Into the city

Today I was up early...actually an hour early as hubby got mixed up and woke me with a cuppa at 5.45 am instead of 6.45 as requested!! Still I enjoyed the cold cuppa at a more sensible time!! I drove to Geelong and caught the train in to the city and wandered down to Jeff's Shed to the Craft and Quilt Show....you can tell the other crafters by the bags they were carrying!! And the flow of women from the train station down the road. I had a great time wandering around and seeing a few familiar faces, Karen and Donna, Jill and Jodi, who were rushing of to do their white glove duties! I have taken many photos of quilts that caught my eye...yep photo heavy again I am sorry...I could have taken lots more, just put the camera away after a while and enjoyed. A feast for the eyes....






Was very surprised to see my name on this list....

I made the orange bucket and spade block for the Quilt In block challenge last year






It was cold and drizzling when I came back out into the real world!!

on the train going in and a little on the way home, I worked on some clam shells

I found these little treasures on a stand...

they go on your finger and light up your sewing as you sew!!I think it is supposed to be on the top of my finger,I need to have  a play with it!!
Off to enjoy pizza for dinner.
Happy sewing.

  3. Some gorgeous quilts Sue. Hard to choose a favourite. I had a thought ... I would love to be sitting next to you on the train journey (as a stranger) & asking you all about your clamshells as you stitched away !!! The Quilt show comes to Hamilton yearly so I must try & get there this year.

  5. I made the trip in on Thursday and had a great time. The quilts were stunning and made me feel like an amateur but it was motivating to try harder and get over my fear of home machine quilting.

  7. Some awesome quilts there. Hmmm, not quite sure how I could sew with one of those lights on my finger. Maybe it attaches to the nose? Loving your clam shells.
