No Time For Sewing

The last couple of weeks has been lacking sewing time. I haven't touched any of June's blocks and I am getting a little edgy not being behind the sewing machine. Compared to last year where I did hardly any machine sewing and wasn't fussed about it. This year I am pumped to get behind the sewing machine and create. The brain has been running crazy lately. I am seeing new patterns and designs everywhere in all sorts of different places. Now all I have to do is make sense of all these ideas and turn them into viable projects. I may not have of done any sewing but I have selected a lovely range of pink batik fabrics for a new hand piecing project. Do you like my choice?


Until next time

Salisbury Craft & Hobby Fair 2014


What a blast I had at the Salisbury Craft & Hobby Fair over the June long weekend. I didn't realise how many people I had to catch up with, so in between sales I was catching up with all the news from stall holders and friends I haven't seen in a while. Over 3 days there was a lot to do with promoting my products, demonstrating English paper piecing,  giving my opinion on a variety of topics, answering lots of questions, some were very interesting. At least they were all easy enough to answer on my part. I don't like it when I get that really curly question that I can't answer.  I had empty boxes when I packed up and that is always a good feeling as I must have sold plenty. I would love to sell out just once but I know that will never happen. I'm just too well prepared. Here is a couple pictures of my stall.



  The only problem with having such a good weekend was I got no sewing done. I'm itching to get behind the sewing machine and start on June's blocks that are waiting to be done. 
Until next time
