The Shopping ~ Craft and Quilt Fair Part 2

Who couldn't resist this gorgeous bundle of fat 1/8's by Anni Downes of Hatched and Patched...
it's her new Christmas range that can be used all year round......just perfect!!!
I ran into Yvonne at Anni's stall and she was proudly showing them to me as she had just bought some!



2 Japanese fat 1/4 by Studio Mio


The fat 1/4 on the right is Petite Odile by French General
The pattern is Prairie Flower which I showed in the last post
it was just so homely, old fashioned looking and I had to have it!!!
And of course a paisley fat 1/8


I bought this bobbin to make a pin cushion by Anni which was featured in an earlier edition of Homespun magazine......I'll write more about this later
Check out the Harry Potter ribbon......sooooo cool!!!
Couldn't resist the paisley one either



I started this kit last night.....I was determined to buy something and make it up as soon as I could after the show!!!


Anni's latest book The Simple Life along with Simple Pleasures...


Zips......I don't do zips but I might.......these were too tempting!!!


I thought this might be good for some of JoJo's zippers on jackets as they often lose the 'thing' on them...


'the loot'


and coming back from dinner on Friday night these lovely ladies were posing for a photo and we (Chooky and Anita and I) raided it ha ha
From back Dale,  Peg, Suzie, Lynda,  Kerry, me, Chooky


And look at this for a nice touch......JoJo and Mr Armchair bought me this scarf at Paddy's Markets for $5-00......not bad eh!!!!

But wait......there's still more......I'll be back with the food and sights!!!

Until then stay warm......Dzintra
