Month: May 2013

I have had a wonderful trip to the US for Spring Market. I started in Seattle and a visit ot a great Quilt Shop called Keepsake Cottage Fabrics. Julie kindly offered to drive us to see her shop, and it was just gorgeous!

Here we are with Berries and Bluebirds done in Flower Sugar, this was the colourway offered by Julie and it looks fab! I also bought the kit of Julie's quilt that is in the latest Quilt Sampler magazine, make sure you visit her shop if you can!!

We also visited this great place…

Then it was off to here..

what a gorgeous shop too! It has been on my list to visit and I was in heaven!!

Helen and I had some great women in the class and they all went away very happy!!

Then it was off to Portland for Spring Market..Helen drove….I navigated….and we got there!!

Kelly Ann from Kelly Ann's Quilting, she was a lot of fun to hang out with!!

I had a great time and met so many more people….thanks everyone for stopping by to see me…

just some of the food on offer….

so now it's back to work (well I was working in the US too…sort of…)
