About last night ....

A small group and lots of fun.

Justine had a shy moment while making some sweet 'quiet time pillows'.


Cath made some funky pink coasters using CDs and some leopard print. Lovely!!!


I also had a shy moment, hiding behind my latest quilting effort:


Justine took a rather arty shot of my quilt too ....


Annette did some clever knitting .....


.... with a bit of help from Mary, who wins the prize for the most productive crafter of the week.

Here she is modelling a hat she's knitted:


and just a few others ....



Also on Mary's "Done" list this week is:

the most hysterical pair of cufflinks ...


A stunning necklace made using knitted wire ....


And a resin bangle she just "whipped up" ....


Of course, we didn't starve either ...


Hope your evening was crafty too.

Labels?

Quick question .....

Where do you guys get your fabric labels / tags made?
I want some little 'patch andi' labels to attach to quilts, bags, pillows, etc.

All suggestions appreciated.

Here it is, just needed a good sleep and it came to me!

Flogger

Bec

got gifts, will party


Mum made the cheesecake while I busted out these lastminute.com pressies for tomorrow. Thanks Mary and everyone for your suggestions yesterday. One headband is denim on one side - in this photo, it's wearing an invisibility cloak but it really is there.

Ok, completely forgot what I was originally supposed to post about, but found that book we were talking about, in The Book Depository, which we were also talking about!
And don't you love this?
Good news and Bad news.
I am not able to come for the next 6 weeks (that's the bad news, for me anyway!) as I am doing a bag course with Nikki (that's the good news). So please do lots of posting so I can catch up!
PS There'll be a photo of finished bunting soon! 100 flags!

PS - Thanks to Judy for my square demo. So patient - you must work with kids or something...
