Craft & Quilt Fair - Adelaide - Starstruck ;-)

I spent some time at the Adelaide Craft & Quilt Fair on Friday - and I am so glad I did ;-)

First up I decided to drive instead of relying on public transport - I am so glad I did .... my feet were very sore by the end of the day and it would have been terrible walking home from the bus stop ... my bag was very heavy too ;-)

As is my normal practice, I went in and did a complete circumference to see what was around - no purchasing at this point, but I did spy Material Obsession's stall, and had a chat with the lovely Kathy, I walked away thinking 'what a lovely lady, so nice to meet her in real life" .............. I must confess, I was completely starstruck ............... I forgot to ask for a photo :(  DOH!

then I did another round, this time making purchases ;-)

Purchases were from
The Bay Window
Patchwork with Gail
Cynthia's Ark
Fat Cats Card Corner

I had lots of fun, but was very glad to get home and off my feet so that I could sort out my goodies along with a lovely glass of wine ;-)

My Weekend away

I finally got around to posting photos of my weekend away HERE


Unfortunately, I didn't get to spend time in The Quilt Basket as I had hoped, but I did get to spend some time in The Whyte House Gallery - even better for me as it had EVERYTHING! ......... Cardmaking supplies, scrapbooking supplies, beading supplies, embroidery threads, cottons, quilt fabric ........  if ever I am down that way again, I will definitely be going back for another visit.

Friday Night with Friends

I got to spend some time in the sewing room yesterday ;-)

I managed to do some tidying up and got caught up on some swap blocks for the CraftMad Family Quilt

Finished some Christmas Pressie sewing 

During the week, I received this gorgeous block from Cynthia for Christmas Block Swap 

as well as some more goodies ;-)

This lovely block from Jean

and this is what I sent her - I presume it has arrived by now ;-) 

EDITED:

I have also heard from my October partner for Block Swap Adventure that my block has arrived

Lana asked for any block in spring colours and as I was in the mood to play with my Dresden ruler again, I thought it was appropriate I use all the lovely bright colours I have in my stash ;-)

Lana says "OH MY GOODNESS! Your block is fabulous! Its my favorite so far of all the blocks I have received!"
I am so very happy to hear that, I was particularly pleased with this one ;-)

Must be off - am hoping to get some more Christmas pressie sewing done this weekend ;-)

October Christmas blocks

The lovely Cynthia has let me know the blocks I made for her have arrived ;-)

I added an extra block as an Angel Block to fill in for her previous partner who was unable to complete her swap.

This gorgeous block & Christmas Decoration was from MicheleK - thank you so much, I love the fabrics you have chosen -- I feel very special indeed ;-)
