Wow…what a great weekend we had at the AQM trade show in Melbourne. A fantastic opportunity to meet up with lots of other designers and also shop owners, and to have a look at what is new in fabrics and designs and threads and……. the list goes on!!!

I was able to meet the fabulous Amy Butler (no I didn't stalk her LOL), she was very gracious with her time and I know she signed about a hundred books (mine included!!) I had my photo taken with her but on Leanne's camera so still waiting for that.

I also met up with Linda from Gum Valley Patchwork, Sarah from Quilt Fabric Delights and Jane from The Patchwork Apple.

Jane and I,

My display side of the Creative Abundance booth

You can pop over to Lynette,  Leanne, Rosie, Natalie , Janelle and Melly to see more photos. I also met the most gorgeous new baby……yes Natalie bought her tiny gorgeous girl along, she was a dream…..and Natalie was able to catch up with lots of people!!

Finally for today…(yes i will be back to show what fabric I bought), don't forget to leave a comment on the PREVIOUS post to win a copy of one of my new patterns…..a bag called Emma Jane

that's all for now, I am off to play with fabric!!!
