Yesterday Mum and I headed off to AQC in Melbourne.
I prepared a list of must haves that I wanted to source at the show. Happily I ticked all the 'need' boxes and didn't really buy anything off the list. On the way home we stopped off at GJ's for their 25% off sale where I bought some homespun for a project I am mulling over.
Here are the purchases from my list..
I have already made up the reindeer tag and it was so simple once I worked it out. They will be my Christmas Items for this month so you will have to wait a little bit before I show off the finished item.
I absolutely love this cup! I bought an extra one for gifting.
We had a super day and I took lots of photos of my favourite quilts...
Get ready for the pics...

Enjoying the last of the holidays. I have a list of things to get done before Monday.
Hopefully I will have some pics to show and tell!
Have a lovely weekend

I am a big fan of Theodore Cleave buttons, lucky you to be able to drool over them before buying :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your purchases, those buttons are very cute. all the quilts look fantastic, imagine the hours involved!
ReplyDeleteDO love all the hexagon quilts...maybe I should bring out my long term hexie project? My sewing mojo has been missing for a while, do you think if I drank from that wonderful bug it might come back?
ReplyDeleteHugs, Kathy
