Saturday saw Meredith, Leanne,Christine and myself up bright and early so we could attend the Stitcher's and Craft Fair.
We had our mandatory coffee and pastry at Banjoes at Campbell Town and then drove on to Hobart where we spent about 2 hours wandering around the stalls and quilt exhibition. The fair was a bit disappointing this year, with only a few good quilting stalls. Lots of beads, stamps and scrapbooking stalls for those so inclined.
I did mange to buy a couple of things though....
What visit to Hobart would be complete without a visit to the wonderful Quilted Crow shop? We visited with the lovely Deirdre and I purchased a little more fabric for my Dear Jane and the Easter Googies Cone kit that I have admired everytime I have been to the shop of late.
I also picked up my first block for The Quilt Aid quilt.
My first block is the one designed by Tassie's own Helen Stubbings. The block is just gorgeous and is called Bluebird of Hope.
QuiltAid is infact Helen's love child and she deserves a tremendous applause for all of her hard work....it surely is for an amazing cause!
