What can I say

What exactly can I say about Sew it Together?

Saturday started bright and early and the country travellers laughed themselves to the point of hysteria all the way to Melbourne.

I spent the day sporadically stitching in between chatting, talking, guffawing and hugging and then laughed all the way home again on the train. The train was full of blokes who had been to the footy but the loudest, most raucous, arm-flailing laugh-till-you-snort group were the five crafters in the end carriage!

I met a heap of fantastically warm and generous and funny bloggers in real life and even typing now I am breaking out into a huge grin.

The talent in the room was amazing - there was almost every kind of craft imaginable going on - but special mention does have to go to Andi who made a whole quilt on the day....I managed about 7 letters of embroidery and got some great advice embroidery from Cindy (thanks).

Sheridan put in so much work and so much effort and I really don't think she knows what she has started and she deserves the highest honours blogland has to give. Next year she will need a bigger venue to accommodate all the bloggers from this year plus everyone who missed out.....

and just in case there is someone who has missed me touting my wares all over the place lately - I made a bag for Homespun magazine a wee while ago and it is in their current "go Green issue" along with a bit of me banging on and the worst photo ever taken

(No seriously, someone at the show actually asked me why I had sent in such a hideous photo)

but the bag looks good

almost as good as Miss Claire's Frankie the Frog.
