the stand....and I have to say I am happy with the way it looks.

Lots of new fabrics, patterns and other products to choose from as well as a great $10 bundle tray and all the regular items too.



Hope to see you there at Stand No. C52

Another wet day here on the Central Coast....so glad I went to Bathurst over the long weekend to see my daughter....the weather was crisp but sunny and we had a lovely catch up.

Popped on out to Millthorpe for cake and a little peek about...wow how this small village has changed since I was a youngster growing up out there!

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea at The Old Mill cafe.


Busy today getting ready for the Sydney Quilt and Craft Fair (begins next week)...be sure to come and see us at our stand (C52) for lots of lovely kits, fabrics and patterns....and don't forget the huge  "Treasure Chest" will be on offer again this year....one ticket entry for every $50 spent.

Block of the Month packs have been sent out today (for blocks 5/6) so keep an eye out in the post for these.
Haven't signed up for the BOM?....there are still some programmes available .....the quilt will be on display at the  Sydney Quilt and Craft Fair if you would like a closer look.


thanks for checking in

What a wonderful weekend I have just enjoyed out in country NSW.....thank you so much to Chooky for organizing this 2 day workshop for the ladies and of course giving me a bed for 3 nights.

None of the ladies have ever done needle turn appliqué using freezer paper on the wrong side of their chosen fabric, but they all embraced the idea and went home having had learnt something new.

At least one of the ladies will continue (hopefully) to finish her work using the English method of appliqué.....and if this works for you....then do it ! It doesn't matter what method you use just use the one that suits you best.

The project for the weekend was my Feeling Blue pattern and some of the ladies chose blue whilst others chose red....they will all look great when finished I am sure.


Ok really sorry, I cant seem to turn this image around no matter how hard I try....but there is a happy Chooky in there somewhere...



 I just love taking pictures of our wonderful country so here are a few images of the drive out....







And lets not forget that fabulous sun set....

and of course the "3rd Child" hasn't left my side since I arrived home yesterday...


thanks again Chooky for a great weekend....the cup works just fine and the chocolates are almost gone!


Until next time
Carol
