This has to be one of my favourite shows.
Jan & I set up in record time.
There's always a spot for Christmas.
My favourite fabrics. I wish I could keep them all to myself!
Rebecca with her Buttons & Blooms purse. I get a real buzz seeing them made up and hearing they are well used.
If you'd like to see more pictures, check out Barb's blog. We managed to catch up for a brief moment on the first day.

AQC is almost here. I'm excited as this year I'm running a Make & Take class.
It's a handy pins & needles keep. All the prep is done, leaving the fun bit - stitching - for you to do.
The cost is $15 and you book at Stand 190.
See you there

Deciding what to sew over Easter was easy. A big bag featuring a Cotton & Steel print. Once upon a time I would have avoided anything with splashes of orange, but this is now officially my favourite fabric. The little drawstring bag was made from the left over fabrics.
Please email me if you'd like to purchase any of these fabrics.
Can you believe AQC is just over two weeks away. (Less than a week before I have to load the pallet; I'm beginning to think my easter sewing was a frivolous use of my time.)
Today the button order arrived from Barb, Theodora Cleave. Barb's buttons are all beautiful and it's hard selecting which ones to take, so I asked her to choose for me!
Make sure you drop by Stand 190 and check out these fabrics, buttons and lots more.

It's true, I think about Christmas just about all year round. You'd think come January I'd be way over Christmas, but often this is when I'm most excited about making stuff. I was going through my collection of Barb's Christmas buttons and got to wondering how a Santa button would look on the Christmas Magic tag.
I did tweak the tag, swapping the gifts from the right to left-hand side and got a perfect match!
The pattern and kit for are available from my on line store.
Christmas Magic - pattern $6.50 plus P&H
Christmas Magic kit with Santa Button - $16.50 plus P&H
The kit includes the pattern, fabrics, iron-on-pellon, threads, ribbon, Santa Button and cardboard.
