Quilt show purchases

I think I was rather restrained in my puchases this year...

First off was Natalie Birds new book "Red Home". I also bought the fabric pack for the gorgeous hexi pinchushion thats inside and two packs of reproduction reds.


Second, two fabric packs from Annis the Simple Life, a bookmark, the zippy purse. and from Studio Mio two gorgeous fat quarters.  Kate gave me a mini 2.5" charm pack from French General Chateau Rouge for giving her a lift to the show, yay me!!


and finally I signed up for Carolyn Konigs '1860 Marriage Quilt' BOM. It goes for TWO YEARS and is all hand pieced...I went back to her stall fifty times and finally took the plunge. The colours are gorgeous and will definately be a long road, I think the reward at the end will be worth it...

I will leave you with this pic I borrowed from Kate's blog...goodbye Sydney Craft and Quilt Show 2012
