New found hobbies

The Peninsula craft fair went very well and we met some lovely visitors to our stand. The show organisers were also fantastic - thanks to Lynne, David and all the volunteers from the Dromana Rotary. We have exhibited at quite a few craft fairs now and we have never had cups of tea served up to us on our stand and we even got a plate of scones this afternoon as well! Very spoilt! Looking forward to next year :-)


So, being me and being at a craft fair, of course I had to go and have a wander. The girls thought I'd be safe as we were the only stamping stand there. I came back with pre-cut quilting squares and some wool! So I am going to make a patchwork quilt! I will add that I have never done patchwork before and don't have a very healthy relationship with my sewing maching but how hard can it be, really *VBG* Seriously though I am attempting something very simple, the squares are all pre-cut, the lady on the stand worked out exactly how many I will need and all I have to do is sew them together...


So onto the wool. I can knit but thought I would still do something simple so I will finish it so bought some beautiful variagrated merino wool. It was on a hank so it needed to be wound into a ball. So I put it onto the back of a chair to wind it but should have known better when Buffy and Charlotte took an interest in what I was doing....
