A quickie

   Today I headed in to Melbourne to get set up for the Craft and Quilt fair. I was lucky enough to be invited to be a guest of Catharina’s Vintage Stitches on stand C15. I’ll be there everyday, and it would be awesome if you came and said Hi (I am always terrified no-one will speak to me at these kinds of things).

I snapped a few quick photos today (with permission)

and stopped to tell this booth how much I loved their critters- only to realise it was Stephanie, who I had email conversations with about the show and her creatures before. These patterns make me want to be able to knit (but you guys know what I am like with the string crafts).

Photos at these kinds of things are notoriously difficult to take, but how cute are these sausage dogs ? Booth D26

and if you speak washi – you will be in some kind of heaven.

Are you free?

Is anyone heading in to the Quilt and Craft fair next Saturday the 24 th ?

Being the rather anal librarian type that I am I have organised a little schedule

Depart Ballarat train Station on the 8:13 train

Arrive Melbourne 9:23 am

Meet at Ballarat Patchwork stand (103) at 10.30 am

Re-convene at Amitie (H36) at 1pm so then we can have lunch and check out each others shopping.

How does that sound? Want to come and join us - it'll be the usual Ballarat crafty crowd (everyone welcome).

If you want to meet up - just join us at either Ballarat Patchwork or Amitie- or drop me an email and I'll give you my number if that suits you better.

(please remember that you will need comfy shoes and large bags. I recommend only bringing small axes if you plan to go on an I-met-my-friends-on-the-Internet-killing-spree )
