...........The list of things I want to make just got a whole lot longer......hehe
I could have brought the whole fair home with me, I loved so much stuff!!!....lol....
But this little lot managed to fit in the suitcase and with only 1kg left on the scales at the airport, I was wiping my brow.........!!!!!....
......Sue Daley was demonstrating her English Paper Piecing, so I kind of bought ALL the things a girl needs to get started.......
Some patterns I fell in love with, along with a lovely piece of felted wool for one of the pattern bags.
Did I say I could have brought EVERYTHING home....well if I could have brought one stall home to live with me it would be Hatched and Patched......I wanted it all!!!!......I fell in love with some silk fabric...great texture.....what colour???....couldn't decide....bought all 3 bundles!!!!!......and a few patterns........
These pretty fabrics I went looking for all over the fair.....they will become Leanne Beasley's Butterfly Garden....have a look at Bec's, she's responsible for this little bundle of fabrics!!!!!....her quilt inspired me to make one....and behind the fabric, 2 hand quilting thread spools....hard to get locally...
.....and a personally signed copy of this beautiful Hardanger book........a new challenge for me......have done some Hardanger years ago, and need reminding.....
I absolutely loved my few days at the Fair, and the extra socialising in between. I had been to the Fair in Brisbane before, but this one was so much bigger. I feel all inspired now...this is the best kind of retail therapy in the world for me........
So you will understand if I sign off now.....I have to get busy, busy, busy!!!!!!! soooooo much to do...lol...
