Off to Melbourne....

Just a quick post, very excited, off to Melbourne tomorrow evening after I finish work. Matt is taking Tuesday off to look after Gemma and drop girls off to school etc. And I am stocking up on some fabrics, cant wait!!!

Heres a pic of the bag I made my mum on the weekend, its her birthday this coming Wednesday and I am going to meet her for breakfast before I drive home.




This is a pencil case I made with some leftover fabrics for me to keep my memory stick and pencils/pens (of Course) to take to tafe.



And just to finish off, some fabrics I have been collecting from op shops, I would like to make a picnic quilt made of vintage fabrics, and some quilts to take camping out of vintage fabrics so have been collecting. Will may be mix with some fresh new ones but not too many. And with the camping quilts, will double the wadding I think to make really warm.




The middle pic, is a lot more orange than it shows, but I love it, they were old curtains.
Anyhow must go and finish packing and wrap mums present
Have a great week
