I spent Saturday with 2 special creative friends at the Quilt and Craft Fair. It was lovely to be surrounded by all things crafty, especially yummy fabric. I managed to add to my stash (I was seriously lacking in Polka Dots!), some of the fabric came from the Patchwork with Gail B stand (their shop is in Bayswater, Victoria) – the fat 1/4’s were $3.50 and they have $14pm fabric at the shop. I also bought a Better Homes and Gardens showbag with a current and back issue of the mag and lots of samples. Some jumbo ric rac also made it’s way into my shopping bag along with a ball of cotton for crocheting (not me, my Mum), 2 x 1/2 metres of Barefoot Roses and some fat 1/8’s…
Saturday also happened to be smileykylie’s Birthday – Happy Birthday from your Sewing Sisters! I made Kylie a rose bag, I thought I’d show you a before and after photo of the progression from cushion cover to bag.Apparently she took it out to dinner – with her family (not just the bag!). I am planning to have an Etsy shop by my birthday, which is 5 weeks away, & I’ll be selling these babies in my shop.
With Love

You have such great taste in Fabric, I am so glad you had a great time. Remeber last year when we went and met the lovely Suzitee and her gorgoeus daughter, we had such a lovely time. I might just have to fly back for next year's Craft Fair.
Can't wait for your Etsy shop to be up and running, I can see where all my money will be going lol.
