my trip to Attic Crafts

A big thank you to Teena and Donna, at Attic Crafts Bendigo, for a fabulous morning tea last Wednesday. I know I had a great time meeting lots of like minded girls.

I found time to catch up with Barb  and a visit to her favourite shop Mon Couer. I was good though and resisted the temptation to purchase everthing I oohed and aahed over.

I could not resist this yummy ticking (not half a metre, which is all I needed, but a metre). There are many gorgeous fabrics to chose from at Attic Crafts, you can see just a few in the above pictures. I didn't know which wall or bundle of fabric to start with. If you're in the Bendigo area make sure you include the shop on your list of places to visit. 

And it's already been cut into it. How good is that - it didn't make it to the stash. The stash of  fabrics I had to have becuase I needed them for a project that would absolutely, positively be started the next day ...... I guess it comes as no suprise that for some fabrics that day is still just around the corner, but not for this one.

Biggest Morning Tea

I'm almost packed for the trip to Attic Crafts for their Biggest Morning Tea - a fund raiser for The Cancer Council of Victoria. It's on this Wednesday 27 May 10 am -12 noon.

I've gone through my samples trying to guess which ones will be of most interest. I'd like to pack them all but it's just not possible. If your in Bendigo please drop by for a cuppa and to say hello.

Pictures of my packing are hardly inspiring so I thought you might prefer to see some of the things I've been working on.  This is Barb's 'everyday angel'. How gorgeous is she? So simple and quick to make.

I love all Barb's buttons and think I may have inadvertently set myself a goal to use all of them. Pretty in green and pink.

Just as lovely in the red.

Yes, they are from the Greeting Cards pattern, but with a couple of changes, transformed into  needlecases.

And a peek at the inside.

Love the spot. It's a piece I haven't been able to bring myself to cut into, but I'm glad I did.

Attic Crafts - Australia's Biggest Morning Tea

Attic Crafts are hosting a morning tea on Wednesday 27 May, from 10 am to 12 noon, to help raise funds for cancer research.

I'll be there too with my samples and patterns and would love to share a cuppa with you. Please drop in and help support this very worthwhile fundraiser.
