Well I had such a fabulous time at the Quilt and Craft fair on Wednesday that I went again on Thursday. Of course - because I had spent a whole day there already there was no need to buy anything on my second day was there (??) ......... yeah right!!!
Look what I found ....
Just love the cupcake fabrics .... I have no idea what I'll use them for but they were too cute to leave behind - the lady before me bought the last pink ones ... grrr lol. The coffee cup one and the red spot above it will soon become my new mug bag for when I go to my quilting group ('cos everyone knows that I have a coffee addiction LOL!!!) .... the "I love fat quarters" piece will be made into a bag for my friend Jill from UK and the one in the middle and right on top - no idea ... just loved them ;o). I also bought more of these cute pencils ... I know lots of people that would get a kick out of these and they really were irresistable!!!
I took my camera this time and got a couple of piccies of the antique quilts on show. This one was estimated to be c1840-1850. It was in fabulous condition. Hand pieced and hand quilted ... just beautiful.
So now I'm off to my Friday "craft" group .... oh, I use that term very loosely as there are only a couple of us that actually "craft" there any more. But we've been meeting since our kids were in primary school and we have a great time when we all get together.

Joy :o)
I made a mad dash to my local quilt store - Bayside Stitchcraft on Monday afternoon. I got an idea in my head and I just HAD to buy the fabrics then and there!!! Do you ever get like that LOL?? I found exactly what I wanted ... and more!!! Isn't that trim totally irresistable ..... AND it matches the fabrics I bought perfectly - they are 'Charm Bracelet' by Wyndham. The trim doesn't go with the design I have in mind at all but there's bound to be leftovers so I'll use it with those. Gorgeous!!!
I got a lovely email from my Stitcher's Angel swap partner in UK. She's received the last of my gifties to her and was very pleased with them :o) (yay). It's been a terrific swap - my first - and I've had such fun doing it. Huge thanks must go to 
... and isn't this a great idea "Mug 'ems" ... a pressie in a mug!!! You can put the dry ingredients in a mug for any one of a bunch of different yummy recipes, tie it up with a pretty ribbon and there you have a lovely gift!!! 
... and the other book, you make up a big batch of master muffin mix and keep it in the pantry so that each time you want to make muffins you have the dry part of the mix already done for you, you just take out what you need and add your flavourings!!! Love it!!
