Hi everyone. Well, I had fab time at the show today, but boy are my feet sore!! I bought the things I needed, as wel as some nice fabrics, there was so much choice it was overwhelming!
I bought some fabrics for the cat's window seat cushions - orange and back colours with the (misguided?) idea that the hair won't show up as much!
The quilts on show were truly awe inspring! Amazing pieces of work. I chetted to some nice people (including Marti Mitchell, she was so helpful and her husband Dick is lovely too). I could have stayed all day and spent a fortune! Loved it! Was thinking I couldn't wait to get home to show you all the pics! Hope you are all having a good weekend!

Can you spot anything in the pic of goodies that might be destined for a trip over to the US (to you!) ?
