They say time flies when you are having fun. It's difficult to believe this time last week Jan and I were heading to Melbourne and focussed on set-up.
This is what the stand looked like very early on.
And here it is 8 hours later.
Some Christmas samples
and yummy bundles of fabric.
This is the 5th show we've been to in Melbourne and it was lovely to see and recognise so many faces.
It would be impossible to do the show on my own so a big thank you to Jan for her patience and help!

The show is almost here. Tomorrow is set up day, Jan & I plan to head off early tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed the weather is much nicer than it was today for the trip. We have lots of yummy things to tempt you, so make sure you drop by and say hi!
You'll find us at
Stand G29
See you there!

Every so often I love swapping the hand sewing with some simple machine piecing. After a long day I don't want anything too challenging; something that doesn't require too much concentration.
My new quilt Garden Party is that sort of sewing.
The pattern for Garden Party has been loaded onto the website. It costs $10.00 plus P&H.
The quilt will be on display at the show next week and kits will be available at Stand G29.

It's never too early to start planning for Christmas.
I'll be demonstrating how to make these Christmas Tags at the Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair this month. Once you see the simple technique, it will be possible to create a variety of tags to hang from the tree or tie to gifts.
The free demonstration takes place daily at 1pm in the Christmas in June area.
Come and take a peek at these and many more Christmas projects at

Do you have a pattern you love making? That's how I feel about this bag pattern Autumn Blush.
A few weeks ago I made it in a gorgeous floral.
And last night made it again in a red stripe.
You'll find both these samples and the kits at the Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair next month. Stand G29.

Not too long now to this years Craft & Quilt Fair in Melbourne. There are samples to make and kits to do. These quick and easy decorations with a Theodora Cleave button are just one of the many new things you'll find on my stand.
I just wish the kits were as much fun to do as the samples are to make.
Don't forget, the Melbourne show is being held in June this year.
We'd both be sad if you missed it.
