My new shelf hasn't got a chance of being hung as my husband has been busy getting his new purchase (a bigger TV) ready for kick-off tonight.
I love going to the Craft Fair each year, it feels quite luxurious to take a morning just to wander around being inspired by the amazing quilts on display. Of course, it's not fun if I don't get to buy something so here are the goodies that came home with me ...
... also stocked up on some more of the Cottage Garden Threads that I love so much. I also bought a reel of their beautifully hand-died ric rac to try out. I will post some pictures tomorrow of some of the gorgeous quilts from the Fair.
If your computers can stand two more photos here is the stitching I have got done this week ...
It feels so good to have made a start on the Vignette blocks 5 and 9, LOTS of stitching to go but I have made a start!
And six more hexie flowers for my Hexagon quilt. Hopefully with six weeks of rugby to watch I will get more stitching done!
Happy stitching, Wendy
Oh and one last thing ...
GO ALL BLACKS!
Love your new patterns, especially the couch companion, I'll have to look for that one!
ReplyDeleteHave fun watching the Rugby, hope hubby doesn't shout too loud...
Nice purchases, I like the look of the Christmas tree one. My couch companion from Leannes House just needs the binding attached - but you'll probably still be finished yours before I am. lol RWC will look even better on your new TV! Can't wait, the excitement is building! Great chance to stitch too........
ReplyDeleteVery cool buys......love the Christmas trees also!!! The stitching is looking good and neat new threads (do you have plans for these?)
ReplyDeleteOur house is all set up for the rugby also...............GO THE ALL BLACKS !!!!!......
