Craft Alive Dubbo.......

What a wonderful spontanious day................I wasn't going.......to much on but I saw the ad on tv this morning and thought that would be good and it actually starts today.................

the ads are great........this is one I found from 2012.........pretty similar now.....very funny..........

 

On the way I was thinking I should text Ruthanne and the first person I run into was Ruthanne....

told her I was booking into a few classes and she joined me too...........here we are at Under the Mulberry Tree booking into Rosalie Quinlan's class...............

Ran into the lovely Helen who I always see at Girls Day in the Country...............she has a stand Country Pieces............got some nice fabrics here too........

For some reason the pic is upside down but the patterns are Red Brolly and Lynette Anderson..........

lovely floral prints and a 1930's print..........

 Fabrics 4 u 2.........some lovely fat 1/4's to purchase among other goodies on the stand...........

 Some feet for a bag I need to make...........

Loved this stand........Scrap Box Patchwork Designs

what a bright lovely stand........great designs..........

Joined the lovely Jane from BeBe Bold for a Sashiko workshop..............wow this is addictive............but I refused to buy another pattern until I get this piece made into a runner..........hopefully that will be soon.....loved it...........

now I know how to do this it's great.............thanks Jane..........

A view of the hall packed to the brim with crafty goodness..............heaps of quilting stuff........even had a go on a quilting frame at Brindabella Quiling ..........and I made a smooth loop........very impressed..............Mr Chooky even looked at the flash ones...............

Reece Scannell was there..............gorgeous hand printed cottons and linens.............

Love this pinflower print on cotton................

And just as I was leaving I found Jan from Red Shed Quilting..............we have been in a swap together and emailed/commented over a few years ......this was a lovely surprise........because when I was email Jan last I was not going........

Also saw quite a few friends...........

well worth the day and the workshops were fun........still think I missed seeing stuff..................
