Birthday Weekend

Hi  all, I hope you had a good weekend.  On Saturday I went with one of my sisters to the quilting show at The Westpoint Showground near Exeter. I havn't been to this show before as I dont do quilting (sister does) but I do make lots of things from pretty fabrics. I was pleasantly surprised, I always try and go the Creative Stitches and craft supplies fairs there but being just fabric and I suppose more of a limited audience it was a pleasure to look around and you could actually get to the stands and have good look instead of pushing your arm through the crowd and hoping for the best !

Here are some of the fabrics I bought, the roll has I think 20 squares od the most lovely vintage inspired patterns

Later that day Miss V had to shows to do with the Beavers group so quite a bit of running around to do but great fun

Yesterday it was my birthday - nice cup of tea in bed with Mr V and Miss V while I opened all my lovely cards and presents.

Mum in law always buys me a suprise from Cath Kidston - this year it was the lovely sewing basket and knitting bag - perfect !

In previous years I have had the CK Roberts Digital radio and the red spotty suitcase !

My other sister gave me these lovely Laura Ashley storage baskets, I expect I will use them for fabric

I also had these great books and many other lovely things - thank you

Well I had better get on with some sewing or the day will be gone. Going to visit a friend's new baby boy when Miss V comes home from school - lovely

Back soon  Sue x
