My unexpected trip to Sydney was to help a friend, my reward was a lovely few days at the Sydney Quilt and Craft Fair….with stalls, quilt show, miniworkshops and a doll show there was lots to see…I ran into a lot of friends and had coffee with some of the southerncrosscrazies girls…and there was lots to buy…the things that I could not resist were a miniature Babushka doll, some beads and some charms….
….and some more beads, this lot are Delicas for a beading project which I couldn’t resist starting when I got home tonight….
My other purchase was a kit for making ATCs (Artists Trading Cards) which came with a 50 minute workshop with Polky Bolton (Quilting Arts Magazine)…We had a delightful, messy time playing with fabric paints, inks and stamps as we created a background that will cut into 9 ATCs…Polky also gave us lots of ideas for embellishing and instructions for finishing the cards…
